Thread:
What is McDavid worth
the question is, pre or post trade demand.
Honestly, 1st over all (possibly 2nd) in the draft, and maybe another 1st on top of it. That's what I think his value is.
If they got Hughes or Kaapo, or Lafrenière I think it's a fair trade.
Lots of people over value McDavid. I don't think he has the value of say a Crosby in his youth. I say that because McDavid sucks at faceoffs and his game is built solely on speed. The older he gets the more he'll slow down. That's nature. By his early 30s he won't be the same player as Crosby can be. I just don't see the longevity in his game. Especially as the game keeps getting faster and the other players are catching up to him. It makes him less of a threat on the ice when there are multiple players that can keep up with him.
There are some generational type players out there. Bergeron because you don't want to go against him in the faceoff circle. He gives his team such an advantage that way that it's hard to match.
Crosby because his hand eye coordination and instincts are off the chart.
Karlsson because he's just so dominate as a defense man at reading the ice.
But none of those traits are really age defined like McDavid's are. He'll only be the fastest player on the ice for so long. When that slips can anyone really say they see him being as dominate?
He'll be 23 next year. You hit your physical peak at 25-26. Then you go into decline. Most players can extend their peak into their early 30s through experience. But for McDavid, will that be the case? Experience isn't going to make his legs faster, and that is what he depends on. That's what worries me about him as a player. I see 0 growth in his game. So trading him for a 1st or 2nd over all is what I see as a fair trade. Either Hughes or Lafrenière could be better players than him in the long run. Especially Hughes who could be a player much like Crosby. Where it's his hand eye and his vision in the game that make him so dominate, not his legs.

What is McDavid worth
I don’t think you ever get what a player of McDavid’s caliber is worth. One of two scenarios would play out, either a team would overpay dearly for him and wreak their own team or if he demanded a trade other teams may low ball the oilers cause they know they are in a tough spot. I remember the Gretzky trade all too well and I don’t think the Oilers won that trade at all. I personally think that McDavid is worth a top line player, a top 2 D, a top prospect and one or two firsts. Just for comparison I will use the Canes as an example. I would ask for Aho, Slavin, Svechnikov and 2 firsts.

Constructive criticism or dont bother posting anything
Personally I would rather see marner gone to trade or offersheet than pay him anything over 10.5m.
Never really gave much thought to zaitsev to Calgary. It certainly isn’t a horrible idea. They have no real RHD in the pipe. I’m not sure if they make that deal but it’s a good thought.
Marleau... meh it’s a Marleau Trade.

Tear everything apart
As a Kings fans, here are my problems with this:
Neither of the Arizona trades make sense for either team. The first one (DB+Anderson+Red) is a terrible trade for LA if it made sense. Anderson is a prospect the Kings would like to see develop in Ontario after captaining the WJ USA team. He's been a very pleasant surprise. Brown is coming off of 2 50+ point seasons in a row, and is the beating heart and soul of the Kings team. Those two aren't going to Arizona for some 25 point guy and a 5th round pick, that's terrible.
Blake Lizotte hasn't shown enough at the NHL/prospect level to be worth much, and Kovalchuk doesn't make sense for Arizona in terms of their rebuild/age group.
Martinez, as much as I'd like him to be, isn't worth a 1st rounder, due to his age. Probably a 2nd and a B+ prospect.
I don't know enough about the Ottawa prospects to even speculate on that, but I've NEVER been impressed with Anthony Duclair. I imagine there's a reason he's jumped around as much as he has. Besides, the Kings will look to get picks for Quick.
Carter is coming off of a terrible year where he had to rehab a tendon-tear. Two years ago, he led the team in points (2016-2017). My assumption is they hold onto him for this year, hoping he regains his health/scoring touch. He'll be looked at as a piece to maybe move at the deadline to a team that needs experience and scoring. Maybe Carolina? Florida? Hopefully somewhere on the East Coast.
Undervaluing Matt Luff a bit. He just put up 10+ goals as a rookie who didn't play for over half the season. I'd imagine he's worth a 2nd rounder.

Arizona declines both trades, cant take on that much cap and just generally doesnt make sense. Martinez gets a late first at most, not a top 15 pick from a team going to rebuild. Again the quick trade makes 0 sense, rebuilding team like that wouldnt give up that many assets for an aging goalie. Carter trade seems decent, I think a smarter way to trade him would just be to retain salary and get actual value rather than giving up a 2nd with him, Carter at 2.6 mill has legitimate value and the kings can afford to eat a lot of cap, (you can do the same thing with the other players you gave up as well)

CHI VGK
As a CHI fan...I don't want the trade. I tend to agree that they might win value wise, but Risto's redundant on their team. It's not like he'll ever run the PP with Gus currently on the team and Boqvist in the wings.

2019-20 Avs Predictions
Agreed I'd rather have a bigger name FA, but I think we'll lose out on Panarin/Skinner and overpay a bit for a guy like Eberle.
I do think Francouz will be the backup, but I wouldn't be surprised if we signed an older fringe NHL backup goalie for insurance. He was on a one-way contract last year, so that's not necessarily evidence that management thinks he will be in the NHL, but I still think he will be.

Yeah MN makes out like bandits in that deal. I'd do that in a heartbeat. I actually think the value isn't awful but other than Spurgeon there isn't a high-end piece. It takes a superstar to get a superstar.
