I would rather have the 2nd than Poitras. I wasn't big on Poitras.
I would rather have Lohrei than Whitecloud because of the difference in age and there may be more upside there.
So kinda even there. I don't give much weight to the prospect the Flames got - he's unsigned and a long shot.
I liked the idea of the Boston deal because of the possible inclusion of the higher 1st this year, from the Toronto pick. However, Friedman seems very sure it wasn't in the deal. So it was probably one of their 2 picks next year, their own or Florida. I probably would prefer one of those over the Vegas pick as I think it has a better chance of being higher.
So based on that, I would give a slight edge to the reported Bruins deal as best we understand it, but it's not a massive difference. Again some of this is because I wasn't as high on Poitras as others. Just never saw it with that guy, including at the WJCs.
Of all the rumored deals the most attractive one was Danielson+1st, but who knows how true that ever was.
