Quoting: Celtics21
I disagree on both fronts.
I believe Boston takes that offer for Gryz in a heartbeat. I’d prefer a late 2nd in the package even if we give back a pick.
I don’t think Boston takes Dreiger unless the intention is to cut him. If he’s included, Reilly is going back to Seattle
3rd /4th in a heartbeat? You know how little value there is in those picks?
Typical 4th round produces 1 or 2 average NHLers, a few spare parts, and large pile of never make its. 3rd isn’t that much better. Picks after 75 are just lottery scratchers, you’d like to win something decent, be content just getting another ticket, but most likely a loser.
The odds of getting absolutely nothing out of those 2 picks are significantly higher than pulling a player of similar caliber to Grizz.
Depending on how the rest of their offseason plays out, unless they can get a pick in the 45-65 range for him they are better off keeping him rather than move him and have to replace him in a weak free agent class. If moving him means they sign Ryan Graves for 1m more than Grizz, i will move him for nothing. But if they just replacing him with 3rd pair types via free agency they better get some value.
What they would do in heartbeat Ully/Grizz for that Hart package, they would trip over themselves to accept it. Ully for 2nd/Goyette/Driedger they accept quickly as well. Driedger would be flipped, buried, or bought out.
