Thread: Best Way to Tank
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>uphere</b></div><div>I think the general consensus among Oiler fans is that the 1st round pick is most likely tradable if it brings a good player with some term, and that is why many balk at the idea of giving up that asset for Ben Chiarot. Other Oiler fans suggest Chiarot is simply not worth that price.

It seems to me the return for Chiarot will be determined by the trade market. As I see it, that means Chiarot's value will be determined by the availability and asking price for other players. If Montreal has already set the price at a 1st round pick there really is no room for the price to increase so it serves other GMs well to sit back and wait to see who else comes available before the TDL.</div></div>

Everything you are saying is true. What I have been reading though is that chiarots market is picking up and he will be going before the trade deadline but after Christmas which could change everything. Insiders seem to think a 1st will happen but realistically Montreal is taking whatever the best return is.

So either Chiarot will kind of set the market for rental defencemen if he goes early in the new year or if he goes closer to deadline the market will already be set.

Also, not sure if Montreal has set the price at a 1st or if that is strictly like Elliot friedman and Pierre Lebrun speculating. With management changes I am sure Gorton hasn’t really got far with any talks
