Thread: Trade deadline trade with Anaheim
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>"This is going to be a similar trade to the Hall trade -- a cap dump and a 2nd for an UFA."</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>Hall had a full no trade clause, he was able to choose his team and the only team he would accept a trade to was Boston.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Minnachu</b></div><div>Hall who played better than Klingberg in 2020 was traded IN DIVISION RETAINED with another piece for a cap dump and a 2nd.</div></div>

I feel like I'm missing something. When was Hall moved for a cap dump and a 2nd? Becuase if we're referencing Bjork I don't think that's comparable to Zaitsev at all.

Thread: i like lundkvist but idk what the cost is
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>busters99</b></div><div>I like Ostapchuk, moves well, and he would be a good addition to the NYR prospect pool. We have prospect wingers ready to make the roster in 2023 setting up for a roster crunch, so I don't think he would move Drury to make this trade. The NYR has good center depth at the NHL level, but we could use a younger prospect. I am starting to doubt that the Habs are really interested, there are rumors that they are only interested if Lundkvist is practically given to them. Nils was the team's number one prospect heading into last year by many accounts, so I doubt that will happen.</div></div>

Ostapchuk does play centre so there is a chance that he could stay there as he goes pro, just my personal opinion that he projects as a winger. Honestly I’m not convinced Ottawa would be interested either in Lundqvist either, I think he’s a great prospect and ny shouldn’t be giving him away by any means. I would think he carries more value than Ostapchuk, maybe the fact that Ottawa not looking to move Zack and he’s a little younger evens it out but as long as Drury doesn’t settle or rush it Im sure everything will work out fine.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>busters99</b></div><div>Is Ostapchuk a Center or LW? How do see his upside?</div></div>

More of a winger than a centre but he has decent upside. Huge body, very physical. Was a high 2nd round pick last year and almost made the team out of camp as he was one of the last cuts. Had a decent year back in junior but absolutely torched the WHL in the playoffs and parlayed that into a bottom 6 energy role on team Canada at the WJC. This season will be telling for his upside but expect a big year in the WHL again and a bigger role for Canada at the WJC.

I see him as a quintessential 3LW. Huge body, very physical, soft hands, good shot.. hopefully he can be a 15-20 goal, 30-40 point energy guy in the league.
