Value of: 2018 1st overall pick: What would your team be willing to give up?

[ManofSteel55]

I call and ask what we would need to add to our 1st to get it done. As long as the answer isn't McDavid, I'd likely do it.

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

If Buffalo gets the 1st op (which will never happen), The only trade I could see making is to AZ if they'd trade OEL and there top 5 pick.

So if AZ offered something around

1st op
2019 2nd
Wilds 2018 3rd
Bogoasian

For

OEL (after Buffalo talks extension)
Top 5 pick.

I'd do it

 

[COHawk]

Brent Seabrook, Marian Hossa, Patrick Sharp, and Quenneveille's mustache.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Karl Alzner and a conditional 6th round pick

This takes the cake, As the worst proposal yet. Love the here.

 

[Bood12]

I can totally see Snow making an offer of Ho-Sang and the Islanders 2 1st rounders if the Islanders are not going to win it

 

[jboknows]

There are a boatload of nothing offers here, that don't even come close to getting 1st overall in any year, let alone this year with Dahlin. Any offer, would have to be something that pretty much everyone agrees is an insane overpayment. Example: Det would probably have to offer up Larkin, Mantha and their high-end 1st in 2018 (Top 6) to get the other team thinking deal, and even then probably doesn't get it done.

A boatload of nothing offers?
-Offer of Draisaitl & 1st
-Offer of Horvat & 1st
-Offer of Nylander, Liljigren, 1st & Sparks

 

[jboknows]

1st
Nylander

I don't think I could go for much more then that.

I mean what happens if he busts?

Because of how low that pick will be, that's pretty far off from what I think is fair value. I think the Leaf offer of Nylander, Liljigren, 1st and Sparks is probably more accurate (not that I'd ever do this deal)

Exactly! What GM in their right mind gives up first overall on a player with the hype of Dahlin, for Draisaitl and a 1st (and that is one of the better offers in this thread)(doesn't even move the needle of interest at all), answer is none! Heck, even in a weak draft like a Yakupov draft, the 1st overall doesn't and didn't get traded.

 

[Richards18Forever]

Philly offers Amac, Manning, Filpula, Weise, Lehtera, Marazek, and a 7th round pick

 

[slg1963]

NYR - 3 1st round picks

 

[almostawake]

Here's the last 5 first round picks: Hischier, Matthews, McDavid, Ekblad, MacKinnon.

Does Dahlin belong in that group? Or the three before that: Yakupov, RNH, Hall.

If my team's scouts were certain Dahlin could have a long prime at the level of guys like Niedermayer, Keith or Doughty, I'd be all in.

Trouba and Connor could be a starting point. If scouts were 100%, would even consider Laine, as painful as that would be.

 

[Brian McDavid]

Only team that I could see even thinking about doing this is Edmonton. Would a Pacioretty (top line winger for McDavid) and a potentially top 5 pick (still get a great prospect) be enough to do it?

Entire fan base says no, Chia says sure.

 

[bsu]

I personally would NOT be willing to give up Horvat.

Good one.

2018 1st overall pick: What would your team be willing to give up?

With Dahlin slated to go #1, we're talking about a guy with Connor McDavid/Auston Matthews pedigree and hype.

What would your team be willing to give up in order to acquire the 1st overall of 2018?

Simmonds + Both 1st Rd Picks + Morin or Myers + a pretty please to take MacDonald as well

 

[CupofOil]

A lot of the proposals in here are a joke. You're talking about 3 ELC years and 7 years of team control of a player with near McDavid level hype. It's going to have to be a proposal that hurts, hurts a lot.
From the Oilers, it would be something like Draisaitl+2018 1st at minimum and I'm not willing to do that personally.

 

[TGWL]

So a second line center or a franchise D man.....

It's not even about value compared to a franchise D-man. It's about losing that important piece on a risk that would make people hesitate. If it bombs, it goes really bad for the team.

 

[aqsw]

Trouba and our first (if we own it)

 

[Nuke]

Risto + Sabres 1st if they lose the lottery.

 

[brock0791]

One of Trouba or Ehlers depending on what your needs are + a 1st or any young player not named Connor/Roslo/Morrissey/Vesalainen/Morrissey/Sheif/Hellebucyk

I'd take Drai and the Oilers first for 1OA all day every day. Drai is a proven commodity though his contract isn't great, and their pick could be 2OA. The Dahlin hype is beyond insane.

Lol ... no one knows since no one here is a GM.

 

[JustJokinenAround]

From Edmonton, Everything and anything not named Mcdavid, with Mcdavid/Dahlin you can pretty much just plug in mediocre throughout and still compete

Though Drai + our top 10 pick probably gets the convo started. Most Oiler fans would say no, but I’d do it in a heart beat

Well Edmonton is going to win the lottery obviously so why bother discussing what you need to give up.

 

[Lemontree]

Jake Gardiner (entering into UFA year - should be able to flip for a 1st rounder at next years trade deadline)
William Nylander
Timothy Liljegren
2018 1st round pick (Leafs)
2019 2nd round pick (Leafs)

 

[poolparty98]

Dahlin is one of the best if the the best defensive prospect ever.

This yrs draft could be a real game changer for any franchise that wins. First real superstar since Mcdavid draft.

 

[Smartguy]

It’s funny you say that, because the exact lottery system that was redesigned, practically because of the oilers, is designed to reward them at current state. Which is a bottom feeding team that is currently winning games still and not intentionally tanking,outside of last night obviously, but I think they were 7-2-1 in there last 10.
