I figured somebody'd like him

If Hextall got 2 1st round picks and Trouba for the 7th overall, the man deserves his own holiday.

Well, you asked.

I'd do it if the player was any of Petan, Ehlers, or Morrissey along with the picks. But I'd probably do the #7 for Trouba straight up.

Edit: I'm with you on Burmistrov. Can't figure out why people are constantly popping boners over him.

I'd give them both 1st rounders for Trouba. Wouldn't think twice about it.

I'll take any of the guy's you just listed with the exception of Burmistrov. I'd even take Michael Hutchinson. Immediately fills the back-up job for next year. I don't think they're giving away Hellebuyck. I'd be ecstatic if we got Petan or Armia.

I'd loose my poop if we got Morrissey. I'm with you; that's not happening.
- mochoson

I'd figure him, Ehlers and Trouba are out and out untouchable.

I do like Burmistrov, though. I think he can play 2nd line LW and be a good asset.

I was thinking someone much better than Burmistrov....you actually just made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

I don't get how his name is even still popping up places. He has yet to prove he's anymore than a dime a dozen player in is pro career thus far between the NHL and KHL.

I'd want a prospect like Nick Petan. I'd at least start the conversation there.
- mochoson

Ofc I'd rather have Petan, Morrissey, Ehler, or Hellebuyck... but I doubt the Jets part with seeming potential future stars that they have in-hand to take a roll of the dice at #7, even in this draft.

And Burmi was a really good middle-6 forward before he left... really good PK'er too. Him plus two firsts is more than fair value, IMO.

Has he 100% declared in stone that he's returning to the NHL this year? The only news I've heard was “almost certainly." I don't like the "almost" part of it.

That I might consider. The extra 1st rounder might entice me to drop to 17. Still some excellent players going to be available at 17 and 25, and if the player is a guy like Burmistrov or a prospect like Nicholas Petan, Joel Armia or Connor Hellebuyck you're filling some holes at the NHL level or organizationally. Even better if it's a prospect like Morrissey, which I doubt they're willing to give in addition to two first rounders

I wonder what type of deals you can make with teams in the 12-15 range. Something like dropping to 13 with LA.

7 to LA

Get 13 and Tafoli or Pearson? Maybe 13 and Zykov?

I assume those guys will be throw-ins when we acquire Voynov.

If you're dealing with the Kings, I see them only willing to trade guys with bigger cap hits, not the cheaper Toffolis, Pearsons and Lewises

He has good size and skill. One of those rare Russians who play a 200 ft game. I think him and 2 first rounders would be a a good haul.

Toffoli, Brown, and Richards, and 13 for 7, VLC, Umberger, and AMac

- Jsaquella

He's a lot like Frolik.... once people stopped being disappointed that he wasn't scoring first-line level points, they realized there was actually a lot of other outstanding/valuable qualities to his game.

He'll be great, until he gets upset with his contract and goes back to Russia.

Assuming, of course, that he even comes back to NA this season.
