Dreger: Dumba & Brodin asking price is No.1 Center

[Sota Popinski]

Matthews is a 2C.
What is the strong plus?

Bracco!

 

[LokiDog]

Is it just me or is neither of those guys worth a legitimate 1C? A 2C with a healthy plus? Still don’t know if I see it. They’re each probably on a par for a 2C, minimal additions to either side.

 

[yianik]

Yeah neither of those 2 get a 1C. I think Domi for Dumba is around fair value as Domi can be a 2C,

 

[Master P]

Drouin

 

[SFKingshomer]

Wild will have to draft or trade for a prospect with potential to be a #1. Their only other option is a reclamation project and hope they get lucky like with Staal.

 

[Piffle]

I am willing to trade my mother-in-law and my pet rock Murphy for Jessica Biel.

Will settle for Jessica Alba.

 

[Seachd]

Well, dream big and aim high I guess, but I wouldn't suppose either one is worth close to a #1 centre.

 

[nickschultzfan]

I feel like I am stating the obvious but a tier 1 prospect who is future 1C would also get the Wild listening, not just a current 1C. But that offer would come with some pluses.

 

[SupremeNachos]

Tl;Dr Wild won't give up either unless there is a significant over payment so the point is moot.

 

[AKL]

I am willing to trade my mother-in-law and my pet rock Murphy for Jessica Biel.

Will settle for Jessica Alba.

That’s a really weird angle considering Alba>Biel

 

[slimbob8]

A true #1C is the hardest position to find in hockey. No chance either of those two fetch one in return. High end 2C maybe, but not a true #1C.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Something like 2016 Zibanejad would suffice just fine too I think.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

I think he means together they get packaged for a 1C?

That's how I took it too.

 

[Leafs87]

Dumba maybe a stupid case can be made by some. Brodin for a number 1 C? Lol Guerin is new and all but come on

 

[Bazeek]

This thread reads like every thread for a leaked opening ask in an RFA negotiation.

 

[Iggys Dome]

hahahahahahaha

 

[Eye Test]

There is a pretty damn wide range in what a 1C is around the league.

Ya lol...”kotkanemi”

 

[34]

Keep dreaming. Neither of them are worth anything close to a #1 C. What a joke.

 

[redwings25]

they prolly wont get a 70+ point 1c for either but the don't have to trade either. they need a 1c and that's about it, mine as well hold out for 1 or hang on to there teams strength. there dmen

 

[AKL]

I wish there was an easy way to explain to people who don't care to be informed about what the situation is here

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I'm sure Buffalo has to have another locker room cancer #1C laying around somewhere.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

I think he means together they get packaged for a 1C?

I think this is the correct take, I also think it's still not worth it.

 

[57special]

Sounds like a made up thing to get attention.

 

[John Eichel da GOAT]

LOL #1C, the most valuable position in hockey. Right...

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Yeah the type of "no.1 center" you're getting is Derek stepan then.

Gewd lach
