What would it cost the hounds to Get Hugg from you guys we have a open import spot but not a lot of picks to throw at you
Though not NHL drafted, based on his play and production this season, I would call Hugg a high end import player (though not elite). The last time we traded away a high end import was when we traded Radek Faksa to Sudbury. We got an import forward back from them basically to make room for Faksa on their roster. Also coming our way were two second round picks. I would expect close to the same in return for a Hugg. I don't expect an import player in return as you only have one and since he hasn't been in the league yet a year, he can't be included in any deal.
Also not lost on me is the fact import players are hard to move. Most teams already have their two import players. And usually, contenders are already set in that position. That brings his value down a little bit when you compare his output to that of a non-import player.
But I don't think it would be out of bounds to expect two second round picks for him. Either that or the equivalent. I'm not sure what your draft pick situation is, but in lieu of two second round picks, a half decent younger player plus a couple of thirds might get the job done. Nobody would expect a high-end 17 or 18 year-old off your roster. No doubt you'd need that player to aid in any run you might want to go on this spring.
Truth be told, I would've thought that the Greyhounds would be in sell mode this year to replenish the assets spent last year in making their run. There will be a lot of tough decisions between now and the deadline for your team.
