Lindros was the best player involved in his trade but it's hard to argue with cups the Nordiques/Avs won using the pieces they got by trading him. I think there's a couple of ways of looking at it, which applies to any era, which team got the best player and which team did the most with what they got? THE classic overpayment. I think Philly liked having Lindros however. Can you name another example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 If we don't win the 1st or 2nd overall pick, I'd defiinitely consider trading down. There is a big drop off of talent after the top 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaerToBo Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Only one I would do is for Tyler Jost, kid is unreal. He was a teamate of Boeser and produced solid numbers. We're looking for skill at center and he provides that. Him and Bo doen the middle for the next decade is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adarsh Sant Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 12 hours ago, hammertime said: In each of my proposed trades there is a high upside player involved that could very well surpass Vilardi/Mittelstadt at the NHL level. We could very well be getting paid to receive the best player in these deals. Neither Vilardi or Mittelstadt show elite NHL upside IMO players beneath them aren't far off the talent drop between 3rd/4th and 20th isn't overwhelming enough to sour me on the idea. Then why would any other team accept these trades? You gotta think from their perspective too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I think I'd take Peter Forsburg over Lindros everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
