Thread: If he is on the list
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Overpayment? Nothing in that deal, but Lilly and the 1st and Lilly has proven nothing, yet. Brodie is a cap dump and Hirvonen is a B prospect</div></div>

Brodie is worth more than a cap dump - has been Leafs number one D man for years.

Sandin was just traded for a first. One can assume that Liligren's market value is at least that - even though he is much more proven at NHL level.

Robertson and Hirvonen have high ceilings but have not proven anything. Probably better to hold on to them, but probably worth a late 2nd or early 3rd each.

So overall you are giving up:
1st round pick
1st round equivalent (Liligren)
Two 3rd rounders (modest)
Brodie (most reliable defenceman)

Thats a large return for a career high 60 point guy that wants $9M.

Thread: Best Prospect Pool In the League
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheRealKyleDavidson</b></div><div>28th pick to 67 is only moving down one round basically.

Also no way in hell is the cap going up 3-6 million. That was never reported and if it was to go up it would be 1 million each year. Even at that there are reports that the cap may actually not go up at all this year.

So you really wont to take on a 2 million dollar cap hit instead of moving back a round?</div></div>

Man you said it so confidently too - cap is absolutley not going up $1m a year after next.

Also "moving down a round" is a very dumb argument. Moving from 1st overall to 32nd is a lot different from moving from a 6th to a 7th.
In this case moving from a late first to an early third is a pretty large drop off in value.
