Thread: Rebuild Over
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ohmyjlord</b></div><div>MTL picks at #5, not #4. And no, they wouldn't trade #5 for two picks outside of the Top-10, including a very late one...unless it came with a nicely wrapped Raymond, Seider or Edvinsson on top.</div></div>

Sorry, I typoed 4. I would take Michkov at 5 though, if I were Montreal. If they don't want Michkov, as in they don't want to wait for a few years, or don't want a winger, or have a thing against Russians, then trading down is not bad. In this proposal, the trade down would likely be for Detroit's 9th overall though, which is fine for Montreal since the talent at 5 is about the same at 9 or even 15. I'm not certain Detroit would trade any additional 1sts, but a 2nd (early 40s) in this year's draft is like a late 1st in other drafts, but I doubt Montreal would go for that. At 9th, Pelikka or Reinbacher are likely there, Moore/Smith/Yager/Leonard at center, or a number of wingers. Whatever position Montrwal wants to address, they can at 9, which is like a top 5 in most other drafts. Any of the guys I just listed would have been top 3 picks in last years draft.

Thread: Upon Further Review
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lancebmx</b></div><div>I wonder if we could move the protection to top 5? That I feel is a reasonable compromise. I don't mind taking Beau, he can provide some value in the future. I do agree that we don't need to be selling more and Ras is the exact type of player we need. It is a pretty good return though and I think if there was a desire to want to move Ras this would really good some weight. There are some intriguing players coming up in next year's draft, some decent RHDs as well. I also think Mazur could also be a future replacement for Ras.</div></div>

No protection. Period. Rasmussen is an NHLer, and a good one who will continue to get better. Anything after top 5 or even top 3 may not make the NHL or may not make any impact for a few years. Rasmussen is performing at top 9 level with a ceiling at top 6. You don't give that away for a lottery ticket.

If you are drafting RHD next year with a pick in the teens, you won't see that player for 3 years at best. Not a good spot for Detroit. Rasmussen for a 2023 1st is really how this thing breaks down. Rasmussen is a top 10 pick himself.

Vancouver still needs to add.
