Firstly, Rosen is closer to 175 nowadays. That was his draft weight. Secondly, there’s about zero chance you get a lottery first for 2 years of Markstrom. Let alone +. Corey Schneider traded for pick 9 after posting a season much better at 26 years old and willing to sign an extension would be an example of a high price for a goalie. You are implying roughly that ++ is wild.
Where do you come up with crap like this?
Even if Rosen does weigh 174 now that's still pretty light for a 5'11 20 (21 soon) year old hockey player especially when that 20 (almost 21) year old is a left shot winger quite literally the most readily available player type in the entire game. It isn't like he has high end skill either, those guys tend to be over a PPG in the AHL rather quickly. Halfway through his 2nd year in the AHL Rosen is still only an 0.76 PPG player this year and 0.63 for his AHL career to date. He's small, soft, a minus player at both the AHL and NHL level. Finally in 7 NHL games he has 0 points and -3. He's not worth that much, a project at best but most likely just another career minor league player who's too small and soft for the NHL.
Nobody said anything about a lottery pick. It doesn't take much brains to realize Buffalo at the very least would insist the pick be top 10 and probably top 15 protected.
What does a Corey Schneider trade 11 years ago when he was a pending UFA and the cap actually mattered have to do with it?
Markstrom isn't a pending UFA he has 2 years left on his contract plus as teams like Tampa, Vegas and this year Toronto have proven the cap can very easily be circumvented now. It's gotten to the point where to be a top contender you almost have to play fast and loose with LTIR to spend way over the so called cap.
