The Only Way I Would Consider Clarke for Chychrun a Good Idea

What if the trade happen & Clarke become ‘Erik Brannstrom’ ? It won’t be a L
You always need to wait before calling a trade a L
Unless it’s something like Buchnevich vs Blais & a 2nd
That was bad right away

This would be a clear win for LA. I think there needs to be at least a 1st in there for Vejmelka, especially since Petersen is being moved for free here.

Arz is trading the established player so I see why 2 1sts + a good prospect might be high, but they should be getting Clarke+something even if it's small at the very least. I think the Yotes want a 1st+a 2nd for Vejmelka which is probably too high, two 2nds is reasonable or a 1st. Moving Petersen should cost at least a 2nd.

Fine, change "loss" to "terrible idea." Too much potential to trade a guy with Clarke's potential for a defenseman 2 years away from UFA.

If Blake gives up Clarke+ for Chychrun, I'm breaking out my torches and pitchforks.

Torches and Pitchforks if that's the case.

There will be more going back to ARI, unless this is just you saying this is the base of the trade. But vejmelka is worth it. Swapping Clarke for chychrun now is smart but in the future it’s going to probably suck.

I’m one who doesn’t want to trade Clarke.
