[Play]

A for fun type thread, with Centers getting a bit of a premium this years deadline and contenders are looking to add a center, hypothetically what would a prime R.J. Umburger get at this years deadline at let’s say 4.5 million cap for 2 more years

I would say 2 firsts at least

I’d say a 1st. There was a time where he was more highly regarded than Kesler. In fact, a lot of Canucks fans wanted Umberger over Kesler.

Those two have had some great feuds , Kesler vs Backes was also fun

Why 2 1sts?

He went for a 1st and 3rd back in his prime after a 50 point season and 10 goals, 15 points in 17 playoff games. Could maybe squeeze a GM for a bit more but doubt it would be anything crazy

If you’re set to play the Habs in the playoffs, you’d be justified trading five 1sts for him.

How many recent trades involved 2 1sts going 1 way? I can think of Jones and Hagel off the top on my head

 

[FlameChampion]

Probably not as much as a Prime Gretzky or Lemieux.

R.J. At 4.5 definitely has Hagel value

This was carefully selected to match the timing of the deadline, we do one every year during deadline.

we’ll consider goalies next year but can’t promise anything as it depends on market

Was gonna say, what a weird player to revisit. Idk OP, no playoff team ever said “man, if only we had RJ Umberger.” Sorry if you are RJ Umberger.

It's crazy how Umberger scoring 8 goals in 5 games still wasn't the most goals scored in a series in that playoff year alone. Franzen and his 9 goals in 4 games, oof.
