how so?anton wroteCOLON RNH's offensive potential is high, but his BBKL upside is limited.
Not this year. I don't care if one scout said RNH has the best sense since Gretzky. He is not an impact or a franchise player. Strome could easily be better than him, and along with Karlsson I think Bill could make out like a bandit on this one.SuperMario wroteCOLONI told Bill, it was a no-brainer for him.
But you guys are exaggerating how much he won by. 1st Overalls are worth every inch of the overpayment.
P.S. yes Lee. This is why everyone told you that you made a mistake.
Given what I know now, I'd still do that tradeSuperMario wroteCOLONI told Bill, it was a no-brainer for him.

I don't know why people keep talking about Strome + Karlsson being sent Bill's way lol. I own 6th Overall. Strome is not getting by me. This deal is essentially Karlsson + Zibanejad/Murphy/Hamilton for RNH.Shep wroteCOLONNot this year. I don't care if one scout said RNH has the best sense since Gretzky.

It's also known that while RNH has the highest upside, he also has the highest bust potential.SuperMario wroteCOLONI don't know why people keep talking about Strome + Karlsson being sent Bill's way lol.

And I know everyone in this league loves to play NHL Scout. But if we look at statistics alone/historical drafts where a Center is taken #1 overall especially, If RNH becomes everything he can be as Taylor Hall's Center, I'll make this trade 10 times over , <--- and there is a HIGH likelyhood of this.He has all the tools to be a perfect fit.
DealSuperMario wroteCOLONShep, I agree with you that Karlsson + 7th Overall is a win. But it is being way exaggerated here.
As far as your analysis of RNH is concerned, let's talk in a year when he centers Taylor Hall on one of the best young teams in the NHL. Even if he becomes the Oiler's #1 Center 50% of the time, I make this deal. #1 Centers are very tough to come by.

Again, you could've had all summer to make the moves you made up to this point and you could've had an even better team. Bottom line, you are happy with your team and you are better going forward. I just think the majority of us if we were in your shoes would've waited. You'll be amazed how long this offseason truly is and a lot happens to shift the balance of power. You have from June to September to go from a doormat to a playoff team. You improved a lot in a short amount of time but you held onto the #1 pick and unloaded earlier than most would. I trade my 1st round pick early but that was also when I was a middle of the road team and at the time, the pick was going to be in the middle third. If I held my pick now, I would've waited until now to do something with it.Kezia wroteCOLONNice Bill.
Seeing this kinda makes me wish I held onto it.. but I wouldn't be where I am without that trade.
I concur, I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that, "Strome could easily be better than him (RNH)", but I agree with the general premise. Ryan Nugent Hopkins is not a consensus first in most drafts, perhaps not even top 2.Shep wroteCOLONNot this year. I don't care if one scout said RNH has the best sense since Gretzky.

How did your team go from middle of the road to probably dead last next year? You keep telling me what I should have done, yet my team keeps improving while yours stays the same...I'm not trying to start something Shoalize but to be honest, I'm not turning to you for advice.Shoalzie wroteCOLON
