Value of: Your Team's Best Offer For Bedard

[Cogburn]

Fine. I’ll give you 2 dollars worth of nickels! Our entire AHL team for Bedard.

Great if you're raising a barn, or forming a street team, or something. But you have a limited number of roster spots, and 40 nickels can't all play at once.

god Bedard.

Quoted out of context, confirmation if we draft him.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

No, f*** of,f, nobody is off the table if trading for him. Lol at not having Knies available.

Knies is literally bedard but bigger.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

Funny, I'd would want Matthews and Knies, though. And probably some retention on Matthews. And even then, why trade an ELC that is expected to be a phenomenal talent (called even years out), when he will have more team control?

I'd would makes my eyes bleed LOL.

This entire thread is pointless, whoever gets him is obviously going to build around him therefore they ain't trading him.

 

[Mr Kot]

Knies is literally bedard but bigger.

I am unironically convinced now.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I think Vancouvers offer would be along the lines of: Whatever players and picks you want + a lifetime supply of blueberries (hey those things aren't cheap)

 

[Cogburn]

I'd would makes my eyes bleed LOL.

Precisely. More time to build a team that will work around him, three years of almost negligible cap hit, it would take a whole, completely functional team to replace what Bedard could be viewed as.

Meaning trading him isn't happening.

Pettersson
Hughes
Demko
Canucks 1st 23

Salery Cap dumps in order to make money even.

This can't be serious...

 

[Schemp]

If my team was lucky enough to win the lottery, the only scenario I would think about is a Fantilli Bedard trade with significant assets coming back with Fantilli, seriously lopsided.

 

[Golden Gophers 4649]

Figure this would be an interesting thread.

From the Leafs I offer (assuming we get BTFO'd in the playoffs which we 99.9% will)

Nylander
Marner
Liljegren
Engvall
Kerfoot
1st
All prospects not Knies

If you were a GM and offered that my guess is you'd be fired immediately. Even Crosby has shown you don't win cups with one or two players.

 

[Bouboumaster]

One of Suzuki or Caufield
1st 2023 Montréal (could be top 5)
1st 2023 Florida
One of Guhle or Hutson
Any other prospect

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Hischier
Bratt
Nemec

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

This can't be serious...

We want a full rebuild in Vancouver and we would get the next great one who happens to be a hometown guy. Marketing alone would go through the roof.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

I mean it's a tough thing. The closest comparable is the Lindros trade. That was a top 4 defenseman (Duchesne) Hall of fame elite 2 way center (Forsberg), starting goalie (Hextall), good middle 6 player (Ricci), bottom 6 powerforward (Simon), 2 1st round picks and 15M in cash.

So Buffalo could offer Cozens, Tuch, Peterka, Power, maybe Mittlestaedt, 2 1sts and take $15 M in bad contracts. The question is why would the Sabres do that? Why would any team do it? Bedard is amazing but I think the Nordiques won that trade.

 

[abo9]

Caufield
Suzuki
Montreal 1st (obviously if its not Bedard )

And like, whoever else you like?

I dont think I can do better than that.

And here's hoping that Bedard is McDavid 2.0 because that team will look AWFUL after

I don't think anyone really disputes that the Nordiques/Avs won that deal. Forsberg was a pretty special player and those picks ended up being good players too. That trade tree is still with the Avs. Even with Lindros being everything he was expected to be until the injuries that was half a team worth of good players.

So basically a bunch of trash for bedard nice

 

[RandomJetsFan]

If that was the case I'd probably be fired as the jets gm by opening the cupboard and handing the other guy a shopping cart for his picks of prospects for Bedard

 

[rogking65]

How much would you have traded the Matthews pick for?

a lot less of course,,,Matthews had nowhere near the hype or expectations that Bedard has. Why? Do you think the ask for Matthews would be more?

Didn't we just do this last week?
