McKenzie: “…the #2 pick is very much up for grabs…”/The 2OA Thread

[GoldiFox]

i wouldn't call svech an elite goal srorer, but he's a much more better playmaker than laine will ever be.

I don’t think Svechnikov is an elite sniper. Talking pure shot velocity and accuracy (although both are quite good). I think Zadina is closer to meeting that threshold.

Svechnikov is an elite goal scorer like Auston Matthews is. He is a technician in the offensive zone. He has killer instincts which he uses with his size to pick apart defenses and goalies. He’s like a pitcher that doesn’t need to throw a 100 mph fastball to beat batters because his command is elite enough to anticipate and target the soft spots.

That skill set will be on display even more playing with a guy like Aho. Watching those two work magic on the PP will be a treat.

We have to add to ROR for the 2OA?

You probably have to replace ROR with Mittelstadt and add. ROR is too old to be the centerpiece of a #2OA trade.

My thinking was that Carolina is ready to push for the playoffs starting next year as their core is in that age range. ROR is the type of player you want come playoff time. Can shutdown opponents top lines while chipping in offensively.

But if they view Svech as an elite driver of offence than they could look to package Skinner + for the centreman they need

 

[TT1]

this is amazing, so Svechnikov might be available at #3 or we might be able to move up for him?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Hard to say who trades up, Islanders or Flyers maybe.

Skinner/Lindholm + Faulk/Hanifin for the best C they can find. Should have some takers. Keep Svechnikov as a part of the solution.

 

[tsujimoto74]

This really isnt news. Almost every team will listen to an offer for their pick

Pretty much. As a GM, if you aren't listening, you aren't doing your job. As is the case every year, odds a top pick actually gets moved are about nil.

 

[Seachd]

Even Bob McKenzie has to drum up interest for his network and shows.

This is nonsense.

 

[Ace]

Trading top picks is very hard. What is someone going to offer more valuable than paying Svechnikov nothing for three years and having two more before he can even get to arbitration? Under the current cba...if Dahlin and Svechnikov are who everyone thinks they are...you’re signing them to an 8 year contract in three years.

What is someone offering better than those guys for 11 years?

 

[LakeLivin]

Fire bergevin, let canes sign him as GM, offer Weber.
That's about the only way to get that 2OA.

lol, you forgot to add this:

 

[bluedevil58]

Hanafan
#2 OVERALL PICK

FOR

Auston Matthew's

After this playoff series Auston needs a change of scenery. He simplymdoesnt a bow up come playoff time.

 

[Not Sure]

Reinhart and 32? Is Reinhart still considered a center or is he looked at as a winger around the league?

 

[theghost1]

Draisaitl for Skinner and #2 overall pick.

 

[bluedevil58]

Draisaitl for Skinner and #2 overall pick.

Sold!

 

[A Pointed Stick]

If the Islanders offered a sign and trade for Tavares what other pieces from both sides would make this work?

 

[QJL]

Possible Rangers offers with the 3 centers I’d considerin this deal. Chytil is untouchable

Lias Andersson + 9 overall + 39 overall

Mika Zibanejad + 26ish overall + 39 overall

Kevin Hayes + Ryan Spooner + 9 overall

 

[GoldiFox]

If the Islanders offered a sign and trade for Tavares what other pieces from both sides would make this work?

Barzal is one of the few pieces in the league I’d move #2 for. JT is a Free Agent. If he is willing to sign with the Canes then they will just sign him on July 1.

 

[Ambisextrous]

2 overall for sens 1st in 2019. Lets gamble boys

 

[Chainshot]

I'm surprised this would be a "thing" since as a casual observer, the Canes could use a Svechnikov/Zadina type to complement Necas/Aho in the middle and they already have the defense so many teams covet.

 

[Not Sure]

Sens don't have a first in 2019, let that sink in a minute.

 

[Cor]

Ah, the annual “this top 5 Pick might be traded.... oh wait it wasn’t” story.

Didn’t even wait for the playoffs to end this year. Impressive

Yeah avs do. Roll the dice

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Omg how could I say no that. The higher the round the better.

I'll even throw in Ottawa's 2nd rounder. That's two 2nd rounders for the 1st rounder. And if I can learn you some math, 1 x 2 = 2. So mathematically, each 2nd is worth twice as much as that 1st. So you're really getting four times the value. We're getting hosed here. You'd be an idiot to say no.
