thewookie1 Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Well that's a start I guess; moves down a hair and picks up a 2nd. More assets to use in another deal. 1 1 1 Quote

shrader Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 I’m surprised that both teams don’t let the board shake out a bit before making this deal. 2 4 Quote

This is definitely a precursor trade; we have plans to make another deal but are looking to stretch are assets as much as possible. Let's say Winnipeg wants a mid 1st for Ehlers; no reason we'd need to give them 11. 14 is more mid 1st. I could even see us deal further down and collect more 2nds in order to use those extras to make a separate trade. 1 2 Quote
dudacek Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Like most moves the “why” matters. Right now this is neither good, nor bad, on its own. Value is fine. What does this set up? Anything? Getting an extra prospect means nothing to me. 3 1 1 Quote

Thorner Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 I am the “trade down makes sense” guy so, there’s that if we don’t trade one of these picks or prospects in the next couple days I’d have to say I hate it, though 4 2 Quote

mjd1001 Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, there may not be a huge difference or much of a difference at all in the quality of the guy you get at 14 compared to 11. But on the other side, why take a chance... A second round pick sounds good, but, with the sabers pipeline the way it is and how long a guy you take in the second round is likely to take to reach the NHL... I don't see that pick.. If it's used... Bringing in a player that will make a significant impact on this team for a very very very long time if at all. Hopefully that second round pick was acquired because you need to use it to trade with another team for an existing player off their roster. 2 1 Quote

I gotta believe (do I?) this is a precursor to something significant upcoming. On it's face, it makes no sense. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Whatever. Adams better do something positive with this collection of “assets.” I would be happy with Brandsegg-Nygard at 14. 3 Quote
French Collection Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 So 14 is where you hope one of the “top 10” drop. You could get an Helenius, Eiserman, Sennecke, Yakemchuk or Brandsegg-Nygard. Or you could reach a bit for Jiricek, Stolberg, Beaudoin. Quote

CallawaySabres Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Any other team in the draft, this is a good trade. Why our idiot would do this now. Makes no sense to me. 4 Quote
