<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>-Buffalo has no need to spend a 1st &amp; a 3rd on Muzzin. There's plenty of veteran Ds out there that can give you 80-90% of what Muzzin gives without costing two picks *and* $5.625M of cap. I could see Buffalo thinking about it if you dropped the 1st rounder (3rd for Muzzin?) but I'll let Sabres fans weigh in on that possibility.

-That package seems okay for Fiala but can be beat if another team wants him more. Holl is zero value to Minnesota though, dump him out somewhere else - they already have Dumba, Spurgeon, and Addison ready to play RD. You can probably flip Holl out elsewhere for a 4th.

-I can't see Vancouver doing this kind of move without them already having moved JT Miller out for a ton of picks/prospects. As it stands now, there's not a ton of room in their top 9 when you look at who's already signed/who's still only an RFA this summer.

-Mrazek isn't the type of cap dump Arizona usually takes, his contract is backloaded and actually costs more in salary than his cap hit. I'd look at another, non-cap floor team like Chicago for this deal (but they might bleed you for more in terms of compensation).

-Reimer is probably able to be acquired this summer (unless they move on from Hill or Kahkonen) but as crankshaft said they're tight against the cap this summer and you're going to have to overpay to get some of that retention.

I'd honestly be worried about this team. The 4th line is brutal, that bottom pair is iffy at best, and you're at the cap with only 20 guys - so you're gonna need a lot of guys to either play through injury or spend more time than you'd want on LTIR.</div></div>

No doubt Reimer is available to some degree but his contract is cheap as chips so I don't see the Sharks who have a relatively strong trade record retaining anything unless the return is an overpay.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zettersyukstrom88</b></div><div>I don't know that <em>any</em> of them are <strong>clear</strong> first-round picks. I'm not saying they won't be, but it's not as if all of these players are, without a doubt, first-round selections.

Per rankings from EP, Button, TSN, FCHockey, et cetera:

Bichsel ranges from 25 to 64.
Grudinin from 25 to 66.
Beck from 20 to 46.
Del Bel Belluz from 28 to 75.
Kulich from 14 to 62.
Hutson from 29 to 72.
Trikozov from 8 to 69.


Actually, I would argue that these are borderline first-round players.</div></div>

I watch games, read reports etc. I didn't say all were 1st rounders I said many and I believe I am right,

Almost guarantee that
Kulich
Del Bel Belluz
Bichsel
Trikizov
Grudinin should be a 1st round pick but likely will go early 2nd.
Are all 1st round picks this year. Button is a moron. FC is pretty ridiculous as well. My opinion.
