Thread: Meier and Bratt
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rob32sjsharks</b></div><div>comparing basketball to hockey is foolish. they are completely different in hockey you have 4 lines in basketball you have 1.
in hockey you have the ability to set up 1 defensive line to offset another teams top line. and when you don’t have depth teams focus on elite players and limit their ability, put that player on a deeper team and he flourishes much like Kane did when he left buffalo for the sharks and then the sharks for Oilers.</div></div>

So we should value Meier based on expected performance and point totals that he's never come close to because he'll be playing with better teammates? Any GM would be laughed at and fired if that's how they operated. Meier is closer to DeBrincat then Tkachuk in terms of situation and points totals. And that return should be closer in line but less because DeBrincat is younger, scored more goals, and has a full year of contract + RFA vs Meier who would be half a year of contract + RFA!

Thread: Look to the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChucktheFNG</b></div><div>Nyquist with half retained is worth a late second round pick and a sweetener. But his value fluctuates around here.

Peeke is pretty much untouchable right now since he just signed an extension and is one of three healthy NHL starters on the team in the d-corps, but his value would be inflated due to being a top 4 RHD. He's been shopped by most non-Jackets fans around here for stuff like this year's third and a middle/bottom 6 center/cap dump player.

Korpisalo is an absurd case. After last years' hip surgery, he looks like the old Korpisalo in the limited action he's seen so far. He's traded straight up for a 5th, but I think he garners much higher favor with other GM's by the TDL if he stays this course.

Gavrikov is the big sell for the Jackets this year if he can't get the extension. He's highly valued mostly because he's a bargain deal for his cap hit. Incredibly underrated by non-Jackets fans, but undeniably a very good shutdown LHD. The bidding war will probably end around a late first rounder, a late third rounder, and a decent to good prospect.

Roslovic may need a change of scenery, but he's shown in the past that he could make a push for a #1 Center spot if he gets his consistency problem in check. Not sure what to value him at, but I would ask for a 2nd rounder next year.

Marcus Bjork literally played his first NHL game this week and just signed to play in North America over the summer. I don't think anyone has a real value for that guy yet, but hey he's a goal a game d-man so far so you should buy high on him.

Sean Kuraly is going nowhere unless it's an over pay. He's been one of the more consistently decent/good players on this team. If Kuraly and Roslovic both go I don't know how this team replaces their boring commercials every commercial break about local hockey. With all that said, I have no idea how to value him. A couple mid round picks possibly?</div></div>

I wanna say you’re crazy for thinking Gavrikov will return a 1st, 3rd AND a decent/good prospect because that would be a HAUL for a rental non-star player unless there’s an extension but this is the same league that gave up a 1st rounder for a rental Chiarot last year so I’ll reserve my judgement
