<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>Paying a guy more than he's worth is how you successfully offersheet someone. RD is also where they need more depth in the organization rather than LD which is why I have them also trading Bean for Grans. Ideally out of Peeke, Boqvist, Liljegren, Grans, Ceulemans and Blankenburg they end up with their RD needs met for the next 6-8 years and then Werenski, Gavrikov and one of their several LD prospects have the Left side covered for about the same timeline.</div></div>

They don't need RD depth just for the sake of it. They need a top guy. Peeke and Boqvist are great in the right role. They're just not no. 1's. I doubt Cuelemans will become that guy either, so maybe one of them has to be moved out for a top RHD. Then maybe offer sheeting a second pair guy makes sense.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Viqsi</b></div><div>I think we can do better than that for Bean (that just adds a 5th to what we spent to get him), and frankly I'd rather keep him around than pay Zadorov anywhere near that amount of money.</div></div>

Really? What makes you think they could get more than what they paid for him given how he played last year? Maybe in a best-case hypothetical scenario if he gets stronger and has a good first half of the season, they could get a 2nd+ back for him, but right now I don't see how that's possible.

I love Zadorov. I know the drawbacks, but there just aren't that many guys with his size and combative attitude. 4.5 is too much for him, but if they could get him at 4 x 3 that's a deal I'd take all day. Gudbranson is slow and inconsistant. I don't think CBJ need a guy like him right now. One UFA defenseman on a reasonable contract this summer would be cool. Two is too much.

Sujet: Jarmo makes the Wright call
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>Yeesh, people are way too high on Wright. No way would I want Jarmo to trade 6 and 12 for 1 in this draft.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jwg314</b></div><div>I don’t think Wright is worth all this hype. It doesn’t feel like a Jarmo move.</div></div>

I haven’t heard anyone (aside from casuals on boards like this) who is super high on Wright. He has all the tools to be a really good player and a legit 1C, but he is far from being protected as a generational-type talent by anyone with any significant credentials.

The closest CBJ have been to having a true 1C in their 22 years was Johansen and Dubois, who were only beginning to emerge and were borderline 1Cs when they were dealt. This is probably going to be the only time for another 20 years that they will have the assets to trade up to 1OA without massively overpaying. When a 1C is available and the team holding that draft pick doesn’t need/want him, you have to take advantage.

Jarmo likes to take big swings via trade, i.e. Gaborik, Saad, Panarin, Duchene. The CBJ pipeline is stocked and is one of the best prospect pools in the league. They already have a logjam at forward and picking twice in the first half of the first round isn't going to help them right now more than picking 1OA. This is what they need, to acquire a future 1C that fits the timeline with their plethora of young talent.

Wright is going to be a really good player, but he is 100% NOT a generational talent. CBJ are desperate for a No. 1 center and MTL already has Suzuki and Dvorak as their 1-2 punch down the middle, and there are plenty of rumors saying they want Slafkovsky instead.

I looked at multiple draft pick value charts. 6 &amp; 12 alone are worth about 10-20% more than 1OA, and in a draft that doesn’t have a generational talent at the top, that further decreases the value of 1OA. Adding in a future second and Bean makes this a home run deal for MTL, not to mention taking back cap space in Byron. This deal helps MTL now and puts them in a pretty good position for the future.
