(proposal) Van-Arz if we win the lottery


Recommended Posts

So I went to the nhl draft simulator and on my 3rd attempt we won Matthews. Arizona picks at 7, so lets work out a trade so that they can get a hometown hero in Matthews and we can really kickstart our rebuild.

 

TO VAN

OEL

Domi

7th OA (top d prospect)

 

TO ARZ

1st OA (Matthews)

Vey's rights

Weber's rights

 

If Benning gets Boeser signed I can see him making the jump early like Horvat did, id give him until about christmas before he gets a full time spot, unless he really impresses at camp. I see Boeser as a very mature person just like Horvat, something tells me they are future line mates. So by then I will also assume McCann and Virtanen are back up so here is how I see our roster

 

Sedin Sedin Hansen

Baertschi Sutter McCann

Domi Horvat Boeser

Gaunce Granlund Virtanen

Etem, Dorsett

 

OEL Tryamkin

Hamhuis/Edler Tanev

Hutton Sbisa

Pedan

 

Miller 

Markstrom

Instead of Domi maybe Strome?  

 

and tbh, I would get matthews. We need a franchise center 

Our D will be solid in terms of future. We would have OEL, Tryamkin, Hutton, Tanev, plus a top Dman that we pick 7th, possibly Chychrun if we're lucky.

True, but how often are you gonna get the chance of getting a Mcdavid like player. I mean Matthews has similar skill to Mcdavid just maybe watered down a little. Know what a mean? xD

TBH Horvat seems to be a franchise center to me. He is our Bergeron, so what he dont score like McDavid, although he does look like he has potential to get 70+ points a year. Our D is our biggest problem, if we can get 2 major pieces like OEL and one of the top 3 Dmen in this years draft, plus a very talented player in Domi who will be amazing along side Horvat, if we get all this for Matthews, we take it IMHO. Matthews is great but he isn't McDavid.

Right now here is how I see it

 

Future forwards

Horvat

Boeser

McCann

Virtanen

Gaunce

Granlund

Etem

Vey

Rodin?

Grenier?

Cassels?

Zhukenov?

Jasek?

Gaudette?

 

Future D

Tryamkin

Hutton

Subban?

Brisboise?

Pedan?

Larsson?

Olsen?

 

Goalies

Demko

Markstrom

 

This is how I would build a team:

 

Get young top 6 talent (4/6)

Get top 4 young Dmen (2/4)

Get a franchise goalie (1/1)

 

 

Forwards are easier to project and trade for/sign. Get the 2 Dmen we need and then work on the rest of the forwards.

 

We need to start building our Dcore, the forward and goaltending core are a lot further ahead.

Horvat won't get 70 points playing alongside the Etems and Hansens we are currently plugging away in our top 6.

They're not even in the same league. That's like comparing Mario Lemieux to Mike Modano. Modano was an incredible player, but nothing like Mario.

If I'm Arizona I wouldn't even think about moving Ekman-Larsson, he's the backbone of their team and a rare D man who's Elite and only getting better. They have no other D men in the system to replace him and their D would be horrible without him, replacing him would be nearly impossible and not worth it. Don't trade your best player for an unproven center whom you don't REALLY need. 

Dylan Strome is their future No. 1 C and they also have other fantastic young talents at center with top six upside in C. Dvorak, Merkley, & R. MacInnis, and they just picked up another young solid center in 2013 1st rounder Conner Bleackley, from the Boedker trade. Plus their 2012 1st round pick Henrik Samuelsson who is a natural Center and is another player with top six upside.

Moving Ekman-Larsson for Matthews would be very silly IMO. Coyotes should draft Juolevi, he'd be the perfect fit and piece to add and the perfect type of D man for them.

How do you view Matthews' potential? I just don't understand the hype around Matthews...

Some people compare him and even go as far to saying that he is better than Jack Eichel.

Some hockey analysts call him a generational talent... and yet others say that he will be a good franchise player (which he most likely will be), I just wonder whether his ceiling will be anywhere close to either McDavid or Eichel.
