Super smooth trade. Enjoy Ricky Raks.

Ok one lesson for jimmer
Never trade a 1st rounder (ESPECIALLY your own... Lol) for a player that has played 18 in the nhl... God

[Lee]

Raks is considered a top 30 prospect. He's really good.

[Sensfanjosh]

Rakell is nice, but 10th overall is nicer IMO. Meh.

[brockbirds]

I can gamble on a player breaking into the NHL, or I can gamble on a junior 2-3 years away from breaking into the NHL. I'm happier with the safer gamble at this stage, especially after Fiala was off the board.

I'm not sure I understand how this makes a difference though. Value is in the position of the pick, no? Not the original owner of the pick?

[Lee]

Virtanen for Rakell pretty much.

[The BBKL Insider]

at this point i'd take Rakell over Virtanen, fair deal IMO

high risk/high reward

[kimmer]
