Then there is Adams. His legend grows.
- Mentalorgasm5

He's got a year under his belt. Pulled off a Risto trade that was beyond expectations

There's more details, like possibly a 2022 first as well going to Arizona (they are retaining money on OEL)

Holy crap

OEL must be the best d man ever.

He’s getting two firsts.

Everybody knows trades are what determine how good a player is.

Coyotes are taking back a portion of the Ekman-Larsson contract in the deal with Vancouver. Arizona will pay about 1.2 million per year for the remaining 6 years left

He would have been a side piece to the deal.

Perhaps dominoes ?

Anyone have any insight into what is making the '22 draft hyped up as being so much deeper than this year's?

Robert even Brian Burke got talked out of trading for Risto.
- Mentalorgasm5

Three years after that, the Flames are about to dismantle their core.

And it wasn't Risto's fault.

More star power at the top. Better depth throughout.

Shane Wright could be up there with the Eichel’s and the Matthews’.

makes sense!

Lol couldn't resist. But in a nutshell, it is just that. Detail will only be determined on a per player basis. There are 3 guys who would easily go 1 tonight in the 22 draft.

Buchnevic is an awful player. He only got a 2nd Rd pick in return.

No no.

How good a player is is determined by trade return.

OEL -great
Risto -god like
Buch -awful
ROR -Tall and terrible

Okay...OEL and Garland for Beagle, Eriksson, Roussel a 1st tonight, a 2nd (next year) and a 7th. ARIZ retains 12 per cent of OEL salary
