Dreger: Rangers and Golden Knights want to trade up

[Fugazy]

Dallas seems like the most likely option.

 

[Blind Mind]

Problem is a drop from pick 3 to 7 is huge in this draft.

Top 3 are solid all the rest are really mediocre and all the GMs know this

Not really actually, top 5 are all pretty equal to me (Hischier, Patrick, Heiskanen, Makar, Liljegren *IMO) and then to me the drop does not make any big difference (Villardi, Mittlestadt Glass, etc.)

 

[Rebels57]

Vegas needs a top pick franchise centre type guy. I think they deal with Dallas, then with Jersey or Philly so they get one of Nico or Nolan.

That only works if NJ wants to go D. If they want to go C the drop off from Nico/Nolan to whoever Glass/Vilardi is hard to make up even with 13th pick. NJ might be tempted because they need a lot to rebuild but Philly likely would not trade 2 for 3, 13, and 15 and miss out on Nico/Nolan.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

i would say heiskanen

Well considering at least one scout has Makar at #1 and more thant one has him in the Top 3, that's not really accurate.


There's 4 guys(Makar/Heiskanen and the two forwards) that could really go anywhere in the top 4 at this point. After that you see maybe a slight falloff but it's not big.

 

[Morten]

Rangers 7th, 21st and Nash for 3rd?

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

JT Miller + 21st for Panthers 10th overall

 

[LordHelmet]

Rangers could absorb one of Dallas' goalies.

#7 for #3 and Niemi?

Contrary to popular belief, Dallas is fine with their goalie situation and doesn't need to clear cap space.

If someone wants Niemi or Lehtonen and they represent positive value in a trade, then great. If not, we'll buy Niemi out.

 

[mattydamon]

I believe Benning mentioned a possibility to move down, probably if glass/makar are taken as he'd then be into petersson, so it's a possibility.

 

[vancityluongo]

Would love to move down from 5 to 7 for pretty much any sort of asset. Take Pettersson and run.

 

[VoynovsParoleOfficer]

Rangers 7th, 21st and Nash for 3rd?

too much id do #7 and #21 for 3 maybe throw in a prospect but cant be creating anymore roster holes

 

[dechire]

Rangers 7th, 21st and Nash for 3rd?

We aren't trading 3OA for a forward.

 

[Empoleon8771]

3 way trade:

Knights get the #1 overall pick
Devils get the #3 overall pick and #15 overall pick
Stars get Methot and the #6 overall pick

It just makes too much sense. Devils can draft a D and they get a mid 1st rounder as compensation for moving down, Vegas gets their franchise center and still has another 1st rounder left and Dallas keeps a high pick plus gets a top-4 LD.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Run back to the podium to pick someone else?

 

[therealkoho]

Gee Dregs that's super exciting d'ya anybody else may want to move up?

 

[oconnor9sean]

too much id do #7 and #21 for 3 maybe throw in a prospect but cant be creating anymore roster holes

That's not enough for Dallas to have any interest

3 way trade:

Knights get the #1 overall pick
Devils get the #3 overall pick and #15 overall pick
Stars get Methot and the #6 overall pick

It just makes too much sense. Devils can draft a D and they get a mid 1st rounder as compensation for moving down, Vegas gets their franchise center and still has another 1st rounder left and Dallas keeps a high pick plus gets a top-4 LD.

An aging top 4 dman isnt enough (for me, at least) to lose out on the top 4 guys.

 

[Trxjw]

I'd rather not get into a bidding war with Vegas over trying to move up with a defensemen and the 6/7 pick. Just stay at 7 and take Glass or Petersson.

 

[The Burdened]

so long as the Flyers aren't the team trading down, then I'm cool.

 

[Tripod]

Dreger doing its best to hype up the crowd


How predictable ...

Avs fans, what would you throw the Flyers way to get your pick of the top Dman in the draft?

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Well considering at least one scout has Makar at #1 and more thant one has him in the Top 3, that's not really accurate.


There's 4 guys(Makar/Heiskanen and the two forwards) that could really go anywhere in the top 4 at this point. After that you see maybe a slight falloff but it's not big.

that guy should lose his job then

 

[Shootertooter]

Rangers 7th, 21st and Nash for 3rd?

no chance, the 7th and Nash perhaps.

 

[Gardner McKay]

JT Miller + 21st for Panthers 10th overall

Miller is worth the 10th by himself.

 

[Unspecified]

Methot++ for #3?

Added a +

 

[Unspecified]

Rangers could absorb one of Dallas' goalies.

#7 for #3 and Niemi?

For Dallas to drop back 4 spots they better absorb ALL of that contract and add.

 

[Curufinwe]

Methot+ for #3?

Methot + 6.

 

[oconnor9sean]

Methot+ for #3?

If pick 6 is not involved, there's no deal without Theodore in it.
