[anton]

[CAM]

OK Paul. See ya later.

[Lee]

id probably give CHI 1st for gagner

I'd consider it with some decent adds.

[kimmer]

First public lowball offer by anton. Surprising

[Lee]

Click the spreadsheet, nice and purty: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub ... utput=html

Actively shopping and discussing trades until around 6 PM EST today. Will respond quickly to any offers.

9th overall for gagner easily gets done in the off-season.

[Lee]

Not enough.

[anton]

chi 1st + matt frattin

[Arian The Insider]

Anton doesn't fuck around with his public offers

[Lee]

I paid more than that for Gagner.

Griffin Reinhart + Mikael Backlund + Alex Khokhlachev for Gagner and a 3rd.

but why/how because gagner himself was a 6th overall. Why a 9th overall pick this year which might be a prospect that could see NHL in 2016 be of more value than a guy drafted out of much better position, who played NHL starting from his rookie season til now producing

[Nick]

9th overall could be Logan Coutuer (who was #9 in Sam's year)


or Jacob Trouba (last year)
Dion Phaneuf in '03


Sam Gagner is a known asset, roughly a 40-50pt scorer, any first rounder is exciting

not to me

i can't hold onto a 1st rounder if my life depended on it.

Or they could be Josh Bailey, James Sheppard or Brian Lee..

[Nick]

Sam Gagner somewhere in the middle ....

[Lee]

So Nick, which assets are you willing to sell for a pick similar to where they were taken?

I'll take one Marcus Foligno, please.
Hell, I might even give you my currently 11th overall pick for shitty Claude Giroux, taken 22nd.

[anton]

I paid more than that for Gagner.

Griffin Reinhart + Mikael Backlund + Alex Khokhlachev for Gagner and a 3rd.

this is my favorite justification for turning down good offers.

i fucked up, so now im refusing fair value for him forever.

My thoughts

[Lee]

I don't think I fucked up. I paid what I thought he was worth, as did everyone else in the thread.

those are the two high-water marks of their spot selection, odds of doing better is basically zero.


There are some okay odds of getting a superior player to Sam Gagner with the 9 spot in this years draft. I was responding to Paul's commented of active #6 pick for future #9 pick. Dunno why you came back directly at me when Anton and Billy seem to be the ones saying that's a fair offer.


I'm not supporting 1:1, or Matt Fratiin +9, I didn't weigh in on it... just saying there is at least *some* potential for that piece to become the better piece. Recently the names at #9 spot are reassuringly good. Also a chance that it becomes a career AHLer. There is safety that Sam is a 2nd line Center. He's playing and contributing right now, no 8 month to 3 year wait.
