Re: Byram vs Dobson
I ain't trading Kryou for any of these guys. I know there is a lot of smoke but Dobson, Nemec, and Mercer are not the guys. The Islanders have nothing I want and if we are talking about Kyrou to the Devils, Hischer is the ask
Re: Byram vs Dobson
From a talent/production perspective I get it, but he's only got 2 years left on his deal and is UFA.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:34 pm I ain't trading Kryou for any of these guys.

How about Hischier+Nemec? Do we need to add, or is that fair value for you?

If the Blues are semi shopping him, I suspect his value would be lower than people think it should be.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:34 pm I ain't trading Kryou for any of these guys.

Kyrou hasn’t shown a lot of consistency (goal consistency not included), but to be fair he has played on an average at best scoring line a lot of the time. He could make a trade look bad if traded to a deeper team with more legitimate threats.
Is he coachable? Likable? Self-centered? Defensive? Do the boys love him.
These are things Berube talks to his boys/consults about if his name comes up.

Re: Byram vs Dobson
Yeah my guess is his value on the market would underwhelm many. He’s a huge investment with lots to prove still.

Re: Byram vs Dobson
K-Money has consistently scored more goals and played more games than Nico while making roughly the same amount on what is going to be (with cap rising) a very good contract for the remaining 6 years of his deal that go through his prime, whereas Nico has 2 years left and then will be a UFA asking for more than Kyrou makes.theograce wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:22 pmWell…there hasn’t been consistency and there has been public inner turmoil with himPierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:19 pmSo should the ask for Kyroubluetunehead wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:14 pmThe cost for Hischier alone would be sky high.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:48 pmBlues would have to addzamadoo wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:43 pmFrom a talent/production perspective I get it, but he's only got 2 years left on his deal and is UFA.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:34 pm I ain't trading Kryou for any of these guys.

It’s not about goals. It’s about direction of franchise. Can you build around him. Can you win with him? Is he built for the playoffs. What’s his fire like now that he got paid.

When Kyrou can play center then you can compare them.zamadoo wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:33 pmK-Money has consistently scored more goals and played more games than Nico while making roughly the same amount on what is going to be (with cap rising) a very good contract for the remaining 6 years of his deal that go through his prime, whereas Nico has 2 years left and then will be a UFA asking for more than Kyrou makes.theograce wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:22 pmWell…there hasn’t been consistency and there has been public inner turmoil with himPierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:19 pmSo should the ask for Kyroubluetunehead wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:14 pmThe cost for Hischier alone would be sky high.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:48 pmBlues would have to addzamadoo wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:43 pmFrom a talent/production perspective I get it, but he's only got 2 years left on his deal and is UFA.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:34 pm I ain't trading Kryou for any of these guys.

Re: Byram vs Dobson
While I agree and considered this on my own, it's not about comparing them as much as assessing their value, contracts included. I brought up goals bc consistency was mentioned. I don't expect NJ would actually trade Hischier anyways, but I also don't think Kyrou has some limited value due to being inconsistent or a big question over future production. The argument against trading him is that he's a known asset.bluetunehead wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:44 pmWhen Kyrou can play center then you can compare them.zamadoo wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:33 pmK-Money has consistently scored more goals and played more games than Nico while making roughly the same amount on what is going to be (with cap rising) a very good contract for the remaining 6 years of his deal that go through his prime, whereas Nico has 2 years left and then will be a UFA asking for more than Kyrou makes.theograce wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:22 pmWell…there hasn’t been consistency and there has been public inner turmoil with himPierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:19 pmSo should the ask for Kyroubluetunehead wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 16:14 pmThe cost for Hischier alone would be sky high.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:48 pmBlues would have to addzamadoo wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:43 pmFrom a talent/production perspective I get it, but he's only got 2 years left on his deal and is UFA.Pierre McGuire wrote: ↑26 Jun 2025 15:34 pm I ain't trading Kryou for any of these guys.

I'm still looking for more info on Nemec, and whether Nemec+Mercer would be worth Kyrou.
