Value of: Johnny Gaudreau to NYR

[Mikeaveli]

If hockey was a sport that had zero contact, I might agree
5 ft nothing and a buck something doesn't bode well for the long term

Just like it didn't for Marty St. Louis right?

How did that work out for the Rangers?

How did that work out for the Rangers?

Pretty good, got us to the SCF at least and it’s not like we gave up much in hindsight

 

[Foppberg]

If the price was #2 +... I think I'd rather gamble on Kakko. He's going to be a beast.

Hindsight has its ways.

 

[fred klees]

We are going to draft a sick group.. Pass.. Thanks

 

[ElLeetch]

no thanks to Johnny "regular season" Hockey

 

[treple13]

It would cost far more than the Rangers would be willing to give up. No reason for a contending team to dump its best forward for just the second overall.

 

[viper0220]

The Rangers and the Flames make horrible trade partners.

Gaudreau back home to NJ for Hall.

Hall and and Palmeri for Neal and Gaudreau I'd consider

 

[McSuper]

Edmonton 8th for Zibanejab

 

[Shootertooter]

Gaudreau back home to NJ for Hall.

What is the + going with Hall to Calgary?

St Louis wasn't soft

 

[93LEAFS]

Gaudreau back home to NJ for Hall.

Pretty sure he's from the South Jersey/Philly suburbs and grew up a Flyers fan. I'm pretty sure Gaudreau would consider going to Philly more of a homecoming than playing in Newark.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Avs 1st (Not Sens) + Nate Clurman.

 

[viper0220]

Avs 1st (Not Sens) + Nate Clurman.

Take out the 1st pick and we will add ours but change Nate Clurman to Nate MacKinnon

 

[Lays]

Edmonton 8th for Zibanejab

Oilers can’t put together a realistic offer that would make me consider trading him

 

[Snowpants]

What is the + going with Hall to Calgary?

Hall's Hart Trophy? (Hall better than Gaudreau)

Gotta love these people who think that just because Gaudreau is fresh off a bad playoffs you are going to get him for a steal.... any combination of Zibanejad (a 2C, who could fill in as a low end 1C on a non-playoff team), Georgiev (a back-up goalie with some promise), Vesey (a 2LW/3LW), and a B+ prospect (translation a long shot to be an NHL player).

Zibanejad had a great season but he could very well of just had a career season that will prove to be an outlier.... his next best season is 23 points less than this one (46, 51, 37, 47, 74... one definitely looks different than the others).

Johnny Hockey (and I am an Oiler fan who "hates" the Flames) is easily a point per game player and is one the top 5 wingers in the game.

Start at your 2OA and then add... like someone else already said.

I’ll stick with KK.

 

[zar]

I’ll stick with KK.

I understand why you might, as below is a list of the recent 2OA picks... some would definitely be valued higher than Johnny, but I would say more are not.
2000 Heatley
2001 Spezza
2002 Lehtonen
2003 Eric Staal
2004 Malkin
2005 Bobby Ryan
2006 Jordan Staal
2007 James Van Riemsdyk
2008 Doughty
2009 Hedman
2010 Seguin
2011 Landeskog
2012 Murray
2013 Barkov
2014 Reinhart
2015 Eichel
2016 Laine
2017 Patrick
2018 Svechnikov

Most GMs would take the guaranteed guy... remember this is not a a McDavid/Eichel draft year where these two players (Hughes/Kakko) are seen as two generational players.

 

[gach]

What would it take?

Your first pick

 

[GOilers88]

Nobody is going to overpay for him

So you think the #2 pick is an overpayment for a 25 year old 99 point player?

 

[GOilers88]

What is the + going with Hall to Calgary?

And I think a Hall/Gaudreau trade would be the most lateral, equal, 1 for 1 trade you could make. No + either way.

Sure if that player is Johnny Gaudreau
