On the Makar deal, I consider him to be an elite asset and a bit of a unicorn in terms of what he can do from the blueline. I have no idea what his upside is. But I have found the peak of a players value is when they have at least one year remaining on their entry deal.
In terms of the assets I got back
- Lucas Raymond is the key piece. I think he has superstar potential
- Though I'm not a fan of this upcoming draft, I should be able to get a good player at 6 (or wherever the pick ends up)
- The Buffalo pick is another bullet in the chamber for a chance at the elite talent at the high end of the draft next year
- And then this is a buy low move on Hart, who I drafted and still believe in. Otherwise he's a cheap backup
To the Wild:
6th overall pick (lotto pending)
Buff 1 2022
Lucas Raymond
Carter Hart
