Thread: Trading for Studs
VAN Trade:
Boeser is going to be an absolute stud, he's a point per game player in his rookie campaign. There's no way Vancouver, ever, decides to give up their future star. The value may be somewhat decent but by no means do both teams win, sure Vancouver gains blueline depth, a 2nd line winger, and a pick but Boeser will be better than Reinhart and Scandella in his career for sure. Also, it doesn't make sense for Vancouver to give up Vanek either who is currently on pace for about 57 points.

ARI Trade:

Once again, Arizona would never give up Keller unless they're getting a very similar player in return + more. Arizona is going to want to stay young to continue their rebuild properly. Sure O'Reilly sounds nice on paper but where is he going to fit in 1-2 years when Strome is breathing down his neck for the 1st line / 2nd line center position. Also, Ekman-Larsson is arguably a Top 5 D-Man in the league on any other team, he's been playing on a very weak Arizona squad for a while with a weak d-core for most of the time. You're going to need a larger haul for just Ekman-Larsson himself .

LA Trade:

For the 3rd time, no way the Kings give up a future elite sniper in Kempe, he is on pace for about 44 points in his rookie campaign and will likely heat up due to playing on a good team like LA. Pearson is also a Top 6 forward and no way LA would be willing to give him up just to get younger when they're a contender right now. Casey Mittelstadt may be good but he is nowhere near the hype of Kempe, at least to everyone outside of Buffalo. He won't have any true value until he is out of college. Just look at Colin White, he was point per game in his first college season and now he is barely on pace for 40 points in the AHL. No way LA takes a risk on Casey Mittelstadt.

FLA Trade:

You're criminally overrating Ekblad, who hasn't reached over 40 points in his career and had 21 points in 68 games last season. Now that you have Keller, who will be elite in the near future, why would trade him away for someone who is borderline elite (I wouldn't even consider elite) plus give away very high valued picks at the same time. Florida would be accepting that in a heartbeat if they got that offer. Goes to show how much you're overpaying for him.

All around every trade doesn't really make sense, the value is there on some but they would probably never happen. Plus between 2018-2020 you only have 14 picks, when you at default you should have 21 picks over 3 drafts. Not the best for a team in a rebuild.

Thread: Sell it all, get young, rebuild, roll the dice on Dahlin.
1/5 star trade for reasons:
-Price just signed an exntension, he isn't going.
-Draisaitl will maybe peak at a career high 90 points, Weber has been a top 5 defensive defenceman for the past 5-7 years as well as putting up over 40 points constantly. Price is also a top 3 goalie in the world. You aren't trading a top 5 D'D-Man and a Top 3 Goalie for a center who couldn't even hold his own without McDavid.
-Andrew Shaw is not worth a 2nd and a 3rd, Matt Duchene was traded for a 1st and a 3rd, and a B- level prospect. Shaws career high in points is 39, on a very good Blawkhawks squad.
-Even if you got Dahlin, your D-Core is still depleted with Mete or Petry becoming second best D-Man. I don't see MB giving away Weber, Alzner and Benn just so Dahlin gets top line minutes.

The pacioretty deal is okay, I definitely think Habs could get a better haul as Max can put up 40 goals on a very good team.
