[Monk]

confirmed

[Scott]

It's funny.. this deal goes done and everyone only wants to talk about my deal. But ftr, if Malkin returns to form I like it a bunch for Shiv. But that's the risk you take and Duchene is a not bad replacement.

[Shep]

I think this deal is huge for Shiv... Take away the pick and it's fair IMO. Adding the pick is a sure win for Shiv.

[Robin Hood]

Four 100 Point guys for next year aint bad

[Nick]

Massive win for Shiv. Here's to Malkin-Staal-Tangradi being a monster line next year

-> behind Jagr-Crosby-Neal

[The BBKL Insider]

huge deal

I like it for Shiv

[Robin Hood]

I have a feeling Nick is going to take the guy I want at #6

Yes he is, he's gona take Ryan Strome wich I bet is the player you want.

[Shep]

WRONG

I like this for Luke, I'd much rather Duchene at under 4 million, than Malkin at over 8, the pick doesn't mean much to me, because as many of you know I have no confidence in this draft, top end or otherwise. I would take Boyes and the extras over that pick everyday of the week, and twice on Sundays.

I definitely agree with the valuation you give the pick... hence me not really thinking twice about trading my 5th & 6th overall picks. I'm going to reach pretty heavily @ 10 come draft day but it's the player I want.

And Geno's knee is fucked.. but hopefully it works out for both teams.

youre generalizing this draft. im going to draft a gem with #7.

If you draft Dougie Hamilton I'll agree with you

[Lee]

I put the odds of Shiv using that pick at about 0 percent.

[Robin Hood]

I won't say who i'm drafting but this concept of salary making Duchene worth more than Malkin is retarded. By that argument Duchene > Ovechkin too.

Agreed lol.. maybe 0.5%

Ovechkin's a lot better then Malkin both offensively and in terms of h2h.. also, he hasn't had a major injury like Malkin has.. I really don't see Malkin being the same player for a couple of seasons.. if ever.

Duchene & Malkin are very comparable in terms of h2h

Astute observation tips.

Ovechkin at 9+M regardless of what you say about his hits/pims is worth less than Duchene by Kareem's argument, especially given his recent downturn in goals and points.

To your other point about Malkin never being the same is so bogus lol. Malkin will crack 90 points with ease if he plays 75+ games.
