Scratching Siegs wasn’t a good idea and should never happen again. Caps did the same with Dylan strome

VAN needs to add. A lot.

I don’t think so. Petey is turning into a superstar. As much potential as bedard has petey has already proven he is a 1C. I think I would rather have bedard since he fits the jackets timeline wise better but I think it’s fair value wise

100 point player with selke level defence + 11th overall

I don't wanna trade Pettersson for the first overall because I don't know how Bedard is gonna translate

That’s true - and I get it, bird in the hand, two in the bush.

But if VAN is trading up to 1OA, it’s because they’re believing this kid is the next McDavid, or more. Plus, if CBJ is going to trade the next McDavid, you’re going to have to make it hurt.

I mean, flash back to 2015. What does EDM get if someone wanted to trade up to 1OA?

EP extended at $11m (which he is absolutely worth!) would provide significantly less excess value over contract than bedard on an ELC.

Lindy ruff making a dumb coaching decision doesn't mean we get rid of a high quality dman on a bargain for the next half decade for dirt cheap
