Value of: Top 6 Wing to NJ

[Seanaconda]

Again you didn't answer my question nor did you read what I wrote. I didn't have any comment on value, I would love to add Tkachuk.

Has a top 10 pick ever been traded before playing a game for that team? (Genuinely asking)

Lindros is an easy one that comes to mind , I'm sure there are a few if not many more , guys that don't do much in the ahl or whatever and are traded away

To NJ:
Matthew Tkachuk (extended 8x9.5)

To Calgary:
Alexander Holtz
Unprotected 2023 1st round pick
Shakir Muhkamadullin OR Ty Smith
Andreas Johnsson (cap)
Nolan Foote

I would rather offer something similar for Meier (probably not as much), I doubt Tkachuk will age well, his skating is already average.

Zacha’s gone. What else can you offer for Pulju?

Mike Mcleod

 

[Lays]

Chris Kreider for Holtz straight up.

Yeah let’s trade our longest tenured player that just put up 52 goals in the regular season and 10 goals in the playoffs to our direct rivals for a prospect that wouldn’t even crack our roster

 

[Juxtaposer]

What are you adding to Holtz to get Meier?

 

[Gecklund]

Holtz+1st for Timo

Iginla? Lindros? Peter Forsberg?

Filip Forsberg was drafted 11th. McDonaugh was drafted 12th.

Holtz+1st for Timo

if we A) could top 5 protect the 1st and B) extend Meier, I would do it

I’d do it for either/or maybe not for and but I also don’t foresee the Devils missing the playoffs this year.

I'm fairly confident we will miss the playoffs, but we will look better. I think the devils are going to finish 9 / 10

They are looking a lot better especially if you’re adding Timo.

Bratt-Hughes-Mercer
Timo-Nico-Palat
Wood-Haula-Sharangovich
Johnsson-Boqvist-Bastian

Graves-Hamilton
Siegenthaler-Severson
Smith-Marino

Vanecek
Blackwood

This would all depend on how goaltending stands up but it can’t be as bad as last year and Vanecek is actually pretty good. I could easily see this team finishing above Caps, Isles, CBJ, and the Flyers with a possibility of finishing above the Pens. If you are healthy and get average goaltending, y’all will be either a WC team or the 3rd team in.

I think I’d probably do that. I think your 1st will end up in the 11th-14th range.

Severson will likely be available (with salary retained on an already bargain contract)
