<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>uhh...
Vaakaninen 1st rd pick 21 years old
Debrusk1st rd pick 24 years old
Beecher 1st rd pick 19 years old
Grzelcyk Top 4 D man under contract 27 years old
1st rd pick.
Vladar 23 year old solid goalie prospect.

It is literally all picks and prospects with the exception of a guy almost as good as Eckholm.</div></div>

NSH has Saros, Ingram, and Askarov so they have no need or want for Vladar -- he adds no value.

The whole point of an Ekholm trade would be to get prospects/picks, not another defenseman that will need expansion draft protection -- so Grz isn't the right piec for NSH.

Debrusk + Vaak are nice pieces, but if those are the big pieces in a Forsberg <em>and</em> Ekholm trade (<em>and</em> Haula retained too), then that's a really poor trade by Poile. I'm not that high on Beecher.

That 1st rounder will be a late one if this team is able to add players like Forsberg and Ekholm.

Ultimately, this just isn't enough and not the right pieces for NSH.

I think the basic structure of a trade for the NSH players you're targeting would be more in line with...
Forsberg --&gt; 1st + 3rd + A prospect (could even consider another add, he'll be expensive)
Ekholm --&gt; 1st + B prospect + C prospect
Haula retained, emphasis on <em>retained</em> --&gt; 2nd -- otherwise, a 3rd.

Thread: whos Seattle taking
SEA will take Weber if you expose him... It's not like he's disappointed expectations, he's been roughly on the same point production his whole career. They'd immediately cement their veteran presence and captaincy. Also, cap won't be an issue for SEA upon entry. I think people are overthinking his salary. The term is not ideal (that's NSH's problem), but 7.8M is not that bad. I feel like people think 5M+ is considered a lot, without considering the exponential factor of higher salary. There's a hell of a difference between say Weber's cap hit and Doughty's cap hit at 11M. You totally draft Weber, even if you think he'll regress after one season.

I'd agree Evans is currently playing his way to protection. But then, I would think Lehkonen would become the most attractive pick for SEA
