Quoting: coga16
thats why I said the Pro scouting is confident that they are once again finding a buy low candidate.
Yeah if you look at the types of deals Sakic has done in recent years "buy low" seems to be a pretty big criteria....
- Burakovsky for a 2nd + 3rd
- Grubauer (+Orpik buyout) for a 2nd
- Graves for Bigras
- Kadri + 3rd for a pending UFA (Barrie) + Kerfoot
- Namestnikov for 4th (rental?)
That's effectively a trade consisting of:
Starting goaltender + 2C + top 6 forward + top 4 LHD + 3rd line forward (rental)
FOR 2 2nd's + 1 year of Barrie + Kerfoot + 4th + AHL Dman
Not to mention free agent signings like Francouz and Donskoi... or even the Duchene trade.
Overall it's an incredibly impressive body of work. And based on that track-record I could certainly see Sakic being interested in another buy-low candidate in Murray.
