Read the thread, a fan was willing to PAY $250 to get him off the Panthers. Everyone is calling him trash so I figured why not take a flyer. If HF is so good at scouting talent, I guess it wont be long before we can just grab him off waivers anyway.
Meh, I mean there’s rarely someone on a team who has legitimate negative value as described above.
Trochek is far from what’s being described. Still a good M6 C that would be an above average 3C on a contending team. He’s having a weird year and has not been as good after his injury. Many people noted that he has tons more turnovers than before. He is on track to have ~18 more giveaways than his 75 point season, but ~30 more than the year he had some Selke votes. Still, some of the criticism is a little unfair since he’s in track for over 50 points.
fair value is probably early mid round pick (2nd or 3rd), a B+ prospect, and a NHL T9 player. Of course, the pick really depends on other pieces being offered.
Jankowski + 2nd + a T3/4 (since CGY doesn’t have a strong pipeline) prospect in CGY system should do.
