.full out rumor chart update next because I can't even begin to remember a CRAZIER rumor season shaping up. One Assistant GM called it "Bedlam!" - Der Kaiser
To those interested in HB Mock Draft,
An updated Trade Proposal -Posted: Sunday @ 11:18 PM ET To Buffalo
-4OA
-Compher
-*Rights to Brassard (*conditional 2020 2nd if he does not resign)
To Avs
-7OA
-30/31OA
-Nylander
The 4-OA would be A Turcotte as he checks-off most of the boxes the Survey identified as a profile for Sabres pick at 7th.
- Center, #1 position of need
- Attributes, 3 highest ... Sniper, Skating, 200' Game (maybe not the "sniper", but scores and drives play)
- Ranking, 3rd
Of course, we give up
-7 &30/31 for 4th, a 12% premium according to Schucker's NHL Draft Value chart
(900 pts given, versus 800 received). I'm ok with that.
-Nylander, but we get JT Compher back!
Both fulfill the Tough to Play Against desire by Bitts and Ralphie-boy
Brassard is a throw-in, if he signs, great..could be a guy to package in a trade (little value now I'm sure)
I'm taking the deal! - IonSabres
Not bad
Obviously tbs if Turcotte will be better than Cozens, Zegras, etc
Getting Compher back is nice though
Good chance he outperforms pick 30/31
How Nylander develops will likely be the determining factor in how the trade looks down the road
A bit risky...
but obviously Turcotte was your guy & u got him
I traded McCabe and #30/31 for Brandon Saad on the Blackhawks board - jcragcrumple
What?
F#ck no!
He’s a 20-ish goal scorer, which is nice
But 6mil Cap hit
No 1st round pick, no way
More like McCabe & a 3rd (at most),
but i wouldn’t do it for anything other than straight up
And I’d also explore many other options before i got to that
Saad make me nervous, you don't know which game he will show up too. - SABRES 89
If nothing else, it gives a sense of what the market value for the pair of McCabe and that first might bring. It was actually the Hawks blogger who put that together when I mentioned McCabe
