Dragicevic is on Prince Albert with Mrsic and I watched plenty of those games. Difference maker back there. Stepped up in a lot of big moments, seems to embrace those. All year I've been kinda "Washington's system I'm straight envious of, but Seattle has some quality out there" and Dragicevic / Price /Rehkopf / Villneuve as a layer under Berkley Catton, who is great, is why.
Kyrou for Catton is unlikely given how glittering a prospect he is and on our side his lack of NHL track record. If the #8 was in play as an idea then it suggests the Blues are looking for an impact center in multiple concepts. There is so much smoke around Kyrou the Blues are definitely exploring every option. I could believe a world where they trade one of Beniers or Wright. Would love to snag Dragicevic if that happens.
Neither one is worth Kyrou in a one for one deal. Seattle has plenty of chips to make a deal work, but it can't be one for one. They'd have to add something.

Re: Shane wright-- matty benier
Yep, Seattle has the exact reverse of us. They have a surplus of center men and very few wingers. They are young but have been average so far so their trade value has taken a small hit. If you are trading a 70 point forward and Wright is the return, he isn't enough they would have to add.zamadoo wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 14:02 pmIf I had two or more Dvorskys no Kyrous, maybe.skilles wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 13:57 pmI would disagree, I would not trade Dvorsky even up for Kyrou....would you?kimzey59 wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 10:57 amAt least right now; all they have going for them is position factor and Draft pedigree.

Re: Shane wright-- matty benier
Yeah, but then I question where else he's going to find a better deal than Shane Wright. Seattle has that leverage, the same as Army is leveraging where else they can find a Jordan Kyrou. Total value right now might not be even, so I agree he should be asking for more, but if Seattle won't budge I'd still rather he take the deal.TheJackBurton wrote: ↑30 Jun 2025 14:26 pmWould I be upset if it were 1 for 1?
