Carolina Trades
Semin
1st Round Pick 2015 (5th Overall)
Toronto Trades
Phaneuf
1st Round Pick 2015 (25th Overall)
4th Round Pick 2015 (95th Overall)
Thoughts?

Hurricanes pass Phaneuf > Semin does not make up the difference of moving up to the 5th overall pick.

For some reason I thought Toronto traded Clarkson to Carolina for Semin already.
08 May 2015 20:59:49
nvm, I was thinking of Horton

Phaneuf and Semin cancel each other out so it's essentially a late 1st and a 4th rounder for 5th overall. Let me ask you this: if your team held 5th overall would you make that trade?
Didn't think so. And why? Because it's an awful trade.

@Chirp Phaneufs value is way higher than Semins but yeah still a bad trade for the Canes

Is his, though?
Phanuef is a more valuable player, but his contract is the same and longer. If he goes downhill after a season, suddenly it's far worse. And no matter the premise, he doesn't warrant being the lead in a trade for 5th overall.

Ya but Chirp, Semin is already way worse. His trade value right now, is way lower, so Phaneuf > Semin. The trade is terrible in itself, but your point Chirp is wrong.

so by Chirp's logic no one on a long term deal is worth anything as the future is unknown. yea, seems about right. LOL
