Thread: TRADES
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Care to go into any details on the trades? People don't just move down 5 spots for no reason.

Also Flames trade with LA and draft Byfield, while getting a solid prospect and a 2020 2nd</div></div>

Panther move up to draft Sanderson scared that New Jersey will draft him at 11. They also badly need D. Chicago moves down to grab Askarov obviously with their goaltending issues. Picking Askarov in the top 10 is not ideal in my opinion so they trade down to grab him will also picking up another pick.

Sabres new GM will want to make a splash this coming draft and add a star Centreman. My guess is he won’t be available 38? San Jose takes the deal As they will also will add another high 2nd round pick.

Nashville trades to pick up a Centre as they took Jarvis with their first selection. They also don’t have a that great of a prospect pool so adding a sniper to their organization will help. St. Louis takes Poitier who could fit well and learn from a defensive team like the blues.

These are just my thoughts. What do you think?!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>With Rossi and Lundell on the board, Chicago won't take Askarov. Chicago doesn't have goal tending issues and that's the reason they traded Lehner. The bottom line is taking a goalie as a first 10 pick is the most risky position to draft so why do it? Another issue is anytime you have a Russian these days, their values move them down a couple notches as there is always the risk of trying to get them over here....Hawks know that too well which is another reason they pass.</div></div>

That's fair. I can see a team like Minnesota picking him. I can also see how Askarov may not be the best fit with Chicago as well. But I definitely think he'll come over and do just fine. Picking a forward would probably be the way to go as there would still be so much talent left on the board. But I wouldn't call an aging Crawford and an unreliable Malcom Subban the answer to success. All I'm saying is that whatever team picks him will have their goalie of the future without question.
