What’s your top 7 look like?
- Nucker101

Geez man. Do we really need a top 7 roster projection for 2027 on draft day?

It’s just Whitey trolling again. Ignore

Just getting our numbers up. One page worth of responses

Add in Bellows and I would be interested.

2nd that motion 👍👍

Not a legit rumour, but saw this on twitter:

Not trying to stir the pot anymore then most, lots of rumours out there, but heard from a few friends of friends that the #Canucks and the #Islanders are working a trade which involves Andrew Ladd, pick #11 #12 for pick #7 and Tanev, could be an interesting evening #NHLDraft2018


Any feelings on this, good/bad value?
- WhiteLie

I'd say Ladd probably has slightly negative value after those last two seasons and being signed until age 37 @5.5M.

I'd also say Tanev has slightly less value than #12 considering only 2 seasons left.

So if those two considerations approximately balance one another you are looking at just #7 for #11.

Really depends if you value Ladd or see him as a liability. This would depend on the perceived cap structure and development phase of the team throughout his contract.

I think you treat him as a liability regardless because that's the Isles motivation for moving him.

I already PM'd CaptEO.

I’d flag him but Mackey never listens. He is too busy playing street hockey in his Stecher jersey

He's not retiring....teams rather have 2-4 year deals now rather than Luongo deals.

I have seen him play a number of times so I know why your GM thinks he will be a NHL Dman

He was talking about Brisebois

Ronny is in grade 3. Still a little fired up after Sports Day.

But he is a UFA after.

I just don't think Tanev is worth the #12OA straight-up. Maybe to a sure-fire contender but otherwise I don't see it. Not that I think it's a huge imbalance either. Just seems like wishful thinking to me to assume you'd get #12 for Tanev.

Ronnie, Ladd's contract is up their in terms of worst in the league right now.

The 7th and Tanev for 11 & 12 alone is a reach for me.

Nice bait. Does my presence offend you or something?

Thats kind of where I ended up. If the Isles added a 2nd or 3rd rounder (or a prospect) to cancel that out, I would take it and finally move on from the depreciating asset that is Tanev

- belcherbd

I think there are teams that would like to reach the cap floor and would take on Ladd's contract for fairly little in terms of picks/prospects. Although I agree he should be seen as a liability.

There’s plenty of talk around teams trying to slide back early in the draft. Teams behind aren’t willing to pay much of anything at all.

- VANTEL

No, not even Donnie can bring himself to do it with much passion these days.
