Thread: Antianalytics asked so here it is
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tjm220</b></div><div>So, you’re saying 2 years of Connor McDavid is worth a near Vezina caliber goaltender, a first and a second line Center, both signed long-term, a top 12 first round pick, and a young forward who was drafted only a year ago and is already contributing in the NHL. Oh, and a young defenseman former first round pick who looks to be top four potential. He may be the best player in the world, but since he can’t win by himself it doesn’t make your team better giving up huge amounts of assets to get that player. Not unless the trade also happens to come with some magical spell that convinces him to sign long term for way less money than he’s currently making, so you have a prayer of a chance of building a team around him.</div></div>

Why does he have to resign for way less? The cap will keep going up and Ceci/Greenway money will be gone - can bury Campbell if needed, trade Sammy, buyout skinner. There's lots of money

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Greysuits</b></div><div>That's a lot to give up for someone you are going to slot in at 3C. At that point why not just keep Mitts and use that package to trade for a D.</div></div>

That's the point of hockey trades - the only reason the Mitts trade worked was because the Avs wanted a 2C and we wanted a Top4 D. I think Beniers could workout well here as he played A LOT with Power - adding to our culture of guys who want to be here. It would give us the best C depth in the league - Beniers ceiling and pace of play also &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Mitts. I think the above package would have been an overpay for Byram. I also think with the above there wouldn't even necessarily have to be a 1c.2c.3c - you'd have a 1A,1B,1C and you mix the lines up to ride whoever is on fire
