Sujet: Garland
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlastnyFromThePastny</b></div><div>I think Garland and Nichushkin would likely change spots in the lineup here. Call me a homer but I'd prefer to remove one of Compher, Helleson or the 1st. I'm happy giving up Helleson, a first and third for Garland's prime years on a contract like this. He can come in when one of Kadri or Bura leave (that's the outcome I see.)

If Canucks really need more than that, maybe we can add Jost to this or maybe just move on and Nucks can find a buyer for that price.

Compher is such a beauty middle 6 forward and can slot into all special teams when need be. Someone you really want to keep for a deep playoff run.</div></div>

If we made this trade I'd rather put Garland on the 3rd line. He's at his best at 5v5 and this gives Newhook a proper skillful winger to play with. Nichuskin also elevates that 2nd line a lot too.

If this trade is made now or at the deadline then Compher would need to go the other way for cap purposes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlastnyFromThePastny</b></div><div>Really? I mean I know it's been a tricky year for scouting but the guy often touted as going 1st overall isn't projected to be elite? Why is he touted as going 1st overall? Where are the elite defensemen in this draft?</div></div>

He's being highly touted because a lot of non-american prospects didn't play many games and if they did, it was overseas thus being hard to see them as well as it being hard to get good video of them.

I'm not sure I'm allowed to put links in a thread, but try <a href="https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/topdownhockey/viz/NHLEquivalencyandProspectProjections/ProspectProjections" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">draft projections</a>clicking this, there is a guy who has been working on models like this where he tries to project how prospects would develop throughout their NHL careers. He gives them a % chance of playing in the NHL and % chance of becoming a star.

Power has a 97% of being an NHLer (200+ games) but only a 17% chance at being a star. And from watching him play at Michigan a bit, I'd say its fairly accurate. His size and skating ability will make him have a long NHL career, but his skill and decision making is average at best. He'll be a very good player, but not one I would pick with the first overall pick.

And to answer the question about the elite defencemen, I'd say Clarke has a better chance at becoming a legitimate top pairing guy

Just check it out and play around with it a bit, I find it really interesting because he has been pretty spot on with his predictions in the past!

Sujet: Re-Signed Dougie and OEL Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BlastnyFromThePastny</b></div><div>Fair enough, if Skjei is a sturdy Top 4 D + Bokk develops into a middle to top 6 player + one of those 2nd rounders turns into a player that contributes significantly over a few seasons (be it via trading the pick or drafting someone) then I'd say it'd be worth it. I think OEL is gonna be on the upswing on whatever new team takes him. (Especially a place like Carolina.) So I can see people declaring Zona the losers of any OEL trade 1 year from now.</div></div>

I just think that OEL-Pesce would be a nuts pairing, essentially creating a 1B pairing to match with the 1A Slavin-Hamilton pairing, and that any analytical criticism that people had with OEL in Arizona would vanish with (finally) an elite partner-in-crime. Also, no way would OEL not waive his NMC for Carolina.
