SilentSam Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 In return to Buffalo or Seattle for the 1st or 2nd overall? How far up could we go? As Demko seems to solidify a lengthy career as an elite NHL Goalie, and knowing that the years ahead will offer other back ups with high caliber experience through Free Agency, perhaps this is the time to move our potential, for another teams potential. Adding the 9th pick with Dipietro, should raise a few eyebrows with other teams scouts. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzipunch Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Absolutely. I have no problem with that. Miley is probably our top prospect at the moment but i have a ton of faith we can draft a replacement and silvos has a ton of potential. Dont know what buffalo thinks of mikey tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I think we could do that deal with Detroit at 6. I don't see how it helps us though, in that scenario. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JB is convinced on either mcT or Clarke and still available to be their highest rank guy why not? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieCanuckFan Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I doubt you’d be able to move up more than a few spots without adding more to that package for Seattle or Buffalo to bite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Coconuts Posted June 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) We'd have to give up a lot more than that. Might have the makings of a package to jump higher, but jumping from 9 into the top 3 would likely harm us more than help us given what it'd cost. Particularly given there's more uncertainty regarding this year's top 10 then there'd usually be given how Covid's mucked things up.

I agree that probably gets us to 6, which gives us a few more options. I bet you'd get one of Hughes, Clarke or Eklund there. That's a pretty high cost though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I think MDP has some value, but nowhere near where some people think. He's essentially unproven at the NHL level and while he's had some success at the AHL level - he's played less than 50 games total of professional hockey and he missed basically an entire year of actual game-opportunities unfortunately. If the situation were reversed would you take another franchise's unproven goalie prospect and their 9th for our 1oa, 2nd, or 3rd? I certainly wouldn't. Where we're sitting at 9oa in a basically consensus 'average' draft is not the year we move up in my view - the cost won't equal the return. Stay the course, draft BPA (hopefully a defenceman or a natural center) and don't rock the boat in terms of overzealous UFA signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nergish Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Guys, I like Mikey and think he's borderline underrated as a goaltending prospect... but he has little to no value. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We OWN our AHL affiliate but we let the Blues goalie(prospects) take some starts instead of Dipietro. Like wtf? We better be getting some kind of "favor" from the Blues in the future.

King Heffy Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Better to keep developing him with the goal of a solid tandem with Demko. Need to have your backup able to play 30 games or so in today's league. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering goalies already are hard to get value from in trades... His CHL performance is notable, but not enough to warrant any sort of return. He's worth about a 5th-6th rounder right now, tbh. Worth far more to us than he is to any other team. Not a trade chip when talking about moving up draft spots in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think youre wrong about that. Top prospects do have value. He was invited to be on team canada. You think they just add bums to the team? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydzik Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 We’re really sitting in a sweet spot at 9 we’re gonna get one of the elite players and will be an easy pick for Benning it’s not worth giving him up in this kind of draft and where we sit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
