I could see a three way deal with sending that 1st round pick to Montreal

 

[Vitto79]

Oh come on

 

[McDonald19]

The 33 year old 20 point scorer? What?

I could see a three way deal with sending that 1st round pick to Montreal

hahahaha. That was good!

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

The draft must be really, really bad this year if teams are seriously considering a first rounder for Nic Dowd. I'm not sure he's worth a first if you could retain 100% of his salary.

 

[rypper]

Shades of GMs drunk on Paul Gaustad.

 

[Jared Dunn]

If that's the market for cheap quality 4Cs welcome to the trade block Jake Evans

 

[BLNY]

I mean, if suddenly all the cars in the world are gone except one 1992 Sunbird, it all comes down to how desperate you are to get from A to B.

 

[canuckking1]

Frank got the Monahan for a 1st right and is now losing his mind

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Oh oh oh. Do Jarnkrok , do Jarnkrok. I want a first too.

hahahaha. That was good!

Cheers buddy

There were/are a lot of contending teams who need center depth. That's more likely the reason than the draft.

 

[SI90]

This deadline is drunk

 

[BKarchitect]

Not even Montreal fans would have the guts to insist on a first for Dowd if he was on their team

Good bottom sixer, should definitely net the Caps a pick…but…

You could probably convert a decent winger to center and end up with something closer to first round value than Nic Dowd.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Oh Frank

 

[JAK]

Watch the Canucks get him too

 

[kanucks25]

I didn't think Monahan would get a 1st and was wrong but I'd put money on this not happening.

A 2nd + 4th maybe I could see.

 

[Alex K]

If that's the market for bottom-6 centers, goodbye Scott Laughton

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

If that's the market for cheap quality 4Cs welcome to the trade block Jake Evans

Not even remotely comparable...

Also a huge driving factor here for Dowd getting a 1st would be the fact that with 50% retention he'd only carry a $650k cap hit. That means getting your 4C for next year for $150k less than league minimum.


Evans even at 50% retention is still more than the $800k league minimum next year.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Goodrow is a comp, if the contract was made attractive enough. The Sharks did send back a 3rd in that deal. It wasn't a 1st outright.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Can he get a 1st with retention? I seriously Dowd it.

(in the nic of time too)

 

[Mrfenn92]

Seems like a no brainer for Washington

 

[dirtydanglez]

the only team that's got the balls to do that is tampa
