[oil.888]

Hey guys,

Here is a return I can get for Bjorkstrand. What do you think?

Bjorkstrand
vs
Turcotte
Brannstrom
First sep22 (around the 18th pick)

Full dynasty cap space.

Thanks!!

I find that return for Bjorkstrand uninspiring.

I don't believe Brannstrom will ever become a Top Pair D.
A #3/#4 D with some PP opportunities maybe, but I've always felt strongly he would be a bust since his first training camp in Ottawa.

To me this all hangs on what you project Turcotte to be.
He's lost quite a bit of his shine since he was drafted.
He's got a few injuries, didn't show much progression in the AHL and has been trending downward.
Dobberprospects still projects him as a 2C at the NHL level, but he's far from a sure bet.

If you add the late 1st round pick then I guess the value is kinda fair, but I don't see any future solid building blocks for a Dynasty team.

Bjorkstrand is a very good player in a tough situation in Columbus.
I wouldn't sell low.


Easy pass for me.

Fair enough, thanks for answering! I guess I see a possibility in Turcotte moving elsewhere and eventually reaching a production close to Bjorkstrands' so I don't mind as much taking a flyer on Brann... Also, I think even a late rounder can get me a pretty solid player. To give you a reference point from the recent years around that rank : Edvinsson, Podkolzin, Jarvis, Krebs, Bennet, McCann... (also Ryan Dzingel, but not sure this proves my point hahaha)
Also taking Bjorkstrand's points out puts me in a better position for the lottery lol
