Sujet: Win Now Mode According to Murray
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HadesOfSoCal</b></div><div>What would you suggest? Maybe bring up Welenski?</div></div>

So if we did the Boeser trade and thus didn't have Manson, I'd probably want essentially a cheaper Manson replacement (another physical defensive RHD). Because without Gudbranson and Manson there's really no one who's good in there own end besides Lindholm. Maybe a guy like Bogosian on a 1 year 1 mill deal? I wouldn't hate Vatanen back on around 2 years for 3ish, we'd just be very small/not physical/not great in our zone on the back end which wouldn't be great.

The better solution is probably to grab a guy like Tyler Johnson or Virtanen if we really want a scoring RW or get another defensive RHD thrown in a Manson package. Personally, I'd rather deal a center or one of the LHD kids for a RW than Manson if we're trying to be good next year. If we're trying to acquire assets for future, different story though.

Sujet: What would you pay to trade up for 6
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEarthmaster</b></div><div>I think the question is what is the Ducks' needs and what are they trying to do?

Are the Ducks trying to be competitive? Then they need to get better defensemen and more offensive talent up front. If I was Minnesota I'd try to do something around Dumba and if I was Winnipeg I'd try to do something around Laine. Obviously both of those would require more than a mere pick exchange, the Ducks would have to give more as well (much more if it's Laine and Winnipeg's pick).

If the Ducks aren't trying to be competitive, they should keep the pick. I saw Friedman's report but I don't understand why they would trade down. Do they think they are good? There's good players outside the top 5 in this draft, even if they aren't going to be immediate impact players.</div></div>

I'd assume the thought process is they're indifferent between the guys from 6 to say 10 or 12ish, so might as well get some extra assets and still get a talented player in the 1st round. It may also depend on who is picked in front of them. Maybe they like Drysdale and then see the forwards as very similar?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HadesOfSoCal</b></div><div>1) We could get more for Lindholm and Rakell separately and NY is ****y when it comes to moving Nils

2) Gudbranson doesn’t need to be traded he’s been fine if anything we can just buy him out.

3) Most mock drafts have Drysdale falling to 6 or 7. We shouldn’t trade more picks. And even if he does get picked we should go after Holtz or Rossi.</div></div>

Agree with all of this, hate the idea of trading up. At this point we just need to acquire as many assets as possible and I don't think the drop off between 4 and 6 is very significant talent-wise. Also Gudbranson wasn't awful and it makes more sense to just eat the cap hit for one more year rather than prolong the problem. Not like he's blocking anyone or is keeping us from signing a free agent (that I'm aware of). The Rangers trade seems around fair, if anything favoring NYR a bit. I agree that you'd probably get more dealing them separately.

Sujet: Dumba for Manson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I'm not so sure Anaheim is going to cling to #6 if the first five go as I said above. Who are they going to pick there? Let's assume that there's a small qualitative difference between the guy at #6 (let's call him A) and the guy at #9 (let's call him B). Which would you rather have: A plus two years of Manson, or B plus three years of Dumba, who is almost three years younger and a little more offensively accomplished?</div></div>

I'm totally with you especially if Drysdale is gone at 6. Let's say the first 5 are Laf-Byfield-Stutzle-Perfetti-Drysdale. That leaves Rossi, Holtz, Raymond, remaining which in a worst case scenario go 6,7,8. That leaves Sanderson, Askarov, Lundell, Quinn, and Jarvis still on the board. Personally, I think someone will reach for Sanderson before 9 and wouldn't shock me if one team is high on Lundell. At worst, I'd think we take Sanderson at 9, at best we get one of Rossi/Holtz/Raymond, who we easily might take at 6. IF we are able to get three years of Dumba (who's better than manson) vs two years of Manson and still get one of Raymond/Holtz/Rossi at 9 I'd think this is a steal for us, while Minny guarantees they get one of the top F prospects. It all depends on how the draft shakes out.
