Similar deal to Cutter Gauthier I would say, which was Drysdale and a 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find an article with it directly quoting Tocchet, but I recall a past interview where Tocchet mentioned that. Saying how he saw the difference from before Podkolzin was in the AHL compared to him after and how he was more composed with the puck and making the right plays and that his hockey IQ had gone up big time.

VegasCanuck Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I would probably throw our first round pick for next year at Winnipeg for this kid. If we assume that we're likely to be picking somewhere between 20 - 30 for the next few years, this kid is progressing pretty well on development, we have no idea how our next first round picks will do. Would probably offer Winnipeg next seasons 1st as well as 2026 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 Bruins, Wild Among Top Suitors For Rutger McGroarty June 28th, 2024 at 5:32pm CST • By Josh Erickson News broke last week that Jets 2022 first-round pick Rutger McGroarty was seeking a trade, with most assuming that a deal could come across the finish line as soon as a few days ago so Winnipeg could recoup a first-rounder in this year’s draft. It hasn’t happened yet, but there’s still a strong chance he could be moved as the first round kicks off in less than an hour. Among the teams with significant interest are the Wild, The Athletic’s Michael Russo relays. The Bruins have also held “ongoing talks with Winnipeg regarding McGroarty, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reported last night. McIntyre added that the Blue Jackets, Islanders and Sabres have also checked in but didn’t use as strong language to describe their interest. Winnipeg selected McGroarty 14th overall in 2022, one pick later than the selection Minnesota holds this year (No. 13). The idea of a one-for-one swap makes sense. As for Boston, they ended up back with their own first-rounder (No. 25) after it traveled to Detroit and then Ottawa in the past 15 months, recouping it as part of the return for sending 2023 Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark to the Senators. They’d likely need to add an additional pick or an equivalent asset in the form of a roster player or prospect in order to land McGroarty. McGroarty, 20, was one of the best players in college hockey this season. Suiting up in his sophomore campaign at the University of Michigan, he finished top ten in NCAA-wide scoring with 52 points (16 goals, 36 assists) in 36 games. He was a nominee for the Hobey Baker Award for the top player in collegiate hockey and captained the United States to a gold medal at the 2024 World Juniors, scoring five goals and four assists in seven games. But he wasn’t given a clear role on Winnipeg’s roster next season, and as such, he’s decided to return to Michigan for his junior season rather than play for their AHL affiliate in Manitoba. Of course, he could decide to turn pro after a trade and make his NHL debut for a different team in the fall. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-wild-among-top-suitors-for-rutger-mcgroarty.html#ref=home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drive-By Body Pierce Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 There are rumours and reports that he is expecting to be gifted an NHL roster spot and he's refusing to report to the AHL. His level of entitlement is a huge red flag. 100% no to the Canucks acquiring him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
