<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Not really, Bruz is a better prospect than Lohrei imo, and has the higher upside, then you add a late first (similar to Vancouvers) and a C-B prospect. Not nearly as high of a return as the Lindy trade.</div></div>

I think you misunderstood my post. You're saying that the comp to acquire Hanfin (a left-handed dmen) is the same as the cost to acquire Lindholm (a centerman). The reality is that centers go for a premium, especially 1st line centers. If CGY can get the same deal for Hanifin that they got for Lindholm then they 100% are taking someone to the cleaners.

As for the rest of your post. Lohrei was top 10 in NCAA scoring among d-men last season and played all-situations. He played between the AHL (nearly a PGP player) &amp; NHL this season. He's a 6'4 smooth skating d-man that's a converted forward, but still decent defensively. Both guys are projected to be top 4 d-men if they hit their ceiling.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MyTeamsSuck</b></div><div>Hanifin is worth more than that. Look at the Lindy trade and lower the price by a fourth round pick. Lohrei a first and another prospect would get it done. If Lohrei is too much, replace him with Beecher and a third.</div></div>

What is the better deal?

Grz, Beecher, a 2025 first and a 2025 third

Or

Grz, Lohrei, and a 2026 second rounder

I’d personally take the second deal if choosing between the two. The question is what another team would offer comparatively with him being a rental with some strong rumors about a desired free agent destination which has money, need, a GM that is known to covet him, and the tie of the hometown team where he is close to his family.

I think sometimes as fans in this situation, we overvalue first round and second round picks compared to prospects. Doing well at the AHL or NHL level in terms of showing a usable skill set kills a significant percentage of prospect dreams

I’d probably ask for a secondary prospect with upside that fills a position of need if were Calgary. Could easily see them target an Oscar Jelvik type who is playing really well at BC

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Korax</b></div><div>Too much additions to the core. You will change your core too much and create inbalance VS what made you go into playoff in the first place (kinda like what happened last year with Kane and Tarasenko)</div></div>

Adding 2 depth pieces vs adding 2 guys that were power play guys… very different. This is more comparable to adding Copp and Vatrano. Kane was extremely injured and was a powerplay guy. Senko was decent too but what kill them in the playoffs was actually the coach changing the powerplay completely. Then somehow managed to be goalied by a hot streak from the kid. NJ was by far the faster team but we dominated in every other way except for their G stood on his head. Don’t think he has even played a game as good as he did in playoffs since
