What would it take to move up to 7?
Please, don't say Kyrou in the trade.
His value is low.

His NTC has something to say about it as well.

Don’t know but we have more than enough to sweeten the pot to get them to drop 4 spots.

I know you don't know. I don't either.
But, what is your opinion on what it would it would take?

Typical draft pick compensation would be pick 7 for picks 11 and a 2nd rounder. But the Blues don’t have their 2nd this year or next (2027 2nd went to Anaheim for Fowler) and I doubt Seattle would be too interested in waiting for our 2028 2nd. This would likely mean adding a player or prospect of around that value. I’d offer Kaskimaki but I bet they’d want one of Stenberg or Lindstein instead. Or maybe they’d be interested in either Fischer or Ralph? Seattle would seem to need defense more but hard to say.

This of course would all be premised on the assumption Seattle would even be remotely interested in moving down. Odds are they won’t be.

To me, the Colorado 1st that we have qualifies as a 2nd....
I just think it'll take more.

11 + 31 would be good value for pick 7 tbh. It’s just a moot point unless Seattle wants to move down and teams rarely do. But it has happened enough that we have some historical precedence of what it’d likely take.

And most of us keep saying pick 31 but it’s really pick 31 at the worst. I was hoping the Wild would pull off the upset which would’ve made it pick 27 but that appears unlikely now. Assuming they beat the Wild, that pick will end up between 29-31.

I will be floored if it's not pick 30 or 31. I'm not 100% the Avs are going to lose a game before the SC Finals. Maybe MN gets one at home. I don't have a lot of confidence in Vegas or ANA giving the Avs any kind of series.

Unfortunately, I tend to agree. But this game is funny sometimes too. Really don’t want to see the Avs win the Cup but they’re the absolute favorite at this point IMO.

Was simply pointing out that that draft spot isn’t locked in like 11 and 15 are…but really, there’s not a huge difference in value between picks 28-31. A 4 pick difference between 1 and 5? Huge. A 4 pick difference between 28-31. Not nearly as much.

Totally got what you were pointing out.

I’m not ready to declare the Avs the absolute favorite. Canes look every bit as good as the Avs do right now. Assuming this is the final it has a chance to be a hell of a series.

I thought I saw a statistic where it took 7 Games for the Hurricanes to trail in a game in these playoffs.

One more win and they’ll do something no other NHL team has done before, sweep the First 2 Rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs

The Canes have been outstanding. There is always the possibility that their 3rd round demons come into play again (they’re 1-16 in the Conference Finals since they won the Cup in ‘06) but I don’t feel like they should have a problem with Montreal or Buffalo. Both have looked very uneven at times.
