Thread: Home town kid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YesThisIsFlo</b></div><div>I feel like the 3rd would be going the opposite way in the Colton trade, but I like the player.

I also feel like Colton and Severson are getting a bit underpaid, its probably not realistic enough there. I imagine Colton is more like 4 mil, and Severson more like 6.</div></div>

In my mind Beauvilier is a better player than Colton especially at 50% retained. Colton is a year older than Beauvilier and Beauvilier has consistently produced more on the islanders. Could be a cheap option for Tampa top six and be a 50+ point two way winger. Canucks need a centre and Tampa needs cheep value players. Plus Van throws on a d prospect who could benefit from a change of scenery.

My comparison for the Colton deal was JT Comphers 4 year deal, and I think 5.25 is more than reasonable for Severson who was a third pairing d man on the devils this year

Thread: Canucks PK and Defensive Rebui
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Just a couple of questions. First, who would be dumb enough to send a 3rd for Dermott, let alone only his RFA rights? You said it yourself, that he is a 7/8 dman. Second question, why is Seattle adding a 2nd to Borgen? It’s not like Hoglander and Rathbone have the high of value right about now, as last I checked they were somewhat struggling at the NHL level. Seems to me like that pick should be heading the other way.</div></div>

You’re probably right about Dermott, he’s been injured the last couple season so a 4th is probably more accurate. Could definitely see some teams taking a chance on him though, especially a team like Philly where he’ll get lots of deployment.

As for the Borgen trade, Borgen is still just a bottom pairing d man, nothing too special. Hoglander has some of the most pedigree out of his draft class at the NHL level. In any redraft he’s a top 20 pick. He had 27 points in 56 games and has show he can become a top 6 player. He’s in the AHL this year to dominate and develop further not because he can’t play in the NHL.

Rathbone does not belong in the AHL, he was the most productive AHL d man last year. In a more defensive system like Seattle his flaws would be covered by the team structure and his partner, the Canucks just don’t have that. Could be a bottom pair PP2 quarterback back next year.

Seattle is cap strapped and Hoglander and Rathbone could be cheap and effective assets next year. I’d say a second is reasonable
