Value of: Pittsburgh’s 1st round pick (owned by Ottawa)

[Langdon Alger]

What could Ottawa get for Pittsburgh’s first rounder in this year’s draft? It will be late in the first round anywhere from around 22-31, depending on how far Pittsburgh goes in the playoffs.

Ottawa’s needs are a top 4 (left side preferred, but maybe RD if Karlsson gets moved)
A top six forward any position
A good third line winger at LW or RW

Also possible they’d be willing to move back a few spots to get an extra pick considering they don’t have a 2nd or 3rd in this year’s draft, but that would be done on the draft floor.

Andrew Shaw is your man, we paid 2 2nds for him so he must be worth something

Apparently

Is it enough to entice a team to take on Bobby Ryan's contract with no retention? (assuming he doesn't go with karlsson)?

 

[PWJunior]

I don't know about addressing the needs laid out by the OP, but the Isles have 2 2nds. Depending on how late the 1st is, would 41 + 43 be of interest?

That’s a possibility.

Maybe from the Avs. We have so much cap space and need a big winner. Getting another first round pick would be great to keep feeding the pipeline, thats how great teams are built

Interesting to say the least. What DeKeyser is making now is slightly higher than what I'd expect Dorian to give Ceci this summer as an RFA. I like Anthansiou quite a bit. I think I'd do that deal.

Don’t know much about DeKeyser, but he’s making 5 million for 4 more years, so I’m not sure how interested I’d be.

No, no it is not, any team taking that deal is sending back a bad contract

To be honest say if the pick is 28-31, I rather just take my chances with the 2 picks. My best bet for the Islanders is draft a forward with the 10th pick and defense with 12th, 41st and 43rd.

Ottawa needs to keep both picks since they won't have their 2019 pick

I hope they explore moving the Pitt pick for perhaps a similar ballpark pick in the 2019 draft.

Ho-Sang and Domi come to mind

not sure what else would need to be added

Would you do Myers/Petan/2018 2nd for Pitts 1st and Formenton?

why would a rebuilding team trade a first rounder and one of their best prospects for a one year rental, a worse prospect and a pick 30 positions lower?

that being said that's bad value for Myers who could get a first on his own so I'd do it based purely on trade capital

Charity. Duh.

Not entirely sure they are in full rebuild. They have great core pieces, Duchene, Stone, Chabot, Hoff, Ceci, White, Pageau. Myers fills in on the right side if Karlsson leaves (jesus, imagine the return) and Petan, while buried under the depth that is the Jets is a dynamic player who can bring playmaking and speed. He really is good and just hasn’t been given a chance. My theory was Myers=1st and Petan/2nd=Formenton. Could add any one of Dano/Harkins/Stanley to balance out

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Ottawa needs to keep both picks since they won't have their 2019 pick

What if we make the ECF again?

I know it is hard for Leafs fans to understand but teams do win playoff series.

Just not Toronto.

 

[Skirbs1011]

I think the Canucks will be listening on some of Goldobin, Granlund, Hutton and Baertschi

 

[Liver King]

zero interest in that trade, OTT says no.

Not moving Formenton, kids a gem

Ceci

I don't think that's a smart deal to make for Ottawa.

Athanasiou is severely overrated (not by you, but by a lot of non-Detroit fans on HF). Most people see the speed and the breakaway goals but aside from that the guy is basically a fast 3rd liner that dissapears way too often. Not only that but the guy is due for a contract this summer.

Also making a Ceci/Dekeyser swap doesn't really work for Ottawa since the only RD we have right now are Karlsson, Ceci and Wideman. Karlsson is likely traded, Wideman was injured all season and is a bottom pairing guy so that leaves us with Ceci. Trading him will not happen. Especially that we have nothing coming up on the right side other than Jaros.

I think the value isn't far off but the fit isn't there.

are they realy rebuilding, im pretty sure that pick is in play, it needs to be to upgrade the team, Imagine ottawa protects this years draft pick and end up last next year.

They paid an expensive price for Duchene and it was a REALY big gamble, you never trade your first before making the playoffs or being realy close to, this could be a disaster and considering they are probably losing karlsson, it needs to be a Hockey trade to make them relevant next year.

Still doubt they lose Karlsson, and if they do the return will probably be very good. But yeah I agree, I could definitely see them moving the pick. Either to move up a couple spots if they're at 5OA (doubtful), or to get someone like Domi or something depending on how late the pick is. Or Grubauer if it's 28-31OA. But it should be used to upgrade the team.

Either way, unless they lose Karlsson and get no one NHL ready in the return (doubtful), I don't think they'll be nearly as bad next year.
