I just don’t see why NY would sell for pennies on the dollar when they have multiple valuable assets.

I would add a decent pick, it's not them selling low just them making him available. I wouldn't add a first or anything but like a second round pick in this draft would be pretty decent plus a guy like Suter to replace him for a quarter of the cost.

You know this trade is not supposed to be straight up right? Like obviously Detroit adds a pick, am I sure what that would be? No. Likely Detroit's second in this next draft.

I wouldn’t ask for a first, but I’d probably ask for a prospect like Mazur and the Blues second. I’m not sure how realistic that is tho.

They need to clear a lot if they r actually gonna sign Kadri. Personally I hope it’s not true lol.

Thank you for the responses. I really had no idea which is why I asked.

Yeah I think he would be a nice third line centre. Career 55% in the dot. Multiple years with selke votes. Him and Copp on the third line with maybe someone a little more offensive would be wicked. Suter is a career like 45-46% in the faceoff dot.

I'm not sure I agree about JGP being that much better defensively. Suter has more takeaways than giveaways whereas the opposite is true for JGP. He's a better hitter and shotblocker but faceoffs are to a degree a team stat so I would be careful relying on that.

Neither JGP nor Suter will be a star in this league and with Niederbach and Kasper wanting roster spots in two or three years time, and Veleno wanting a spot right now, I don't really see the point of a trade like this. The gain isn't big enough to warrant it.

When you talk about a career 10% difference I feel it is substantial. Suter could develop into a similar player just kicking the tires on ideas.
