Whatever the best offer he gets is by the time the seasons starts. I don't have enough details to say exactly what that is, but I can assume that whatever the offer is, trade deadline can only be so much better.
My point is, if the offer is Bertucci and a 2nd now, no way it will be Bertucci and 2 1sts at the deadline. Maybe 1.
Best case scenario maybe you can add 5% chance of drafting/developing a top 2-line F or D with the package at the deadline vs the package now.
Deadline you probably get a 1st and a good prospect thrown at you, but teams that throw a 1st at you at the deadline are already in the mix for the playoffs or the cup. Season is already 2 3rds done, and more likely to be later in the round. A very small % chance you could get lucky with a pick now from a team that thinks they are a contender and have a poor season.
I prefer the target future 1sts now or at the deadline. I would do it if any team offered 1 straight up, especially if unprotected.
What is bare minimum? Not sure, it would be based on the best offer I get. I would do it now no matter what as I'm sure he has got offered more than a 2nd and has had discussions with several teams I'm sure all teams are willing to offer more than a 2nd. The differential in odds of picking up impact players with better offers at the deadline are not guaranteed to be better and likely are only a few % higher on paper, end results is all I care about though and the pros of doing it now IMO have a similar positive impact than a slightly better deal at the deadline.
