Prospect Info: The 2019 Entry NHL Draft Thread - Part X

[henchman21]

I think Landy is the easy target after Barrie, but the sneaky one is Girard. I could see those negotiations being tricky with a 2 year bridge, then the inevitable nonsense will ensue.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they move Zadorov. I think he will ask more than he is worth and judging by reports they are already iffy on him.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

My guess is it goes Barrie ---> Landeskog---->Girard---->Rantanen---->Mackinnon---->Makar


In order of guys we eventually trade because our team refuses to pay good players good money. But Ian Cole will get his 4.25M from us for the next two years you've got no worries about that one.

Oh I think Z will be moved within the next year or two, but I can't see his name generating much chatter. Other than the outcry here when it happens. The board certainly won't be calling for it like it is with Barrie.

 

[Foppa2118]

With the swirling Barrie trade rumours, I wonder if the draft selection will be Byram?

Barrie doesn't even need to be traded at the draft, but with a year remaining and future uncertainty there is a greater possibility AVs will be drafting a Dman.

REPORT: The Colorado Avalanche have Tyson Barrie on the trade block

He does if there's 2019 draft picks involved. Also when they moved ROR in the same circumstance.

Don't forget Byram or Turcotte.

You guys are forgetting about the inevitable slap fight over trading or not trading Soda at the TDL.

You just had to actually vocalize it, didn't you? We were all thinking it but you just couldn't stop yourself from being that guy and actually saying it SMDH

 

[UncleRisto]

One more freaking day. Feels like we’ve been waiting for this pick since the Reagan administration. I’ve fallen into previous draft speculation before, but nothing close to this rabbit hole. I had a trippy dream about getting pizza with Peyton Krebs last night.

Did he have good character?

Yeah and what did you make of his achilles?

 

[Patagonia]

Don't forget Byram or Turcotte.

Will the speculation change the draft strategy with the 4th OA?

It seemed rumours were leaning on Dach, but Byram could be the choice should a trade happen.

They're different ages in entirely different situations. Zadorov isn't a pending UFA with a history of tough negotiations with the team.

When Barrie was Zadorov's age, he had two full NHL seasons under his belt.

 

[Bender]

The answer is, and I think we agree, is that he isn't that guy.

Agreed.

That’s what I’ve keep thinking. He’s the Keith replacement that they just don’t have. They have a lot of D prospects but none that are blue chip top pairing guys, or at least top pairing guys that can replace Keith’s role.

So then if the Hawks PASS on a guy like Byram to draft a center while having Toews and Strome as their #1 and #2 already, that should send off a bit of a flag that their scouting staff didn't see Byram as a blue-chip, top pair guy. A team with that need, shouldn't be passing on him.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Oh man... I did forget about that. He's a UFA next summer...


Quick! Trade him now before he loses too much value this summer.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I'm sure since hes a center he'll get a 1st rounder. So that is well worth possibly missing the playoffs.

He says like it’s not an HF constant.

 

[Bender]

I think Z will sign with the Avs long-term this summer. He doesn't put up enough points to justify a huge payday. I can see a 5 year deal for $3.5M - $4M per.

 

[RockLobster]

They're different ages in entirely different situations. Zadorov isn't a pending UFA with a history of tough negotiations with the team.

When Barrie was Zadorov's age, he had two full NHL seasons under his belt.

Zadorov is on his way to a potentially having a second protracted contract negotiation with the Avs...so they’re a little more alike than not.

 

[Ivan13]

I don't think he justifies it either, but I don't believe he shares our opinion. They already went through rough round of negotiations once. I see no reason it ends up different this time.

 

[Ivan13]

Zadorov is on his way to a potentially having a second protracted contract negotiation with the Avs...so they’re a little more alike than not.

Yeah, but for some reason Ty is a problem child and the guy who was unsigned until mid September ahas his negotiations somehow swept under the rug.

 

[Foppa2118]

Zadorov is on his way to a potentially having a second protracted contract negotiation with the Avs...so they’re a little more alike than not.

If they end up having another one sure, but we're not there yet. For the situations to be the same, Zadorov would also have to be a pending UFA with 1-2 years left on his deal. Or going to arbitration with his UFA status coming up soon. Thats when most of the Barrie trade talk started, outside the occasional proposal.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Yeah, but for some reason Ty is a problem child and the guy who was unsigned until mid September ahas his negotiations somehow swept under the rug.

Oh I already brought up this double standard earlier. Not worth it.

 

[henchman21]

I think Z ends up in arbitration and has an ask north of $5m...

 

[Ivan13]

I think Z ends up in arbitration and has an ask north of $5m...

You gotta start high, but even as an initial ask that is absurd.

 

[Foppa2118]

Yeah, but for some reason Ty is a problem child and the guy who was unsigned until mid September ahas his negotiations somehow swept under the rug.

As of now, they're not the same. Barrie took until September to sign coming out of his ELC, then went all the way through arbitration on his next contract.

We can call them similar, if Zadorov goes through arbitration this summer, but as of now it's still June.

You gotta start high, but even as an initial ask that is absurd.

Not really IMO. If they go to arbitration, the Avs will offer in the $3M's, and Z will ask for $5M hoping to get around $4M.
