Matthew wroteCOLONEichel* was a generational talent. And with Bennett & Ekblad developing, that pick could be the 10th to 15th overall pick.

Lol, two players (one of which isn't an NHLer yet) are gonna move a perennial bottom 2 team up 8-13 spots in 2 seasons? You raped a bottom team for a likely top 3 pick, no need to try to make it look like anything else.

I am a bottom team. Maybe everyone else shouldnt have been demanding Bennett from him for their unproven goaltenders? Markets dictate.

But yeah, i do think he will begin to move up the standings if he holds onto those 2 players.

You're right, they shouldn't have demanded Bennett. The goalie minimum should be changed so bottom teams don't have to give up valuable assets just to avoid a fine.

I agree.

Hate that Scott has to pay so much for a mediocre at best goalie

Shoalzie wroteCOLONThe asking price was high around the league for a backup, let alone a starter. I talked to San Jose about Keumper and Mrazek and Colorado about Talbot along with Anaheim who had Dubnyk and Smith. Those were my three best team options to get a goalie. Scrivens with another a backup might've gotten me to the minimum GP but the price for backups were a bit much and the idea of splitting up Bennett into smaller assets that I can move became an option.

I'll take this hit for trading this pick but my shot at a high pick in '16 and not getting penalized for goalie GP won't be an issue. Plus, I'm safely above the floor and I can focus on making actual trades to work on my lineup and not make desperate survival trades.

CasperX22 wroteCOLONJust sucks seeing Scott do this. I feel bad.

Shoalzie wroteCOLONI wouldn't beat up on Matt too much...he wins the eyeball test of the trade. He preferred the big 3 assets and I settled on this. It's not like I had some mid-to-late 1st rounders I could offer unless I made some other deals. This is kind of where the trade Bennett idea came from but I'm kinda glad I didn't do that. I'd feel better giving up later 1st rounders instead of my potential lottery pick in 2017. I traded the 4th most valuable asset on my team in my view. We'll see what that pick will even be in two years. I'm probably a top 5 pick this year.

Matthew wroteCOLONSo this trade actually turned out pretty fair, tbh...

Scrivens (KHL) + 12th overall in a weak draft
For
Mike Smith ( starter doing decent) + arz 3rd rounder 2016 (Joseph woll)


I'd say a starter + 3rd for mid 1st may actually be a win for shoalzie. Shit. Didn't see this coming. I guess you never know where a first is gonna end up when you grab it 2 years out.
