Quoting: hanson493
i just dont think they need to make this deal. you might think they do and thats fine. i dont think they need to trade a young dman with a higher potential for another young dman with a lower potential.
Juulsen is a NHL player
Muhara might be one
Juulsen's peak could be as a #4 D
Muhara's peak could be as a #2 D
Juulsen has value and could land a job if his Waiver Exempt status was done today
Muhara has value but if his Waiver exempt days were gone today like Hayden Fleury he'd be exiled to no mans land where a teams to afraid to bring you up as a regular for risk of losing you for nothing on the Waiver Wire .
each year that passes by favors Juulsen >Muhara because JM needs a top 4 role to thrive where as Juulsen utilized his size to block shots and hit on a 3rd pair regular role .
their Value today is virtually the same , Muhara will only have the value you place on him once his ELC is done and he's made it out of the AHL and into the NHL
but really those trades were unnecessary and done out of mercy to give players like Lehkonen and Juulsen teams where they could thrive taking lesser players who have not shown consistency at the NHL level in return . i coulda just as easily let them lose value in lesser roles but i just wanted see them used i guess.
honestly outside Juulsen i think most of our prospects will find a role to fit into
Juulsen on the other hand is screwed now the Brook just turned Pro
