Nobody's worth 3x1st+ but Gretzky!

Jeez, people...put the playstation controler down for Price's sake.

All honesty I think dallas if they don’t get the cup this year really could make a deal work. They’ve got prospects and picks with Wyatt Johnston as a roster player to make it work

The values here are kinda all over the place. For the caps trade, I think it’s a fair ask, but it’s a lot and I don’t know that the caps would do it. I don’t know if the Canucks would do it, either.

Like I said in the caption, it's just for fun bud - its not that deep

Why are sabres paying substantially more than everyone else? Take Quinn out and we'll talk

I mean, I disagree, there's lots of players worth 3 firsts... depending on where those 1sts are. I doubt the Canucks would accept the 30th, 31st, and 32nd overall for EP40. That being said though, the most recent 5th oa, a top 10 pick, and another mid 1st pick is a looooooooooot.

Here's a fun fact I just talked to my Canadiens friend about: Elias Pettersson is on pace for his second straight 100 pt season. The last Montreal Canadien to score 100 pts in a season was Mats Naslund in 1985-86, almost forty years ago.

I imagine almost every fanbase reading this is thinking the exact same thing, for what its worth. I would say that Dallas and St. Louis are giving up as much or more than Buffalo.

These valuations are all over the place.

Pretty comical. But the Rangers offer would be like Mika + 2nd + Sykora.

I’m not a VAN fan,
but I’m pretty sure they’d find your offer “pretty comical”

Sabres wouldn’t be interested in Pettersson imo
Great player, but his next contract is gonna have a Cap hit about double of Cozens
Adding him- IF he’d even sign with us- would screw with our Cap Structure too much imo

I’d love to get him, just don’t think it’s a realistic option

Can't tell if you're underrating Mika's value or overrating Peteys but the difference between a 90 point player and a 100 point player making 4mil more every year with leverage for where he's willing to sign long term is not huge.

Maybe a bit of both to be honest
BUT
u seem to be forgetting that Zibanejad is about to turn 31 and Pettersson is only 25

That 6 years represents a HUGE amount of value imo- A LOT more than Sykora & a 2nd

Mostly on here tbh. Not in the real world.

NYR try to sub Lindgren in for Schneider but they definitely consider if Mika waives

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If u don’t think being 25 has a lot more value than being 31 then u just don’t have ANY common sense

Oh I think being 25 has a lot more value than being 31. Whether that value is worth significantly more than 4mil annual cap hit difference is another story. Based on market value/trade history, a 6mil cap savings cost teams about a 1st. So over about 6 years, and 24 mil that's about 4 1sts...
Now whether the regression due to age at the end of each contract is worth the difference of 4 1sts is an interesting discussion. Then we're looking into aging curves based on player types (being 35+ hasn't affected Giroux/Marchand/Crosby/etc much). So on and so forth. It's a very layered discussion.

The only thing arguing is if it’s worth “a lot” or “A LOT”
REGARDLESS,
it’s worth a hell of a lot more than Sykora & a 2nd
That’s NOT arguable
