Thread: Prospect Swap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rootferdukes</b></div><div>DET might be hesitant to move him so soon after drafting him, but this could also be a good time to buy low (3 assists in his first 26 SHL games so far).</div></div>

I don't think we can assess his SHL career yet after being out almost all of last year with a back injury. He should have a bigger role on his team this year, which should show how he's progressing and what they have in him. He looked really good during development camp this year, besides being winded easily, but he should be back in game shape fairly soon. Detroit will wait on his progress as he's one of their top forward prospects besides Veleno and Zadina.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div> it might be absolutely reasonable to trade Johansen for a similarly rated forward with a team like Detroit, New Jersey, or Montreal that has a lot of forward depth, and less at defense.</div></div>

Detroit has been drafting a lot of defense prospects in the last few years: McIsaac, Seider, Tuomisto, Johannssen, along with Hronek, Cholowski and Lindstrom. Detroit has a logjam on defense at the moment.

Thread: Trade up for Byram
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Drw4209</b></div><div>I know of the chart, I don't think GM's really use that as a guideline. The values are kinda off imo, I mean according to that chart I should be able to package 4 7th round picks for an early 2nd which is obviously ridiculous</div></div>

The GM's may not use that exact chart as a guideline, but they definitely have their own draft value charts that they use. It's not an exact science and you are right that just throwing 4 7th round picks gets you the same value, but who has 4 7th round picks?
I think that this trade actually may be right in line with what may be a deal. However, I see Colorado wanting a forward prospect that could step into the lineup this year. Someone like Svechnikov. Maybe the 60th + 6th + Svechnikov?
