Thread: Laine- Fair or not
I don't think the Sens are trading a 1st round pick anytime soon, protected or not. I wouldn't want them to unless it was can't miss. Is Laine can't miss? it's debatable. I don't think he's the next Ovechkin but he should be a perennial 30 goal guy. If this was a young stud Dman instead of a winger, then I might have a different tune.

It's also not going to be an easy contract negotiation and I wouldn't want that affecting the Tkachuk negotiation because it would. Ie, Maple Leafs and Tavaras. Laine will want more than 9mil. Personally Chabot should be the highest paid player on the team for the foreseeable future unless Tkachuk as a crazy good season.

But I don't even think the Jets want a package like this. One defensive prospect when they are looking for a top 4 D minimum. I just don't think the Sens are a good trading partner for what they will want. It's also very clear the Sens are going after character guys that have some kind of connection to the organization be that a former player for one of the coaches or friend of a current player.

Thread: Laine trade
Man that's a big trade but I don't see the sens moving a 1st anytime soon, even if it is protected. I can get behind a Braanstrom, Tierney, Abramov plus a 2nd. I think the Jets could get more of what they want from another team

Personally I think Stone is a better overall player than Laine and it was Braanstrom, Lindberg and a 2nd in the Stone trade. Lindberg was a throw in. I get it's not the same with age, goal scoring ability and potential being the biggest factors. But If I had to choose between the 2 wingers, I'm still taking Stone right now. Hell he might even command more than Stone on his next contract. which is scary. I'd be willing to give more than the Stone trade because I get it's not the same, but not a crazy amount more

Thread: Fire poile
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeauxPreds1</b></div><div>Bonino will be able to bring back a 2nd at least at the trade deadline. Is Kunin worth a high 2nd another second and a fairly high 3rd. Evangelista was a projected 3rd rounder and as nice as Askarov is poile once again went with the BPA instead of a position of need</div></div>

Well I guess this is why you're not a scout or GM. You always go for BPA in the 1st especially and you trade for needs. Plus it's hard to project teenagers so the kid you picked to be your hopeful 1rw in 3 years may not play an nhl game.
Projected by who? You? Tsn? Central scouting? It doesn't matter what they think. Teams have their own list based on info we would never get. And Evangesta has the potential to be a better player than where he was taken.
While bonino was well liked, he was gone after this year. Kunin had half a point a game last year at 22 with a solid 2way game. And his tenacity is underrated. The last time the Preds had a C under 23 with even an hint of top 6 potential was probably Legwand... Which is very sad tbh. Thankfully Tomasino is there too. They turned a UFA going to walk and a 2nd, 3rd to a young top 2/3 C with 1/2 potential. That's solid
