Thread: How he will cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>it's a steep price for a lesser tanev. i know chicago fans on CF LOVE to place their guys at a high price but id be shocked if thats what he went for</div></div>

At $2.2m he is also significantly cheaper than what Tanev will receive in FA.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>The retention alone would cost the Sens a 2nd. Still gotta pay for Murphy after that. A 2nd might get him without retention. Add to that the Hawks aren't looking to move Murphy. Moving him creates a hole both on the ice and in the room for a team that wants to get better this season. With retention, it's a 1st or the Hawks just pass.</div></div>

My thoughts exactly, I have stated before that Murphy costs an early 2nd without retention, the price goes up if the Hawks retain. A 1st or 2 x 2nds or a 2nd and decent prospect.

Thread: Crazy idea to really upset CGY
I'm sure both Chicago and San Jose rather just make those picks. Alot of teams have guys like Harris and Barron, they aren't a hard to come by commodity. I'm not knocking them as I think they can both be players it's just they aren't hard to find. There are UFAs that yes will be more expensive but they are also better, if the team wants to compete now than that's probably the direction.
When talking about 20th overall, there may very well be some players rated top 15 fall to that pick. That's not as likely to happen at 27. So if they like a player at that spot, they take that player.
Similar with 14 overall. Alot of good players in the top 15 but someone who that team feels is top 10 might fall to them. Again they take that player.
Same same with The Seattle pick, top 5 could fall to 8.
The biggest flaw is the fact you have teams trading their picks before they even know who is available. So no chance that happens at all. The teams will have to know who's available at their pick before trading it and know that a player that value is likely going to be available at that later pick.
