Value of: #2 Center at the deadline

[HockeyGuruPitka]

So if you are a contending team looking for depth down the middle and a player with the following description is available to be had in a trade, what would that players worth be?

This is a rental player. UFA at years end

#2C (two way player that can play PP and PK)
6'1 200lbs
60gp 13g 23A 36P

Depends on age and contract situation. Assuming it's a rental, maybe a 2nd

Well considering you are talking about Bozak, basically nothing because he wouldn't even be our 4th line center.

Should easily land a 2nd as a base - but then the contract and age can change things after that.

Bozak had 35 in 57 I believe.

Is this another Tyler Bozak trade thread?

1st round pick + Dahlbeck


The 'mystery' player is clearly Vermette before the Chicago trade, not Bozak. Cmon boys

That's what I was thinking

He had 35 in 63 though


I think it's Bozak at next year's TDL that he's talking about.

 

[Mr Misty]

I'd like some confirmation that it is Bozak so I know to apply my anti-Leaf bias please

not talking about any specific player. just a hypothetical situation. However it seems that most people are not interested in actually discussing this thread topic.

 

[WhatWhat]

If a team needs a 2C this seems like the staple late first. I think it's an overpayment but that tends to happen at the deadline

 

[Sweetpotato]

2nd+2nd

Probably because discussing hypothetical mystery center A is no good if all you have is size and point totals for one year to discuss.

Probably a high second or pair of seconds. Maybe even a low first round pick. It depends on whether or not the acquiring team can see the centre being able to fill as a top line centre if something happens as well as if they could be comfortable moving down into the 3rd line if a team is deep enough. It also depends on what type of other assets the acquiring team would be willing to move in terms of prospects or young players which could bring the price down in terms of picks.

In the case of a centre that could fill in as a first line type centre but work well in the 2nd and 3rd lines I could see a first round pick being paid especially if the cap hit was good.

 

[RibFrabcus]

2 2nd and Saarela if he's 6'4

 

[voxel]

Depends on +/- too... if this player is constantly -30.... well maybe a 4th as an injury filler.

If he's +15 before the deadline playing tough minutes then a 1st+

 

[Weltschmerz]

That kind of player is probably worth way less than 4 or 5 years ago, when many teams were desperate for center depth.
So many great young centers draftet over the last few years.

Probably, for many posters, it's because if you don't tell them the player they can't **** on the player, you and your entire fan base.

For others, it's because who the player is allows them to breakdown more statistics and their own view of the player to make assessment.

Anyways, for me, I would need more information...
what is his faceoff percentage?
36 points. Over the past 3 seasons has he averaged a 48 point scoring pace?
How many points on the PP?
Did he just get off an injury (missing 22 games in one season is fairly significant) or is he injury prone?
The most important question... what is his history in past playoff performances?

 

[KingTux]

If its Bozak, a 4th.
If its another player, a 3th

huehehuee

Bozak is a "two way player", right..
