Yeah, I think Brodin has some pretty good value around the league. Agree on Scandella... as I'm sure you know, i am still really pissed about that trade. Watching Ennis and Foligno fumble the puck night after night is killing me.
Tom Wilson is the easy answer for Capitals.
Judging on any of the 100 topics he has gotten here, his valued close to nothing in other fanbases. In fact couple franchises would throw up just for the idea of having to take him. What he brings for our team is way beyond than your average 16th overall pick, that has gotten lot of "wasted pick" comments. I would be devastated to see him leave for anything that wasnt an abnormal overpayment.
Brooks Orpik is the suprise answer for Capitals.
With his big negative value it just isnt anywhere close to being worth it to trade him out. His caphit is a killer, but we keep on surviving it just fine. He also isnt the liability that he is called out for. Guy is actually still a solid defencive dman, just a little too much ice time is forced on his shoulders. For me it would be just unbearable to give 1st + to get rid of his on- and especially off-ice effect for our youngish D. The anti-Orpik crew should quit the whining, this guy is still good for us. Lets view back onto this next summer.
Bubbling Under : Grubauer. As goalie market has inflated, no reason to trade out one of the best backups in the league. Plan B between the posts sound alot better right now than an iffy pick or prospect.
Still would be on pace for 20 plus goals even if you took away all his empty net goals (which wouldn't be fair cause the guy creates them on his own pretty much ) with zero pp time and tremendous pk'er . Does so many things but I can understand why his past teams fans are a little saltyall the empty net goals for michael grabner
I'm just curious, how many players in the league fit into this category.
Basically, their trade value isn't high, meaning you wouldn't get alot of assets for them.
But they're value is extremely high to your team, which is why you wouldn't trade them unless for over-payment.
Lets shine the light on some unsung heroes in the league.
For the Leafs, i would say Ron Hainsey fits this category.
For the Oilers, i would say Jujhar Khaira.
Could a team pry away Khaira from the oilers with a 2nd round pick or let's say Late 1st Round pick. (E.g. Pens offer 1st)?For real? It'd be Sekera or RNH. Those two are valuable to the Oilers. Khaira is doing good now, but he hasn't reached the "I'm more valuable than you realized" yet.
I mean if we're gonna be literal with it, empty netters have much less effect on the expected outcome of the game and thus are less important.6 out of 14 is certainly all. And goals are goals, empty netters are just as important to put the game away.

man i really envy grabner’s success with this struggling isles offenseStill would be on pace for 20 plus goals even if you took away all his empty net goals (which wouldn't be fair cause the guy creates them on his own pretty much ) with zero pp time and tremendous pk'er .

That Pk could sure use his helpman i really envy grabner’s success with this struggling isles offense
How's your PK doing?
was doing fine until kulemin got injured, once guys adjust we should be fine. thanks for inquiring.That Pk could sure use his help
Well i wouldn't say 3 times but we all know that Patches >JVR so that is why he would get more.That was half my point as well (fully agreed). For some reason, Patches would get close to 2X-3X more than JVR with only a year more on his deal on these boards, yet he is arguably even more flawed than the latter.

This is why I thought he fits in the category.
Colorado: JT Compher.
I mean I'm sure he has solid trade value, but his points so far don't really do him justice for how good he is. Incredibly smart, fastest player on the team after Mackinnon, great in the defensive zone, great on the PK, great shot. I'm sure Compher has the trade value equal to what he is right now as a player but the thing with Compher is that he has no ceiling. There are no holes in his game. Because of that his trade value isn't worth what he could potentially become for Colorado.
