Podz92 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 25 minutes ago, Grape said: Yeah, Umberger had no interest in Vancouver though. It's a pretty big assumption at this point to think that Lockwood has no interest. If every player going into their 4th season in college was traded then there would be a higher proportion of players who opt for FA. Could be wrong though. But at this point any thought of trading Lockwood is definitely premature and most likely has negative value for the reason I pointed out in my first post. I never said I thought Lockwood wanted to be traded or that I thought he should be. Just was responding to your comment that it was a huge risk for any team wanting to acquire him... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 41 minutes ago, Grape said: It's the same thing for the team who trades for him though. If anything it's even worse for the team that would trade for him. At least he has an incentive to sign with the team that drafted him. If he's traded, he really has no allegiance to any team and will almost certainly test FA. For that reason his value would be very very low, lower than the potential benefit of signing with us Fox is a much better asset who was traded with one year remaining before hitting free agency last summer. The team who acquired him, the Hurricanes, are stacked on RD with Hamilton, Faulk, Pesce and McKeown already ahead of him on the NHL depth chart for next year. I'm not sure how likely it is that he signs there. And he was more than just a throw in within the larger deal; Carolina wouldn't make the deal unless he was involved: They talk about it about halfway through the video. Vesey's rights were also traded to Buffalo within a month of him hitting free agency if I remember correctly. Both of those guys had a lot more value than Lockwood does, so the return wouldn't be as good. Of course if he says that he'll sign once he finishes the season next year, then there's nothing to worry about. If he doesn't really say much regarding his future in Vancouver and goes back, then I'd look to recoup an asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If Lockwood plans to stay for his 4th year then sign with Detroit we could trade his rights for a depth right shot defence prospect that Detroit has like Jordan Sambrook. 5th round pick in the 2016 draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITs time to gut this management. Are you trying to beat yourself up or something from being way too attached with prospects whom may or may not make it? You might want to get your own black eyes checked out. Luckily the organization will be just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40Dangles Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Has Lockwood said he's going back? I see 2 pages of drama when he hasn't even said what his plans are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three names on the 'to be signed' sheet. Lockwood, Brassard and ( rumour ) Sturm. Only two can be signed. Brassard, in my opinion, is third on the list and will only be signed once Lockwood, Sturm or 'mystery name from nowhere' say no thanks !

Kootenay Gold Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If they sign Brassard; does he not fit into the same situation as Di Pietro as being exempt from the 50 roster limit as long as he does not play in any pro level games this season?

With Lockwood waiting a wait makes me believe he is planning his role next year with Michigan, for next year so he can approve his stock and sign has a UFA. He could very well sign with us but the delay is little bit concerning. Boeser, Gaudette, Demko and Hughes were all top end prospects that were dominating College Lockwood however is not hes a roleplayer so hes weighing his options.

Difficult question. Once he has no OHL team to slide to, perhaps he has to count against the 50. As an overager, he would have ended his OHL eligibility. So........???

Lockwood is not a role player in college. He’s a first line winger on almost any team. Edited March 15, 2019 by Grape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they sign Brassard, it will be to a PTO in Utica and then sign him for an NHL contract that will be dated to begin July 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned the other guys as dominating in college and then mentioned that Lockwood was instead a role player. I think it was fair for me to assume you were talking about college. But of course, if you’re talking about the NHL, that’s fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think people just looking at his number might underestimate hima bit. I don't think UM were an offensive powerhouse, especially once Norris went down.
