<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>I feel like this post only really works for forwards. For example a Dman like Jake Sanderson is a guy who will provide a tremendous amount of value to the team, though he will probably never put up noteworthy point totals, so measuring his value with points isn't very accurate. So for comparable NHL players if Brannstrom and Sanderson hit their absolute ceilings, I would say Brannstrom is a Torey Krug type, and Sanderson is a Ryan Suter. They obviously might not reach those heights, but in terms of play style and upside those are the comparisons I like.

As far as Formenton, I didn't include him, because I don't think there's much difference between his floor and his ceiling. I think his floor is a 3rd liner Wing who gives 30 something points and 12-15 goals while being a key PK guy, and his ceiling is a really good 3rd line winger like Kapanen, who can potentially give you 15-20+ goals and 40ish points, and can move into the top six in a pinch. I don't think he has upside as an everyday top six guy, but I also doubt he will be limited to a 4th line job given his skillset.

Stuetzle, I legitimately have no read on how high this guy can go. I think his skill is so high, I can't really see him busting. I think his lower end would be similar to fellow 3rd overall pick Jonathan Drouin, as a guy who can give 40-50 points, but is pretty underwhelming given the hype and pedigree. His upside i think is absolutely sky high, and I don't think I'm capable of measuring it objectively. I think he has Hart Trophy upside, even though it's obviously <strong>waay</strong> to early to be saying stuff like that.</div></div>

ur pretty knowledgable, do u have a hockey insta account? If u don't u should definitely start one

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MelonVK</b></div><div>Jesus christ the value of especially Cirelli, but also Cernak is very, very high. Even Killorn is a huge plus in terms of contract value. Johnson and Gourde - the more reasonable players to move, aren't even real burdens for their cap hit either, although Johnson might be +/- 0 at this point. You're just giving away assets for free here. I don't know if Svechnikovs value sky rocketed after his younger brother became a star or something, but Evgeny hasn't proven anything on the NHL level. This is a disaster, and an unmitigated one at that.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangsey</b></div><div>If you're shipping these guys out you can shop them for more than this. cap crunch or no they'll still get more. Habs paid a 5th for Edmunson's ufa rights people will pay way more for Cernak's rfa rights.</div></div>

Teams will not want to pay fair value for these players because they do not want to help them and make them better. I could maybe see Detroit adding two seconds instead of one for cirelli, but killorn is a cap dumb despite a decent, and cernak is sweetner.
