Thread: Trading 5th OVR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Agree with that sentiment 100%. This is the price for not going scorched earth type of rebuild unfortunately. Last year for sure was major drop off. This year however Im less worried. I know everyone is creaming their pants for Lindstrom but the truth is anyone from 3-10 is interchangeable. They all have equal potential, just different playing styles and abilities. All I ask from this mgmt is to take the BPA in their mind and not reach for a position just for need. If its a dman, take the dman.

Like I reiterated, the dman available at 5OV this year may make all other dmen in the entire organization available. Including Hutson for example.</div></div>

I would love to see Demidov or Lindstrom sneak by... but I'm realistic. Also, I agree that BPA is the way to go -&gt; Good Dman can be leverage to get good forwards - AKA Drysdale and Gauthier.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Trading the 5OV for anything other than a legit, already top player, would be a bad move.

It literally makes more sense to move Guys like Guhle, Hutson, Xhekaj, etc than trading the 5ov.

I think people need to hear this: The player taken at 5OV this year is likely to be the best player of all players drafted since Hughes and Gorton have been at the helm, with the exception of Slafkovsky. It makes more sense to move any player we've drafted since Slaf than to move the 5OV.

Just because 5OV is not a unanimous pick does not mean it is less valuable, so we should trade it.</div></div>

Fair enough. If we look at the 2023 draft picks after Reinbacher - a lot of people would also be happy with Benson, Michkov, Ryan Leonard.

After Slaf's and Hutson's pick - I'm starting to trust Bobrov and his picks. I just hate that we are once again outside the concensus/creme of the crop top 4...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ht42</b></div><div>If Kent Hughes isn't able to trade the Jets pick during the Draft, I can see Hughes trading it a make that trade latter in the offseason.

Don't forget the 50 players roster and you can't have more than 23 players on the NHL roster (and don't said that sending Dvorack to the AHL is a good idea.............)</div></div>

Well we have 46 contract and you don't have to give an ELC to players rigth away. Moreover, some ELC will expire and you can always move some contracts if they don't have a high cap space.

This is terrible asset management.

You trade 2 first round pick 1 for 1.... then you add Barron, Dvorak (1 year left at a cap we can afford), 2024 2nd round pick (COL), 2024 7th round pick (WSH), 2025 4th round pick (DET)

Dvorak will not cost Barron, a 2nd and a first to Dump... and if its the case, we'll just keep him and let his deal expire - have have 20M$ in cap space and roster space. You can just WAIT a year and keep all these assets. Dvorak will play on the 3rd or 4th line.
