I'm a little weird, just like everyone else.

Thread: Canucks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Canucker</b></div><div>What more do you think the canucks could add or change. I feel they'd like to hang into the 1st rd this year. But maybe 2 1sts then..or a prospect, maybe juolevi or gadjovich..Lind.. lockwood</div></div>
Don't ask for the 3rd coming back. The rumored price being discussed is:
1) a high-end blue-chip "future core" level prospect (or the pick equivalent), and
2) a good prospect likely to be a decent NHL contributor going forward (or the pick equivalent), and
3) an additional pick as a sweetener (like, a 2nd or so).

The Canucks' 2022 1st might satisfy one of #1 or #2; it kind of depends on where they're expected to finish next year and I'm uncertain there. Schmidt is a nice extra, but he's not really a substitute for the core necessities.

Thread: Philly Fly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Absolutely, and I agree. To an extent. I'm not saying something couldn't be worked out beforehand. But that's up to Jones, not whomever possibly is acquiring him or Jarmo. From everything I've heard, seen, or read, it sounds like Jones wants to test FA once his contract is up. Could that change depending on how trade negotiations go? Sure, absolutely. But it's not a 100% certainty either.

If a contract extension could be worked out beforehand then his value obviously skyrockets if it does. As it stands now, without an extension, it's not that far off... I did say something needed to be added after all. Just not a second potential top-six center or a top 50 prospect.

I wouldn't bat an eye if Patrick was subbed out for Frost instead. And I don’t view Patrick as a reclamation project, his development was delayed because of things out of his control, that doesn't mean he's a bust or something that needs to be fixed. It just means he's behind the projected development curve, at this time. There is still every chance he can still hit his potential at this point.</div></div>
I agree that swapouts for better-fitting assets would probably be the smarter approach. I'm just having trouble pinpointing that because my best sources on Philly's players are all Flyers fans, and there seems to be an active civil war going on between those who appreciate Provorov and think Jones is also good and those who think Provorov is seriously overrated and Jones even moreso, and so getting straight answers is... challenging. :)

Thread: Rumored Cost of Jones
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Make zadorov Ian M’s rights and it’s a deal. Zadorov holds little value and the difference between a top rhd prospect and strome +Murphy expiring contract is massive difference. We’re gonna need a good prospect coming back. Other than that I love the idea.

Jones+ Bemstrom+ Third for Murphy, strome, first, Ian M, 2nd ( if we’re retooling)

Or if we get rienhart, I could see removing strome and adding another top 15 conditional 1st with 2 sliding years.


If Jones agrees to an extension before the trade, would boqvist plus Murphy be something of interest? Or would it have to ne one or the other?</div></div>
I'd insist on Boqvist. Choosing between Boqvist and Mitchell strikes me as being like choosing between Werenski and Gavrikov - sure, they're both (going to be) NHLers, but only one of them is a (future) legit core player. If we have to add something else to get Murphy in the deal, so be it, but downgrading on quality IMO is not the way to do it.
