It's always Sonny in Vancouver?
The title is a lie..but I'm awful at coming up with puns.
Van trades to Minny:
- Olli Juolevi
- 2017 4th OV
in exchange for:
- Jonathan Drouin
- Sonny Milano
- 2018 top 85 pick (read as "3rd round pick")
For Van, we have quite a few defensive prospects but not many young talented forwards. So Drouin is the big piece coming back for me, he's coming off a decent season where he seems to have found his groove.
This accelerates our rebuild, as I don't really want to have a long drawn-out rebuild so if I can make some trades to get young semi-established players in exchange for potentials I'm all for it.
I felt comfortable trading the 4th ov pick as there looks to be a lot of variance in this draft after the top 3ish picks. I also own the 1st OV in this draft and I know I can get a solid player with that pick which helps with the loss of dealing the 4th OV.
Thanks Grant for the talks.
