Winnipeg definitely won't move Schmidt if it costs a 1st. They'll just buy him out if need be.

Can't see the devils moving back the pick is either traded or used on a LD or forward that falls

Can't see leafs doing that even though the value might be around that - 5m on Granlund isn't where their focus would be, although a cheap, cost controlled 6D like Benning could be of interest.

Could see fair dump value for Schmidt being attaching a 3rd and mayyyybe another later one like a 6/7 and the Sharks would accept.

Yea maybe a 1st if there is a solid piece going back. But I have to agree here.

And I don’t think this is a smart move for the sharks either!

I was thinking the same thing right value, wrong team!
But to be honest having Granlund as a vet presence would be a good option to have around! Maybe a TDL type move though

Ya probably not they should just fire as many top 2 round picks as they can for the next few years

We are not giving up a 1st for spare parts.

I’m new to CapFriendly, so didn’t know how to do this (if you even can), but I executed trade with the thought in mind that a third team would help retain 50% of Granlund’s contract and only have a 2.5 million cap hit for the leafs.

Far from spare parts, Leafs have parted with their first for way worse in past (albeit at the deadline)

My process on this was kind of a draft day situational type trade, theoretically, one of the top 6 dmen are still on the board and they jump the Sabres (who would be drafting the last of the 6) to land a top dman after snagging a forward with celebrini at 1. The devils are already stacked with talent and can see them wanting to move down and get their early 2nd back.

The sharks obviously already own their 2nd, but I can also see the sharks not wanting to part ways with either 2nd and limiting their darts thrown

No reason to use a pick on an LD specifically, defensemen take forever to develop. My order of preference:
1. Demidov
2. Catton
3. trade for Swayman
4. trade for Saros
5. MBN or Iginla
6. trade back
7. other

Fair. My thought process: The Jets could be looking to resign a bunch of their acquired UFAs as well (Monahan, Toffolli) or even another top UFA with that money. I thought we could get a first looking at the Monahan trade, trade away a piece that’s a negative asset at 6 million dollars for a 1st two years (that could have conditions) down the line. Probably a bit unrealistic tho looking back.

The way I look at it is that Schmidt has a value of -$1.1 million ($4.9 millon market value minus $6 million contract [The Athletic calcs]). Compensation for eating $1.1 million for one year would be the #68 overall pick according to PuckPedia's calculator.

I could see them trying to sign Monahan but Toffoli is probably too expensive in terms of dollars and term.

I would be surprised if Demidov or Catton make it to 10 and I'd rather them take any one of Buium Dickinson Silayev Eiserman Yakemchuk or Parekh then Nygard or Iginla this is a pick where the devils can swing for a homerun instead of take a safe player. I'd like a swayman or saros trade with it though

If Yakemchuk or Parekh are there at 10 this makes a ton of sense! Thanks for your insight.

Two wrongs don't make a right lol

Purely looking at value, pick 14 would be 5.1 GSVA, pick 13 (if the Wild grab at least a point in their game) would be 5.3 GSVA, pick 10 is 6.0 GSVA, and pick 42 is 2.0 GSVA. The third rounder will be 0.5 or 0.6 GSVA. The Sharks would be giving up 7.1 to 7.3 GSVA for 6.5 or 6.6 GSVA. I looked through 18 trades where teams traded up in the 1st round and the team moving up typically paid around 10-20% extra as a sweetener. If they weren't sending back the 3rd and we were trading pick 14 it'd be a 18.33% sweetener, with the 3rd and 0.5 it's 9.23%, 3rd and 0.6 it's 7.58%. Pick 13 without the 3rd is 20%, with the 3rd at 0.5 it's 12.31%, with the 3rd at 0.6 it's 10.61%.

I suspect if the trade were to happen we wouldn't be getting the 3rd back but it really depends on how willing to move NJD is and how much we want the pick. (For reference when the Sharks traded back a few years back it was a 31.58% sweetener).

Think if the sharks trade up it will be to jump ahead of a team in need of a RD to grab Parekh or Yakemchuk. And sharks would likely be willing to move their first and NJD or their own 2nd as a sweetener. But we will see!
