i think that it is obvious that the Pats will be sellers this year. What are the assets left.
Carter Ashton
Jordan Weal
Brandon Davidson
Garret Mitchell
Other teams may want to upgrade a 20 with Frazee and Reddin has been better than I thought he was.
I would hate to see the Pats lose Weal. He does have to potential to play for another 2 years. But, if the price is right ...
Garrett Mitchell has more value playing for the Pats than anywhere else. heart and soul guy with limited offensive potenial. But, could contribute to a playoff team ...
Again Brandon Davidson, should most likely be back next year. Steady d-man are hard to come by. I can see him as a piece that the Pats would build around next year.
The big chip seems to be Ashton. I can see the potential and maybe it is the team he is on, but he is inconsistant (just like everyone else). I think he would be better served as a 2nd line player. There is no way on earth that the Pats would be able to recover what they gave up for him. the Pats, quite frankly, paid too much. I have no idea why Balog is playing in Weyburn and not in Lethbridge, but he is having a great start to the year. Balog was/is a prime prospect. Never mind the top 4 pick that Lethbridge will get this year.
As I said, there is no way that anyone will give a 1st round pick for Ashton. Unless Lang holds onto him and a contender has injury issues at the deadline. Always a possibility, I guess. I also can't see him going to an eastern team (unless they want to give up the above mentioned 1st rounder).
Here is my proposal:
Regina sends Carter Ashton and a 2011 6th round pick to Portland for Taylor Leier and Portland's 2011 2nd round pick and 2012 5th round pick.
The Pats need to upgrade their 16 and 17 year old prospects (the 15 year olds are first class). Taylor Leier is a 16 year old forward that is from Saskatoon. In my opinion, he has a huge offensive upside. This trade gives the Pats a player that can play now and a chance to stock pile picks.
Thoughts???
