If they trade him, which they very well might, it’ll because if their depth at RD. Not because they dislike him. We didn’t have Trouba, Fox, or Lundkvist when Gorton acquired DeAngelo.
What is he worth? That’s impossible to know since teams value players differently. Trading him for futures makes no sense, so picks likely won’t interest us.
Our RD is set. We absolutely do need a top-4 LHD — but then again our prospect pool at LD is one of our strengths.
A 2C is another need, but Strome did just finish with 59P in 70G, thanks to Panarin.
So that’s where things get tricky. If ADA is moved, it’ll be a hockey trade.
We should be open to best return in totality of circumstances.
My expectation given managing cap and more immediately, slotting for protection in exp dft, we should be open to acceptably high picks.
Otherwise concur w/first half of your post.
