Come draft Day

Ott : l. brown, Davidson, 2021 2nd, 2020 3rd

For the 7th to 9th overall pick in 2020

Then

Ott : nyi 1st (currently 15th overall), 2020 2nd (2nd highest), 2020 2nd (3rd highest), chlapic

Njd : 10th overall pick in 2020

New Jersey has the talent as is plus a top 6 this year already and look too be adding a plethora of picks this year too. Sacrificing 5spots from 10th overall to add 2 more 2md rounders and a decent prospect would be right up their alley.


And Logan brown does still carry more than enough value that he's at least equal or greater value to the 15th overall pick sens have. Adding next year's Ottawa 2nd, and a 3rd this year should bring him to 10th overall value, and Davidson is a solid prospect in his own rights that should up his value even more to get this deal done.

Ottawa wins lottery with San Jose pick but moves down to 3rd with their own pick.

Lafreniere at 1
Byfield / Stutzle at 3
Raymond / Drysdale / Rossi at 7
Drysdale / Rossi / Holtz / Mercer / askarov at 10


The order the draft picks above is priority order depending who's available at the time of each pick. (Eg. Pick 7 if ramond and Drysdale are off the board then Rossi is the pick)

I’m not sure about Brown value at this point. I think he has the potential to become a big top 6 center that plays with an edge, he has to bring it to the NHL tho. Hasn’t been able to do it yet on one of the worse teams in the nhl. His value might be close to Jesse Pulijujarvi imo.

I don’t think Brown has hit Puijarvi level yet but I also don’t think he’s worth that high of a pick either even with the adds.

Also you mentioned the 7-9 range, the question is which teams they are, their needs and close to competitive level. If it’s a pure rebuilder with needs at C who is so far away, they may consider what you’re offering but would likely want more or more quality vs quantity.

If it’s a playoff bubble team, they might want a mix of picks/ NHL ready players (that fill a need)

If it’s a contender, they want impact roster players or they will keep their young Top 6 potential player who can be cost controlled.

That’s my analysis on that part.

The 2nd Trade you posted is more realistic as it’s a swap of firsts plus adds. Just once again depends on who’s on the board and NJ’s interest in that.

Logan Brown ( basically a 2nd round pick ) + a 2nd and 3rd for a top 10 pick? No way. 2nd trade isn’t awful.

Brown might be worth a bit more then Pul but if so it doesn’t really add up tho. Both same draft, Puli has debatably been more successful in the nhl. Idk I feel like Pul is a good player he might become a Panarin type player but he needs to realize that you can either make excuses or get result not both.

I love when ridiculous trades lead to a rebuild via a single draft year. HAHA! So very plausible.
