So trade down in the 2nd and give up a 3rd for the signing rights to a LHD, for which we are already stacked at that position, and it is the worst known secret in the league that he isn't going to sign in Buffalo?

You guys are probably ahead by taking the consolation pick over this trade, I believe they give you a 33OA selection for it.

Lawson crouse has to be the most overrated player on this site now.

What a crazy price

Calgary has about 45k in cap space and a ton of middle 6 wingers.

We'll wait to see whether Ryan Johnson signs with anyone before trading for him. There's a rumor that he might even sign with us.


My understanding is that they get the pick immediately before their "natural" pick in the second round.

I think it's one round behind the player's original draft position. Johnson was taken 30-32 (I forget) so it would be a late 2nd.

Man, that sucks, but I guess it's better than nothing.

That is an awful overpay to Arizona



Its a full round after when he was picked. He was selected 31st OA so the pick will be the 62nd pick in 2024, so right at the end of the 2nd.
