Thread: Pull the trigger
Traditionnally, it cost a good prospect + high draft pick (1st and 2nd round picks) to get these kind of player that you listed (You can also argue that they could be on the decline, like Sagecoll said).

Alas, BOS doesnt really have any of these 2 things:

- Their prospect pool is really shallow. Apart from Lysell and a small handful of other guys, there's not much value there. But that's to be expected when you had a long Stanley Cup window like BOS had.
- With only 5 picks in the first 3 round for the next (None in 2024), there is not much there too. The question that BOS management have to ask themselves is: "Do we wanna trade our 2025 1st round pick, and chase a rapidly-closing SC window, or garnish our prospect pool a bit so that, when we enter a rebuild phase, it'll be less rough?"

Realistically, I think BOS have to give one of their high-value player to receive one of these guys (Maybe Carlo? Maybe DeBrusk? Maybe Ullmark?)

One way or another, BOS futures doesn't look all that good for the next few years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Linlan</b></div><div>You’re right, unless a prospect immediately steps into the NHL and becomes a Calder nominee then they’re washed up</div></div>

You do know that Kravtsov had a really hard time to adjust to the NHL, hell even in the AHL (5 goals in 35 games). He still have upside but that's gonna depend on him, and only him.

Chytil could develop into a really good 2C that's gonna be is max upside, he's not that elite.

CAR picks is probably gonna end up between 16th and 22th overall, so you could pick a good player but probably not a franchise or an elite player.

So, to recap: an elusive prospect who can't (for the moment) crack an NHL lineup, a B+ prospect who could develop into a good 2C and mid/lower tier 1st round pick

For

One of the best 2-way center in the game with an excellent offensive upside, who plays an average of 20 minutes per game, plays PP, PK and who's pretty good in the faceoff circle. Oh and he's also the leader of that team in terms of leadership.

So no, Dale Tallon's not gonna trade is captain for that kind of package

Thread: Would you do this move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Fran615</b></div><div>Basically, you're throwing in Drouin, who is at an all-time low value. Ikonen is Habs 20th prospect. Lekhonen is fast becoming a 4th liner, and sprinkle some 2nd round picks in there to try and make it more appealing. I'm a Habs fan, but that trade proposal is insulting for Pittsburgh.

BUT, I like trying to get Malkin though.</div></div>

The basis of this trade is potential.

Drouin: Sure is value is really low but he's only 24 yo and has a lot of talent, he could be a nice winger for Crosby
Ikonen: Sure Habs has a lot of prospect, but Ikonen could be one to sacrifice. He was injured for the majority of the season but he came back strong in the Liiga (10 pts in 13 games)
Lekhonen: I don't know why a lot of habs fans say he's not good. He's a hardworker, has some offensive upside and he's responsible defensively. Luck wasn't on his side this year (lots of post, broken stick and missed opportunity). He'll never be a top winger but has potential to be a solid 3rd winger.

And finally, these lasts years, 2nd round picks seem to be more popular than 1st round
