Value of: Nolan Patrick to Winnipeg

[Avalanche2133]

I was just wondering what the Jets would give to land Nolan Patrick at the draft? Being a Winnipeg boy and all.
As I am a Colorado and Jets fan, I wonder what else the Jets would add to Trouba to get Patrick at #1 if Colorado lands that pick which is looking more likely every day.

Would something like #1 pick for Trouba and Connor be fair?

I think you're overrating Patrick a lot if you think Trouba + Connor is fair.

 

[Heldig]

That is too much for the Jets to give up.

 

[BayStreetBully]

Nolan Patrick in Winnipeg would be cool. Potentially the most prolific Manitoba-born forward, after Bobby Clarke and Jonathan Toews?

I wonder if the combination of skill and hometown factor is enough to make Patrick more popular than Laine.

Really?

The guy with the contract troubles that will probably have to be traded in the near future and that has yet to prove that he can be a top pairing D in the longrun + a great prospect that isn't really NHL ready yet is too much for the #1 Overall?


I disagree with that...

 

[Huffer]

It would be nice to get Patrick, but the best outcome with Trouba is an extension.

Baring that, and the Jets lose Trouba, the team needs to add multiple young D to the mix because the Jets have less young talent on D than on O.

Also, no way personally I would trade both Trouba and Connor for Patrick.

Yup. Too much. Not all 1st overall are worth the same value.

We aren't talking McDavid/Matthews #1 overall pick here. It's more along the lines of McKinnon #1 overall pick.

Avs draft Patrick

 

[Hunter368]

As a Jets fan, Nolan would be nice to have but no biggie either. I would never over pay to get him, he's no McDavid or anything. If we win him via draft ok, if we make a fair hockey to fill both teams need ok....no way I would over pay though. Home town thing is way over rated, don't really care

 

[Avalanche2133]

Avs draft Patrick

Avs would be following the Oilers model of drafting forward after forward high without fixing the D. If they draft Patrick then Duchene or Landeskog probably traded for a D. Took Oilers trading Hall to finally get a upgrade on D.

 

[Hunter368]

It would be ehlers+trouba atleast. Connor hasn't looked good at all.

Hell no from jets. Nolan isn't projected to be "that" good. Easy pass

Patrick is exactly what the Avs need and would be a perfect duo with Mackinnon. They can trade Duchene for defense

 

[Maukkis]

If Chevy can pick him, I'm all for adding him to the mix. If not, I'm not paying for the privilege of having yet another rookie forward.

I disagree with that...

Ever since Bob Mackenzie referred to Nolan Patrick's upside is as a 2C, the value of picks in this draft (on HF) has tanked. I'll put it this way though, would you trade a good young 2nd pair defenseman, a good rookie with middle six upside, for a guy projected to be a 2C? I wouldn't.

Agreed. He isn't projected to be that good.

I could care less if he's from Winnipeg.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I wouldn't trade either of those pieces for #1 overall in this draft.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Avs draft Patrick

They should probably draft Tim Leljegren. Nolan Patrick is more likely to be a Nugent-Hopkins than a Seguin, let alone being a McDavid. If I were trading for that pick, I'd ask myself if I would give up the same package for Nugent-Hopkins. If the answer is no, its probably too much. And I'd ask if my team needs another top six forward more than a top 4 defenseman.

 

[Paradise*]

It would be ehlers+trouba atleast. Connor hasn't looked good at all.

I don't think you understand how good Ehlers has been. He's been one of the Jets best and consistent players.

He's definitely untouchable and part of our core, both now and in the future.

Yeah which is garbage.

Of course there is no Matthews or McDavid in this draft.

But do people honestly believe that Trouba + Connor is good enough to fetch those guys?

Really?

I certainly would not even consider that package for MacKinnon.

Patrick definitely has legit #1 upside. Who knows if he will reach it but he is certainly still worth a ton right now if anyone wants to trade for the pick (which is why the #1 almost never gets traded in the first place).

 

[Stephen]

The thing that puts a damper on the tank talk this year is Patrick has been hurt and might be an average to below average 1st overall.

 

[Huffer]

Are ppl joking with this? This draft is not as strong as 15 and 16 but cmon.... Patrick and liljegren are not garbage.

Who said they were? Trouba and Ehlers are not garbage either, which is the point.

They aren't garbage but they also aren't as valuable as Ehlers or Trouba.

This draft class sucks

 

[burrythebiscuit*]

I want lilgegren on the wings. I'd give up a decent amount but I definitely would not overpay for Patrick

I guess need trumps BPA for you. It's not like Detroit has a potential 1C in their system either. Most would yell you to go BPA, which would be Patrick.

 

[FrozenJagrt]

As a Leafs fan, I think Winnipeg would be foolish to make that trade. Patrick scares me. I was VERY high on him last year, but the kid just can't stay healthy.

Don't get me wrong, I like a lot about him. He's a big righty center who can do it all. But man... It's one health issue after another with him.

I think Winnipeg would be better off trying to get a top pick next year for Dahlin. Kid looks to be a phenom who would make Jets fans forget Trouba ever existed.
