Pick 76 had value 2.55

Picks 100 and 126 have a combined value of 2.39

San Jose's going to get the better player, and got more value out of the deal. This one's a head-scratcher.</div></div>

I was wrong. Hopefully this works out. I’m pretty excited.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nate</b></div><div>Or, hear me out, Edmonton keeps a top 5 player in the league in Draisaitl. Edmonton's forward group is not the issue for them, it consists of the best player in the league and also a top 5 player in the league. They have viable options down the wings as well. What they need is defense, as 50% of their defense core is made up of a 38 year old Duncan Keith, Tyson Barrie, and Cody Ceci. See the issue there?</div></div>

Thread: Is Monahan actually available

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tkachinla</b></div><div>The point Ledge is making here is that CGY shouldn’t trade Monahan unless they are targeting a second trade that improves them at C. Nowhere on this site in the history of ever has anyone tried to say Monahan is on par with Eichel.

CGY should definitely be exploring options to upgrade over Monahan, and CGY has the assets to be a top bidder for Eichel. Monahan would have to move to make that deal work. Unfortunately, I think Treliving is also thinking that keeping Monahan and hoping he can play a full season without injury will improve his value — and he’d also be a decent 2C.

Flames fans want to see more change for the roster, however. And rightly so.</div></div>

i think all these eichel trades have broken me to the point that i belived someone else i respect a lot thinks that eichel is on par with monahan lmao

https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/d/debruja01.html#skaters_advanced_all

scroll down to his possesion metrics. he averaged around 1100 total minutes per 60 game season from 17-18 to 19-20, then in 20-21 cut to 610 minutes, which even in a covid year is a dramatic drop. ice time, production and trust of the coaching staff has dropped. i dont think im saying anything crazy here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Not unless Calgary is getting Eichel</div></div>

i respect you a lot but Monahan has not been playing like a 1C since 18-19. his WAR is around 63 percent. hes a solid 2C. but nowhere near Eichel level. this boston trade is fair price but it does nothing for the flames so they certainly decline.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>So it’s almost like the situation effected players differently??? Well I’m shocked. Seriously, cmon. Doesn’t that make sense to you? A player who’s primary weapon is his legs didn’t do well, older players who don’t rely on speed did better.

So the thing about him wanting out of boston and being unhappy there is based onnnnn? Nothing? Absolutely nothing? An instagram post you saw?</div></div>

Based on the fact he requested a trade a few months back, and the fact his ice time was cut in half. Hes not happy in boston.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CMcAvoy73</b></div><div>Sure. Don’t really care about advanced stats, but ya. That drop off in goals is crazy for a guy that was playing at a 25 goal per 82 pace over his career before that. Which option do you think is more likely:
1. A 24 year old just forgot how to play hockey
2. A shortened off season, no pre season, and a weird pandemic season affected debrusk more than most players.

One of those is logical, one of those is not.</div></div>

its not that he forgot how to play hockey lol. i think that he is unhappy in boston and would like out. his ice time was also cut significantly. also the pandemic argument is nonsensicle because look at players like Fleury and Jeff Carter who's careers were likely extended due to much needed rest. there are lots of examples of players who just burn out on their current teams. can debrusk bounce back? absolutely. is it more likely to bounce back somewhere other than boston? also yes.

i mean 5 goals and 9 assists in 41 games says a lot. on pace for only 10 goals in a full season. plus his advanced stats have dipped a lot.

any team with a debrusk like player wouldnt trade for him because there would be no point. and boston certainly wouldnt downgrade on him.

theyre on the decline, and debrusk definitely needs a fresh start elsewhere. 2023 doesnt look like a bad draft and Foudy isnt a terrible prospect. this is likely the most they could get for debrusk because his stock is falling a lot.
