<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Club_de_Hockey_le_Canadien</b></div><div>The Athletic may be an exception but I've seen Romanov touted as an elite prospect in many other rankings above Timmins (The Hockey News especially). But that wasn't my point. Romanov is much more valuable to Montreal than Timmins is to Colorado. As a rebuilder, he is one of our best prospect and he will lead our LHD in the future. Whereas Timmins is behind Makar for your LHD and has Helleson there as well and you are a contending team.

I meant based on how valuable they are to their teams. But I would be willing to try to make a case for Romanov being seen as a better prospect. <strong>Romanov is NHL ready now</strong> and despite his size he is a very strong player. Playing 2nd pairing minutes in the KHL as producing like that as a defenseman is impressive and not disappointing. He is ready to play in the NHL on a 2nd pairing or higher where Timmins would most likely struggle due to facing weaker competition in the past. Their overall selection at the draft has very little impact on their value as Romanov has proved to be 1st round talent similarly to Timmins. Keep in mind Romanov is a year younger than Timmins and is of similar skill.</div></div>

Fair argument about Romanov being more valuable to Montreal than Timmins to Colorado. Montreal have no top 4 LHD of note, so they are desperate for Romanov to turn into that. Colorado need a top 4 RHD replacement for Johnson, but that situation isn't as acute as Montreal's need for LHD.

That said, the fact that Romanov is NHL ready isn't an advantage over Timmins because he is also NHL ready. In fact, Coach Bednar apparently wanted to play him right after he was drafted but he got concussed. And then last season he made the team out of camp and played 2 games and did very well, but they decided it was better for him to play 1st pairing minute in the AHL for 1 season rather than a sheltered role on a stacked blueline in the NHL. He's going to surprise a lot of people when he starts playing regularly, really good Dman who may jump straight into playing at a top 4 level.

Luke Hughes can't play defense while Hreshcuk excels in his own zone.
I'd argue both Schmidt and Behrens are better then Hughes as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Club_de_Hockey_le_Canadien</b></div><div>I haven't seen him below 20. His draft stock dropped from top 5 to top 20 but he's still a 1st round prospect.</div></div>

The most reputable list imo has him at 58 <a href="https://www.draftsite.com/nhl/mock-draft/2021/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.draftsite.com/nhl/mock-draft/2021/</a>

His average ranking is 21 though, which is heavily skewed by past mocks. Almost no one has him in the 1st round.

That improves it a bit. But if we're going to be handing out contracts to 30 year olds I'd rather get someone in UFA than giving up valuable futures.

I was refering to Detroit having the 1st pick even if they have the worst record they will probably pick 4th. Their luck in the lottery is awful.

Thread: Wishful Thinking Rebuild

Avs fans clearly #triggered on Timmins, lol.

I'm looking at your roster, and that season: Timmins is at least starting, if not in the top-4. So, I don't think you'd need to re-up Petry.

Thread: Wishful Thinking Rebuild

Certainly nothing wrong with the value in the Flames trade. A solid middle 6 forward for a mid level prospect and a 2nd. It also fills a position of need for the Flames.

Would the Flames do it? I guess it depends on whether or not they believe they can get Armia signed to a palatable extension and also on how they feel about little Z and where he fits going forward.

Comes down to the Flames trying to figure where either player will be in 3 years time, and which scenario they would rather have.

I hate the sockeyes and Totems but I'd be fine with Metropolitans, Kraken, or Steelheads. All are good names and I agree it would be cool to honor the former team.

This increases the canadiens chance against the Pens.

Unfortunately from what I've read, he's ineligible to play this year.
The signing is more to be able to keep him around the team and practice w/ them.

Sucks to burn year 1 of his ELC, but during the pandemic it was the best decision to keep him around high level professional hockey

Most likely a 1st round pick, 2nd round pick, 3rd round pick when he gets offer-sheeted and Tampa can't match as their players with NTC/NMC exercise them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Club_de_Hockey_le_Canadien</b></div><div>IMO a 1st or a 2nd and a prospect, but I don't totally know Graves' value so I might be off.</div></div>

Thanks. Graves looks as though he's going to be pretty darn solid for quite a while, so I think that could be an overpay (especially if it's a first). I like Danault a lot though and think he'd be a great fit in Colorado, so I might be willing to overpay a bit. Graves and a 2021 second (Avs don't have one this year) is something I would definitely do. Or Graves, a third, and a decent prospect. Maybe even Graves and Kaut if Montreal also sends a pick back (can't want all those seconds this year, right?). A lot depends on if Danault would re-sign with the Avs though.
