Thread: Landy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Patrick_Rodden</b></div><div>3 First round picks for Landeskog is a HUGE overpayment</div></div>

Ok. I see A LOT of people use this as a basis for not trading for certain players. Once a player is drafted, he is a player. He is not still a draft pick. If we're going to be consistent then isn't this 3 first round picks for a 2nd overall pick? I mean, Gabrielle is a 4th round pick.... Does he carry the value of that? No. Does Brandon Carlo carry the value of what a 2nd round pick (on its own) would fetch a team? No. This deal is consists of a top 9 winger (who when healthy has top 6 potential) who is overpaid for his production (this season). 3 solid prospects, and a 1st round pick. Coming back to Boston would be a legitimate top 6 LW.

But, on the deal itself. No thank you. I understand this is, 'just to show,' how a deal could get done without Carlo/McAvoy, but it's still a gross over-payment. There are plenty of packages that the Bruins could offer that SHOULD be enticing to Colorado that don't involve all that. Whether Sakic wants to take the bait, is a different story. This is just way too much though. Bruins would be better off trading Carlo if this is the price without him.
