<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>You'd value Korchinski and Drysdale higher due to draft pedigree and offensive potential, but my point was that Vlasic has played at a level this year thats higher than Drysdale ever has</div></div>

I'd agree with that. But small sample size on a guy who doesn't have the pedigree of the other two makes it tougher.

Which is why Vlasic wouldn't be the guy I'd have put up for sale if I was Chi unless he was valued according to his play this year. But I doubt that's how he'd be valued and so he wouldn't be involved in the trade.

As of right now I'd say Vlasic's actual value is significantly more than his trade value. with time they will get closer together, either from an increase in trade value as he sustains play and becomes more "safe", or a decrease in actual value if his play declines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>If Korchinski asked out of Chicago (won't happen) I would accept a package of a Reichel level former 1st round pick prospect and a 1st around 20th overall. Maybe we disagree with what reichel is worth but if someone posted the equivalent of this for Korchinski I wouldn't feel like i'm getting spat on like CBJ fans do</div></div>

Disclaimer: Not trying to have attitude, but just trying to explain the CBJ perspective as an exhausted fan, this isn't directed at you.

The difference is we are trying to compete on a quicker timeline than Chicago given the current roster makeup, and have a glaring need for 1RD. It doesn't make sense to trade the only person in the organization who could potentially fill that role unless we're getting someone back who can. The CBJ fandom ire is 100% directed at people ignoring both the fact that he hasn't requested a trade and that, regardless of actual value coming back, you don't fill the 1RD spot with a 17-year-old who won't be ready for a few years and a winger, for example.

We could trade Jiricek for 1OA and, like, Logan Cooley and it still doesn't fix the fact that we <em><strong>still need a Jiricek. </strong></em>

But for some reason, "Jiricek isn't available" or "we need a RD coming back" isn't good enough for anyone on here. End rant, thanks for listening haha

Interesting conversation going in here! I like that list of prospects, but we do need to ensure we take our time with the rebuild and not rush it. I'm not sure I agree with the comment about bottoming out AFTER Bedard's done with his ELC. Getting the 1st overall seems like it's bottoming out...well see where the record falls this year. At the same time...if you dig into rebuilds, let's use the NJD. Jack Hughes...2019 #1OA. They dropped him into the NHL right away and last year was their 1st good year in a long time. Jack was out of his ELC, BUT last year also wasn't bottoming out. 1 year here 1 year there...whatever. I guess the point is keep building. Keep acquiring assets. Maybe try to move up in the draft to avoid OTT's disaster by losing Lassi, pissing off Pinto, and shoulda lost JBD.
