Simple: Would you have given up our first round pick in order for Vegas to not take Marchessault?

Without knowing much about the prospects and their potential to be a more than 40 scorer and whether or not we already know about it...hard to say.
As of now I protect the proven 30 guy. I'm still baffled how many don't.
Thankfully Demers actually a good chance Marchessault won't be taken anyway! Or ****, after picking a bunch of exposed talent at high price, are they about to max the cap?
So much pissing in the wind going on here. I feel like sticking with the guy who obviously proved himself, but again I don't know if there are prospects guaranteed to do what March just finishing doing and to fall to the 10th. Nor do I think anyone else does either. Making my pick against the grain, and though I'm admitting ignorance on the prospects doesn't mean my instinct is necessarily wrong.
I think 95% of board wanted him protected.
Unless you're talking about giving up a 1st, then it is an easy no.
Absolutely.
Might as well ask, does anyone know if there are prospects tailor made for our 10th to be a solid guaranteed at least 20, hell with 30, goal guy? Cuz if not...then absolutely not.
No guarantee Marchessault hits 30 again. Probably doesn't. But should be good for about 20, which is worth protecting imo! Will be a UFA after this year, so a potential big raise. Draft pick will be cost controlled for many years. Unless we go all Ekblad with the pick!
Or considering management decided to expose Marchessault, they will probably draft Crouse part 2. So yeah, maybe we should give up our first to protect Marchessault!
Mavs, waiting on yer explanation for the vote, for I'll never hide how I always heavily consider your reasoning.
Absolutely would give up a crapshoot at #10 in what is widely regarded as a weak draft for a known quantity in Marchessault.
Agree with 1,2I dont view Marchessault as a top-line player.
He has a great shot, but his hockey sense is lacking which is the main reason he shouldnt be viewed as a top-liner.
If you watch him, he was a step behind of play instead of being ahead, or at best, he was an "in-the-moment" player.
For a top liner, one that you would give up a relatively high 1st-rounder for, you'd like someone that can be ahead of player, especially for someone who is not that fast.
It's a cap move.
