I feel like a lot of these prices are optimistic.

Duclair MIGHT be able to get a 2nd if a bidding war starts with how teams overpay at the TDL, but for that price it's almost certainly using our final retention slot. I also think if any team's going to give up that price for a rental it's unlikely to be Philly. I know they're in a playoff position but they were not expected to be a playoff team yet so I don't see them spending high picks for rentals.

Barbie for a 2nd is extremely optimistic considering the season he's had. I know there are mitigating circumstances with the broken finger, covid, and how bad the entire team has been, but he hasn't looked good and hasn't put up points. Last season I could've seen it...there was even a mock draft on the Athletic where someone traded their 1st (IIRC it was pick 31 but the pick had been flipped multiple times so I forget who the team was) for him on draft day. This season I think a 3rd is probably the high end with a 4th being more likely.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>If you'd actually watched him play this season with the Sharks, you'd know that he's been excellent even against top competition and has absolutely been a pleasant bright spot this season.

Granlund's legit good. He was God-awful with the Pens, yes, but he's flipped an absolute switch this season.</div></div>

Granny's been good this year but the fact that he was so bad he needed to be sent away largely as a cap dump aspect of a trade likely drives down his trade value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sharcuda22</b></div><div>Yes of course, I was just saying the taxes generally dont matter as much as a teams situation. It is a factor but not a super important one imo. SJ hasn’t had an issue with it in the past and i wouldnt anticipate it in the future. Also using a players nickname when its how the team almost always refers to him is perfectly fine for example Barbie = Barabonov or slippery pete = eklund.</div></div>

I've been calling Eklund "Ni!" I'm sure nobody will know who I'm talking about when I refer to him as that so in discussions I try to refer to him either by his full name or a more common nickname. I heard some people calling him Ekky and started thinking about Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The Knights who Say "Ni" became the Knights who say "Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing." Yes, I'm a nerd.
