2014 NHL Draft Thread

Why would Calgary trade Brodie for a 2 nd and 3rd?

They wouldn't, because you don't trade a good young defensemen to move up a couple of spots in the draft, or for a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

I guess Habsy likes providing supporting arguments against what he's arguing for some reason?
 
You guys legitimately think your D is fine and that they're all worth a first +?

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think each of your D is worth? Outside of Rielly and Phaneuf I really don't see any of them worth a first, let alone +.

Not sure how you went from "It will cost Gardiner to move up a few spots" to this.
 
Extrapolation. People are claiming that I am nuts thinking Gardiner is "only" worth a 2nd and a 3rd.

I don't see any other D worth a first on the Leafs aside from Rielly and Phaneuf. Same with the Habs, I don't see any worth it besides Subban and Markov and Markov is borderline now because of age and no contract.
 
Gardiner isn't on the same level as Rielly, but he's not too far off. Both are young, former 1st round picks with blue chip talent.

You don't trade players like that for mid-round draft picks. Ever.

So... how did you get "all of your D are worth a 1st plus"?

A second and third are not "mid-round".

That being said, I wouldn't trade Gardiner for that either, not just yet anyway. All I am saying is that I doubt other GM's would pay more than that.

Sorry, still not helping.

did you think TJ Brodie was maybe traded for a 2nd and 3rd? because that didn't happen as far as I'm aware.

otherwise, still lost here.
 
Interesting to listen to everyone at that press conference today say that our drafting needs to be better. Wonder if Morrison and co are in trouble.

Regardless, this is a pretty big pick for our organization. Need to come out with an impact player.

I was wondering if you genuinely thought a player like TJ Brodie was worth a first.

Music to my ears. Our drafting stinks, and so does our player development for that matter.
