Quoting: ish
Elias Lindholm this year, 4 months ago, went for a roster player, 2 prospects, and 2 picks. He doesn’t have half the resume of a Draisaitl. Is the issue you have that I didn’t include the extension for Drai? I would assume an extension gets done if he really wants out of EDM.
okay, lets dig into that one. a lot there. you really want to compare those two trades? yikes pal.
Lindholm got:
a pure multi-year cap dump
two okay prospects (vancouver protected their top guys pretty efficiently)
round 1 pick
conditional round 4 pick.
You've got Draisaitl getting:
Carlo - more value than the entire package going to calgary, one of the best defensive d men in the league on an incredible contract
the bruins top prospect - argue about his value as you wish. i'm not here for that
a guy that played center in the NHL as a teenager - those guys don't move
the reigning vezina winner
1st round pick
2nd round pick
you can't be serious trying to compare those two.
contract wise, if he comes with an extension, we have a good chunk of evidence that it doesn't impact the trade value all that much. This is bad.
