Save the 2nd on Nyq who disappears when it counts most and draft a C this year? Korczak is 0/5 and -4 in AHL so I doubt he's NHL ready at all next year.

Or it would be Blais + '23 2nd + 3rd for Vali + Bju which seems to favor NY but "its a deep draft"

How do you value Bju vs Boyd 50%? Their metrics this year are both solid. Latter seems more valuable due to contract but worth an extra 2nd?</div></div>

Excellent take, Mon Ami.

Learning of the severity of Nyquist's injury following this post, I would pull the proposal for him altogether.

Boyd was a hot topic earlier in this Season, but has expectedly cooled off lately. Bjugstad has maintained his consistency, and is therefore of greater interest.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Never claimed to have one and I can't promise they like Robertson, but I do understand the team needs and what types of players they like - a smooth skating, hard compete big LD who can make a first pass checks both those boxes. On the other hand, the wing stable is already loaded and a small poor skating type isn't their bag anyway.</div></div>

Understand the interest in Robertson, but Korczak is listed as a C, not a Wing like Kravtsov. A more desirable position.

Given that he's the best C Prospect we have (if that's saying much), along with the uncertainty of RoR, I figured that would pique the Blues interest. Add that with the interest in Korczak from their fan base (whether that means something or not), and I figured that it could be a intriguing in a deal.

Also imagine if they don't win it with this lineup, then it is time to give up on hockey...

Or at the very least give up on the team.</div></div>

I'm more of a Lafreniere detractor, to this point. If it's the Rangers screwing him up, then so be it. But when Chytil and Kakko struggled in the beginning, there were still certain facets of their game that made up for their lack of point production. And then eventually, the other areas caught up.

Lafreniere is absolutely invisible. Despite the lack of production, there is no other area of his game where he sticks out. I know it's probably wrong to move him this early, but in year 3, he's not showing the same progression as some of the other young Forwards before him.

And while I have liked Kravtsov 's improvement of late, they're jerking him around, too. His hijinks last year with Drury included, and I don't see him being around for the long haul.

The Two 1st Rounders will likely be later in the Round. Solid Draft class or not, they can be had.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>poeticentropy</b></div><div>I must not be understanding this scenario at all but I thought NYR would have his RFA rights after this deal which means Meier could go anywhere after they don't QO Meier. There's no specific tie to SJ and he would likely not come back to SJ. So this would be an absolutely terrible deal for SJ, losing Meier for less than a 23' 1st return is not going to happen. SJ is not going to do destination teams favors unless collectively all interested parties do not have the cap space for him. In other words they don't care if the destination team can keep him or not, that's not SJ's problem: SJ is getting maximum return for Meier because they'd prefer to keep him anyway.</div></div>

Based on how you look at him, resurrecting Lafreniere is the bigger prize.

If you are of the mindset that he's already a Bust, then Yes, the Sharks are getting fleeced.

But if you are of the mindset that there is still untapped potential there, then San Jose is getting a young player with exceptional talent.

And the Rangers don't have enough Cap space to give Meier a QO next Season. And since everyone knows it, it's very unlikely someone would want to pull off an expensive trade for his rights, knowing that the Rangers will have to cut him loose anyway.
