Strome and Marner are on par with MacKinnon in terms of talent. Would you make the move for Mac?
Points only league. I have a possible move to trade up to 3rd overall, which would give me my choice of Marner, Strome and Klingberg. It's a little pricey, though, so I'm curious what you all think the difference will be between these two and the next tier. The price includes 6th and 15th, plus some later picks. At 6th I would likely have my choice of Barzal, Zacha, Rantanen etc. At 15th, maybe Meier or Conner or Konecny. Most important, though - is it substantially worth it to move up? Are Strome and Marner a big enough step up?
Thanks!

It's a fair offer for Marner.

Points only? Give me Marner. I think he's got a higher upside than Strome. Wouldn't trade him for 6th/15th package.

Umm, say whaaaaaaatttt??
As good as both of these kids are, I do not see them in the same class as MacKinnon. Heck, I feel Drouin is a notch above them in terms of skill.
Although they do not play the same type of game, I can compare them to Yakupov, Galchenyuk and Forsberg in terms of skill/upside.

That's not what the numbers say. Age and scoring -adjusted numbers show Strome and Marner as close to a wash with MacKinnon and Drouin in their draft year NHL equivalent scoring (data from www.theprojectionproject.com).
Player Draft Year -1 NHLe Draft Year NHLe McDavid 43 63 Eichel 36 48 Strome 16 47 Marner 23 49 MacKinnon 29 36 Drouin 19 46 Yakupov 38 40 Galchenyuk 30 46
That's just the hard numbers. Then you've gotta look at the play style itself; for me Marner's game is very translatable to the NHL in that he's defensively very sound and plays very hard.
It's not a crazy view. I'd say that Mac and Drouin are being overrated with respect to the rest of these guys.
(note this "analysis" also neglects age effects of early/late birthdays, which have been shown to be quite relevant)

i'd back up what FHG is saying. Mackinnon brings speed and physicality that 2015ers don't, but skill wise they are right up there. FHG said Marner in particular was very "translatable", which i agree with 100%.
I understand the numbers and projections part, but MacKinnon is not overhyped IMO.
So according to these numbers, I would be crazy to not go after Strome or Marner? The 3rd pick owner wants to deal his pick for a good prospect or an established young player and a later first round pick.
I can offer my 13th overall as well as any prospect or young player from my team in sig.
What would be a
Fair deal IYO?
Thanks FHG

Why not offer the 13th pick and a good prospect like Milano or Scherbak (assuming the team in your signature is who we are dealing with here)? If he is a Habs fan, he may go for Scherbak pretty quickly.

Yup, I couldn't tell which one of those two could be the real deal in the NHL so to play it safe, I took both Marner and Strome in case one of them is a bust.

I'd look to package any of your prospects (let him pick) and the 13th pick, or if he's got a bone for him, Niederreiter.
If I were the other GM, I wouldn't even consider it, so maybe the right way to go is to ask him who he likes and let him have his pick?
