How much value does OJ have around the league? I know he's been injured a lot, but it seems like nobody other than us even knows who he is.

 

I wonder what his trade value would be on the market. Not that I want to trade him, but I'm just curious to how he's seen.

He's a (not so) young prospect who had a slow development process if you compare him with other dman of his class (or if you consider that he's a 6th overall pick).

So not so much.

 

I suppose he's considered as a B prospect around the league, so if you want put him on a trade you must include other players/assest to receive a fair return.

 

BTW, I still believe he can be a top 4.

Not saying they would but for a team like Edmonton more prospects do nothing to help a team that should be gunning for the playoffs.

 

It's not like Juolevi has zero value either, he was having a decent season in the AHL until his injury.

I see your point.

I think that OJ is still a prospect, maybe more ready to step up than the future #15 pick of the 2019 draft, but I put him in the same category.

 

So I don’t see a team make a move like this, UNLESS Juolevi is part of a more extended package .

Not giving up, selling from a position of strength for a position of need. 

Do you think teams would give up a first rounder for a prospect who in a 2016 redraft would be pick maybe around 15/20?

 

So basically you trade your pick for a player with same value but two year older..

 

(I’m genuin curious, don’t want to sound polemic )

From a Q&A with Corey Pronman at The Athletic (LINK - need subscription though):

 

Q: Where does Tyler madden get drafted on a redraft?

A: Mid 1st.

Another gem by our scouting.

Thank you, Mr. Brackett.

I believe that, for the franchise's sake, with our great scouting, we should always take BPA.  The value of the asset is hugely important.  We need to have as much value as we can.  Free agency and trades can always fill in the blanks, but if you continually draft for position and not BPA you will degrade the overall value of your assets.

 

My point being, there is no point discussing who we should take until we know where we will pick.

Recent history proves your point.

 

Virtanen and Juolevi were drafted by need, Pettersson was the BPA (Hughes also, so let’s hope).

Spot the difference.

 

I’m not the #1 fan of JB here, but I think he learned from his mistakes, especially in the draft (he is also improved in trades, not so much in FA), so I expect a BPA choice.

Erik Karlsson. 

I love your optimism. 

Hope you’re right. 

 

Trying to answer your question: now he’s projected from 6th to 12th, but I think he’s rising.

Never been a big fan of him, but he's turn around this season has been more than impressive.

Simply huge.

We will keep Beagle and Roussel.  Sutter and Tanev are trade at the draft for picks, or to move up in a round.  

Agree on Sutter, not sure on Tanev.

[Antoine Roussel | #26 | LW]

What a great signing.

 

One of my favourite Canucks' player in recent history.
