Thread: Habs get 1st overall
You can't use the Lafleur, Kruvers, Kessel or Duchene because the teams wouldn't have made the trade if they knew the would drop to the rock bottom of the league.

Comparable in terms of actual return would the Yashin, Lindros or Karlsson trades. You have to give at least a premium assets to get premium player.
- Yashin trades was a massive win for OTT but cant forget that Yashin has had amazing seasons w/ both Islanders/Sens. Hence the cost of 2nd pick Jason Spezza and Zdeno Chara. Also, Islanders had a bunch of top 5-10 picks before getting Yashin which made Spezza "expandable"
- Karlsson: technically Sharks paid a premium pick (either Stuetzle or Byfield) to get Karlsson even though looks bad for them now due to Karlsson's most recent performance
- Lindros : no need to explain.

Thread: Hello Krug and Bye Bye Byram - Just to See It
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>The only very slim way Byram gets traded is if an absolute elite player is coming back like Eichel or Barkov is coming back. 5th OA and Fomenton isn’t getting Byram alone much less Byram and Bowers.</div></div>

This is a reminiscent of the Jones-Johanesen trade except there's a swap of top tier prospect so technically it's kinda fair. (Jones migh be the better player right now but Johansen helped the Preds reach the SCF in 2017)

Can't really value Byram higher than those kids since they're all unproven and top prospects.

If the Avs do make that trade, they'll have a shot at elite prospect in a very deep draft (unlike 2019)...whether is forwards (Raymond, Rossi, Perfetti) or even Yaroslav Askarov (kid has been on fire in the KHL as an 18 year old goalie).

Sens might have many issue but I think they would rather keep the 5th pick than trading it for Byram because that pick will fill 1 of their most important needs (legit #1 goalie prospect or elite forward prospect)
