Either I'm missing something or this is not a good trade??? Is there something with Dvorak that's not out there??

 

[RABBIT]

Choice of the first is nice

 

[Grimes]

thanks, I hate it.

 

[XX]

thanks, I hate it.

What, you don't like Johan Larsson being your 2C right now? Are you not ready for the challenge?

 

[TheLegend]

So…. the best of the two firsts (top 10 lottery protected) plus a second in ‘24.

 

[Grimes]

What, you don't like Johan Larsson being your 2C right now? Are you not ready for the challenge?

Lol. Or maybe we sign Brad Richardson. I really hope we start moving some of these picks for some roster players. Are we giving spots to Jenik and Hayton now?

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Yeah I definitely feel like we should’ve gotten more. This one just makes me sad too, Dvo’s a player I like watching quite a bit. But I guess if you’re gonna be bad, be historically bad

 

[XX]

Melting Dvorak down into a mid round 1st makes no goddamn sense as of right now and is, pending other trades, BA's worst move to date.

 

[0point1]

Yuck very disappointed

 

[RABBIT]

Oh wow the picture lottery protected? I hate this deal a lot more

 

[XX]

This is really bad if they do nothing else or sign some warm body to take his place. Like "Jacob Chychrun's agent is on line 1 Bill" bad.

 

[Foggy1097]

Yeah, I guess we’ll see on this one…I figured they could have at least gotten one decent prospect thrown in there, even if they switched the 2nd round pick to a 3rd…

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Like I know this draft is supposed to be deep but it’s just really hard to get excited about trading our best center for a hypothetical player that *at best* we won’t see for 3-4 years

Of course BA’s plan could be to consolidate all these picks and turn them into a legit player down the road, but for now I’m just kinda depressed

 

[Grimes]

We aren't winning any lottos so I guess BA loves someone in the 3-5 range.

 

[TheLegend]

 

[XX]

This is a very demoralizing move for a room that didn't need any more of them.

 

[LuckyNumber11]

It also just sucks that of all our players, we still have Schmaltz and Keller.

 

[Heldig]

Meh.

Don't like the lottery protection. Dont like the compensation regarding lottery protection.

Who the **** is going to play C on this squad? Why the **** has GM trade the 2 best forwards on the roster?

We took no salary back. We got a pick in the teens and a future 2nd. Hopefully we can weaponize this newfound budget and capspace and go get another asset now.

 

[Dead Coyote]

f***ing hate this so much. Not only my favorite player but come on, MTL is desperate for a center and there's a bidding war for Dvorak and THIS is the best we can do?

 

[Jamieh]

It also just sucks that of all our players, we still have Schmaltz and Keller.

Personally I think both have zero value at best.

 

[Heldig]

It also just sucks that of all our players, we still have Schmaltz and Keller.

You have to worry Chychrun is talking to his agent about now.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

This is the kind of move that should prompt a letter to the fans from Meruelo, like we get it is a scorched earth rebuild but what the hell is the point of watching this season

Who has a top 6 C they are looking to dump for pennies on the dollar?
