Thread: Devils - Canucks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Devil</b></div><div>This trade would be a big overpayment by the Devils. Gritsyuk is one of the best NHL affiliated prospects in the KHL and is making the Russian Olympic team at the age of 20. Walsh is the Devils best RD prospect, Stillman was a 1st round pick last year and is having a solid season.

Zacha+Foote+2nd would be a trade Devils would be comfortable doing, not anything much more than that</div></div>

Canucks are not necessarily in the market for a top-9 left forward, with Podkolzin, Hoglander, Pettersson, Horvat, Pearson, Motte, Miller (despite the latter two likely getting traded) so Zacha doesn't do it for me personally. I could swap Foote in for Gritsyuk but Garland is worth way more than what you are proposing on his own, and on top of that, I am proposing us taking on Tatar's contract so I would be hoping to get closer to my initial proposal than what you offered.

Thanks for the response though, love hearing feedback.

Thread: Building Off Miller Returns to New York
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Lundkvist came in as a super-hyped Adam Fox-type dman. He's absolutely still young, and absolutely has a solid ceiling, but he's been pretty overwhelmed in his own zone while playing fairly sheltered minutes. Probably has a lot to do with jumping from Euro hockey to the NHL (Only 7 AHL games), but he's got a long way to go at this point.

With Kravtsov, I think you'll see people value him all over the board. He's producing reasonably well in the KHL, but it's not really the same game...I've seen people value him as if he's stil the 9th OA pick, and I've seen people value him like he's Lias Andersson. I honestly think it's somewhere in between.

I guess I just think there's a bit of shine that's worn off those two. They could absolutely both turn into extremely productive NHLers, but I think you can remove a lot of the question marks by changing that pick from 60thish OA to 25-32. At least you'd get the chance to pick your own prospect in case the other two fall off?</div></div>

Really appreciate that insightful write up, I think I misunderstood your initial post as saying Miller is only worth a 1st + one of lundkvist/Schneider but I was trying to argue that he’s probably worth lundkvist/Schneider + kravtsov + a first. Either way I’m intrigued to see how this all turns out for both teams, because when I attempted to do a 2022/23 for the rangers it was a tough situation to navigate.

Thread: Building Off Miller Returns to New York
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>I appreciate the response!

I guess I'd just see it as a loss from Vancouver's perspective...you're giving up a point per game guy that fills a major need in New York, and you're getting back a couple of prospects who have shown some serious warts early (Though they both still have solid ceilings), and a late 2nd. Your first major move as a new GM can absolutely not be a loss, and this has the *potential* to be. I feel like it's just too big of a question mark, I guess.

That being said, you're the Nucks fan, so if you're happy, cheers!</div></div>

Honestly, I initially had the NYR second as a straight first but wasn't absolutely sure on the value at all so I just made it conditional. What do you see as Lundkvist's negatives, because I haven't really seen him play but I know he got NHL time this season and he is a recent first-round pick? Same with Kravtsov, obviously he wasn't happy to be left off the NHL roster this season so he requested a trade and got loaned to the KHL, but aside from that are there gaping holes in his game?
