Seider for first overall?

Garland is worth a fifth. You could flip Kubalik for a second. So yes canucks accept

Myers and Garland are cap dump (maybe not Garland but he has minimal value). Kubalik is worth a second at least. Three second > 11 overall + cap dumps

Kubalik and Garland are similar value players.

You can objectively look a pick values online. The 11th pick is worth 338 points. The 42nd and 43rd picks are worth 85 and 81 respectively. Pick any random other 2nd and the value is still not even close to the 11th. And that's assuming Kubalik is worth a 2nd which he isn't to the Canucks. And that Garland is worth nothing which he only is if the Canucks are completely cap crunched.

Fair argument except for Kubalik & Garland’s values being similar. They are not, for obvious monetary reasons.

Thats why I said similar value players. Adding in salary Kubalik has more trade value but when Garland is expiring he'll have the same value. A 2nd probably at the deadline.

When Garland is expiring… in 4 years? What are we talking about here….

He just got 66 points because of Caufield. Suzuki overperformed every analytical stats offensively. Both of their shooting % was 16%. No way they can keep that up. Suzuki is a career 10-11% and caufield will be a career 13-14%

And the way he plays, he shouldnt even be playing Center. He plays along the boards and never occupies the middle. And hes too slow to make it up defensively. So in an ideal world, hes on the right wing anyways. And even then, he still wont be a ppg player because hes not that good at driving offence on his own. Dach and Caufield are the only ones on the roster rn that could get ppg.

1) turn cap lock off

2) the Habs should be looking for futures since they’re about a decade away from competing for a wild card spot.

3) LOL at Montreal being the Mecca of hockey.

4) “proven himself” to average .7 points per game(across 4 years, he’s not a rookie). That’s good enough to be a very solid 2C.

5) thinking that you can get a teams top player just because you’re giving your top player is silly. If that’s the case, the Sharks should be trading Karlsson for McDavid, after all they’re both teams top players

I agree with everything you said except for the part about needing to reach the cap floor. Signing a free agent RHD for $5m solves that issue/difference quite easily. I do however think if CHI did do something like this, I’d still do it from chicagos perspective but I’d want a lot more.

Suzuki is as untouchable as Seider. But it doesn’t mean a good offer won’t be accept

Yes, the cap floor is a minor thing, the retention is huge and to give DET of all teams a top D man for 5m for the next 7 years as a CHI GM can get you fired.

7 years retention is far too long to even consider without a mammoth return which no team in the league would be willing or should do, the move can't happen.

Maybe you should watch more games instead of posting garbage takes like this here, maybe you'd understand hockey better.



Habs 10 years away? You are delusional lol.

I know you hate the habs but atleast try to hide your bias a bit.

Dang what y’all got against the red wings 😂 we’re not in the same division/conference anymore
