laffy

Ylonen has very little trade value. Struble doesn't have a ton either.

Rangers easily pass.

A few days ago I proposed. 2025 1st (top 10 protected) worse of the 2 picks, 2nd round in 2024, Ylonen and Jake Evans for Laffy.

it got mixed reviews. Helps with the Rangers forward depth and gives them 2 picks.

The package I listed was quite a bit more than you offered here.

Another package I saw was Barron, Ylonen, 1st (2025) and 3rd.

All to say your package is light.

Throw in another prospect with potential and then it’s a maybe

thanks for your feedback, i just added a first. i does seem like a lot to me though... do other fanbase agree that two okay pieces + a first + a second is good value?

Laffy has a lot of mixed reviews. He was a 1st overall pick, has performed well for a 20 year old. But has not performed well for a 1st overall pick.

My assumption is that his value starts at what Newhook got (late first and early 2nd but that was on the draft floor) and add from there. hence why I think my proposal is fair. Evans and Ylonen don't have a ton of value but do have some. That 2024 2nd will more than likely be later. That 2025 1st will probably be a bit earlier.

The whole Laf thing, let's be honest, is tricky.
He's such in a pivotal year.
He has the exact same trajectory - freakishly similar - as Yakupov.
He could also start to breakout this season, exactly like Kakko did last season.

So it looks like we will see, this season, WHO Laf is exactly.

Hence, his value is very much in flux at this precise time.

My opinion.
