Quoting: GeneralLandro
You think we are trading a likely top 3 pick a pick in the 20s a good 3rd pair defenseman and a 37 goal scorer making less than $3,700,000 for Brady?? Insanity
I’d love to trade for him but that’s wild
It may be off, but I actually don’t think it’s crazy far off. Vaak got benched last night for the likes of Lindstrom and Lageson
Vatrano is an expiring UFA (~mid-late first value)
EDM pick likely to be pretty late
Then the high value top 5 pick
Brady’s a stud, and would be adored by Verbeek. I think the 2 issues are:
(1) We’re flush with LWs so someone else would need to go that isn’t included here. It’s not going to be Gauthier, which leaves Zegras who I see zero reason to trade. He’s been awesome since returning
(2) With 4 years left, he’ll be an approaching UFA right when we’ll be in our compete window
Love Brady, and if OTT valued Z highly for there to be a swap there that made sense, maybe. But otherwise I think ANA’s focus should be on RW and RD
