Quoting: SupremeBone
These seem to overvalue OTT players to varying degrees.
Kubalik likely doesn't even return a 5th at this point
Tarasenko isn't returning a 1st + EDM's top D prospect
Hayton is a tough one to judge the value of so I can't fault you there
Whitecloud is a vital piece of VGS' blueline and won't be traded at the deadline (they have cap space from LTIR... unfortunately)
Kubalik will interest someone, I mean he is a former 30 goal scorer. Someone who thinks they can get out of him what Ottawa couldn't... I can see him gouing somewhere that has a great PP because he can really add to it with that 1-timer. But I think he might fetcj a 4th if Ottawa eats half his cap hit.
Tank I think could fetch it... I know Edm is reluctant to move Broberg, but I could see Edm get desperate enough. Especially if Vegas adds a big piece with the cap space they just opened up, then there's Colorado. Dallas added one of the bigger defensive pieces.... I think it's possible with as many as 5-7 teams asking about him according to reports out of Ottawa and Toronto. Staios has stated he wants a strong prospect and a 2nd rd pick.... The pick becomes a first if Ottawa eats 50% of his cap hit.
Hayton seems like a kid who needs a change of scenery. He only has 7 points in 28GP.... Brannstrom is also a kid that needs a change of scenery. He'd get PP time in Arizona and the Yotes need a defenseman than can carry the puck, and he's not bad defensively.
Whitecloud is ranked 6th in Vegas on TOI value for defernseman (Pietrangelo 23:49, S. Theodore 23:01, A. Martinez 19:44, B. McNabb 19:24, N. Hague 18:17) all these defenseman play more minutes than Whitecloud. JBD also plays the 6th amount of minutes for the Sens. Exchange is Vegas gets younger, and cheaper, Ottawa gains experience and finally a partner for Chabot who he has played with and had success with.
