Sujet: Semi-reasonable prediction to replace Barbashev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>For Colton, I was more thinking of the contract. Giving up a 24 2nd for him would be very agreeable.

For Johnson, dude is essentially worth a 24 2nd right now, because that's the compensation BUFF gets when anybody signs him after he walks (barring any sort of bidding tug of war, of course). Throwing another decent pick on is already more than generous enough, but then also throwing Bortz away like trash is just plain bad management. I cannot think of a single reason that is a clever idea. I'm really kinda gobsmacked so many Blues fans push it. Makes no sense at all. So all told, the Johnson thing is a fairly wild overpay (relatively speaking to the scale of solid/cheap role players, early mid round picks and B prospects).</div></div>

Fair enough, perhaps you get him for cheaper. Johnson is a really good prospect though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Buddy, on pts% the Sens would fall into the 10th slot right now. And that's them fresh off a 7-2-1 run. It's gonna be a lottery pick. And then it's gonna be a 24 1st with a better team than they have now. This conditioned 1st and JBD is not good enough for Colt, let alone also taking the Zaitsev dump. If you want to trade Parayko, cool. Make a reasonable trade because now these dingles are gonna run around here talking 'bout "but Blues fans agreed to this fleecing!".

And overall, like I said, it would be far more wise to go find him a proper J-Bo partner than to trade him. Put him in a position to succeed, because we have not done that.</div></div>

By lottery protected I meant protected if it’s 1st or 2nd, I can see how that was confusing.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AC14</b></div><div>They've pretty consistently been PPG players for this season and last. I think you can generally expect near that output. The thing that needs to happen is they need a bit more consistency which generally comes with time.

Schenn, Buchnevich and Saad are also pretty good players in their own rights. Neighbors looked pretty good before the injury last game, can reasonably expect him to be a solid 3rd liner at this point. We'd probably need another center to be extremely competitive, maybe two. Our depth has been decent to be honest with you. I don't think we're going to suck enough to really enter into sweepstakes for the next 2 years and if we get to that point it's going to be alot longer than a two year outlook of being horrible.

It's very rare that you're able to draft and build a very competitive defense without some foundations. Ours right now is a bit of a mismatched pile of goods but each player in our top 4 is a top 4 player. Parayko's probably a #2, Faulk #3/4, Leddy #4, Krug ES is a bit of a hard call but he's elite on the powerplay and there's certainly a benefit to having him. Armstrong really never has an issue adding in good cheap depth. Contending for the cup probably at minimum 3 seasons if we're lucky. But being a playoff team I don't think we're all that far off after next season, and that's typically the goal for the Blues</div></div>

I don’t think it’s worth trying to scrap it together though. Like a true contender is better at every spot in the lineup. Seems like something that just needs a new start.
