Buds Board Keepers League

To ANA:

Michael Del Zotto

To DAL:

Nick Schmaltz
Linus Soderstrom
2016 3rd (ANA)
2015 7th (ANA)

Confirm.

Del Zotto at just 24 years old was on pace to be a top 20 bbkl d-man this season on fantrax (altho he only played 64 games), and to score a pace above 37 points for the 4th time in his career, while putting up nice periphs. I am happy with this deal, for now. Schmaltz is the first prospect i have moved out since being a gm. he should be a good player, but is likely a few years away from his rookie season.

Anaheim murders this deal

I agree Sure does

Must be real high on those two prospects

offered way more

Is there a need to update the mcdavid trade thread?

Yes

All will depend on where MDZ plays next year and beyond. He seemed like a fit in Philly. Will got 1st round value for him.

no comment.. good thing I don't feel sad for bbkl anymore.. while all my offers are very fair deals

Shoot me your offer.

I think MDZ sucks. He's a product of being in a good situation. As the flyers develop those dmen he'll lose playing time. This is a very fair return imo

Mdz will always have a home in Ottawa
I'll take him Matthew

I don't like anyone who identifies by only initials.

While I have told ya what I thought about MDZ already in depth Matthew. You murdered this deal well done. The fact is he just had an incredible season even if theres some doubts about sustained success.

I understand the sustainability question, but I figure given that he has paced 4 37 point seasons already by 24 yrs old, he will at least put up a few more, and could even improve, given most Dmen dont even enter the league until 23-24 yrs old. He is young enough that I could wait until he slaughters a season and then move him, even if he has a couple down seasons here and there. To me, his possible upside is just as great as his possible downside. And for the price of a player that wont make any impact in the league for 2 or 3 years, that works for me. I also think I could move him for more than i paid before next season begins.

What it comes down too for me is Del Zotto has a higher potential to be an elite BBKL producer than the main piece going the other way, combined with him already being proven that he can play in this league.
