Not really that important of a stat in the big picture, It's gets even less important when you look at his birth certificate and contract. Ron Hainsey is at same stats, what do you think his value is??
I think the acquisition cost of a guy like Benn would cripple this Franchise for years. We don't have a deep enough pool to consider decimating it. IMO we really need a number 1 center, not a winger no matter how high end.
It’s a unique situation. They’re unhappy with him. If we win the lottery and draft Hughes or just suck the rest of the year and get Cozens, Krebs or Dach, does losing Hayton hurt that much? If Dallas had Hayton 4th or 5th overall last year, how much would we have to add to him and Goligoski? Proabably not a whole lot more than a 2020 2nd or something along those lines.
So essentially we are offering Dallas a potential really good 2nd line center unlikely to play for two seasons, a boat anchor D, and a 2nd round pick for possible the best power forward in the game who scores at almost a point a game normally. I think they do a hard pass but heck who knows??? I do doubt that offer woukd not be beaten badly on open market?? And that NMC might be a slight issue .
Nope. Offering them a top five pick that’s developed well over the last year. You may not have high hopes for Hayton, but they might think he’s one of the five best players in his age group. You think it’s a bad deal because you think Hayton was a bad pick.
I think that would be a game changer with others being slotted where they have a much greater chance to succeed.
No can do. We are not deep enough to absorb such trade. We a very thin as it is. I don't want to trade a 1st, Hayton and whom ever else, unless that someone is AM, and even then it could cripple us. I would rather sign Duchene and keep our assets.
This would come after the draft, when bonuses are paid. There are a bunch of good centers at the top of this draft as I mentioned.
It’s fantastic after his next bonus. I’m just repeating things here. Cash and Cap aren’t the same.
