Value of: If Edmonton ends up with a top 2 pick

Your probably gonna get offered 3rd liners or UFAs lol.


Only way we move a top 2 pick is if we get an established young top pair d or top line forward with high potential (23 or younger). In other words, not gonna happen.

Theres some real good looking players in the draft this year. And given how hard it is to move salary (ie. Lucic, Manning, Sekera etc.) our best bet might be grabbing one of these top forwards. Not to mention the expansion draft upcoming. I'm not saying don't add quality players that can impact the team now because of the expansion draft, but with one looming, it's something you need to consider. Unless one team is willing to take cap back without sacrificing the value of the pick, I think you gotta hold onto it. Plus we don't have a GM yet and likely won't until closer to the draft. Don't exactly want to see the Old Boys Clubs fire off assets (1st and 2nd for Reinhart) again when the new scape goat comes in

for the 2OA? Weber if we were rebuilding.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Kyle Connor and Trouba for 3OA or lower and Nurse

Not even a consideration from Edmonton

 

[780il]

Kyle Connor and Trouba for 30a or lower and Nurse

Don't want Jacob mr I'm gonna run away to the U.S Trouba

Also can't afford to give up Nurse

No

 

[BatVader]

I’d offer nothing but my deepest sympathies to the poor soul Edmonton picks at 1st-6th OA

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Columbus will trade us Seth Jones.

So you prefer sucking forever??

Weber is old and signed till he's 50..

I prefer not to trade the 2nd overall pick for a 33/34 year old dman signed forever.

Lol dude no one is anchoring themselves to that Weber contract, least of all us. Wouldn’t take him for free. The long term pain is not worth the short term gain.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Vancouver would probably be all over it (if it's 1st OA), try to unite the Hughes brothers and re-live the Sedin era.

They got some real nice young players over there that would look reeeal good on McDavid's wing

What? Lol
Weber isnt close to an anchor. Hes a legit #1 and for what he does is underpaid. Hes a beast who shows no signs of slowing down no matter what HF wants to believe.

Sure 33 is really old.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

What do you think about the GhostBear?

I’m sure that’s why he missed most of last season and half of this season. He’s the very picture of health.

We’re not signing up to pay him that deal in his declining years, of which there are a ton left. Hard pass.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Just take the pick. And maybe develop the kid properly like a professional sports franchise would.

No one is going to pay what you want for the pick. I literally saw Seth Jones name in this thread. Put the pipe down.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

You make the pick or trade down to get a guy like Dach + a nice adder.

 

[780il]

Gostisbehere isn't even a consideration for the #2 pick lol.

Ivan Provorov is the guy we'd want. And I completely understand why you wouldnt trade him.

No one is trading a top 3 pick for a senior citizen.

I understand if you wouldn’t want to trade a 2nd overall for a player about to enter his mid 30’s, but Weber’s worth every penny and his contract isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. He’d instantly fix your D like he did ours, and let’s be honest, your team doesn’t want to do a full rebuild again after 10 years, they want to find a way to compete now while McDavid is in his prime production wise. I know the poster was really aggressive above but doesn’t give you a right either to start throwing crap on our players.
