Trade Rumors and Free Agent TalkTrade rumors, transactions, and free agent talk. Rumors must contain the word RUMOR in post title. Proposals must contain the word PROPOSAL in post title.
The thing is - that's a common practice in Russian sports. I even know people who did that in the past. So it's believable.
Yeah, that first article is a blog post by Nikita Filatov, but commenters talk CSKA youngsters in there.
PS Anyway, I don't want my team to pick him. If he's 21, that's a pick thrown away.

Да ладно Вам - переделанных у нас ,,МОРЕ,, и это не мешает им пытаться быть задрафтованными , наряду с Филатовым , Войновым , Кугрышевым на этом драфте. А что касается Григоренко , то ошиблись при переделке метрик и вместо 2-х лет мальчику списали 3 года , а в 93 он был бы чуть ровнее с другими.
OK, we have A TON of re-made players and it doesn't spoil their attempts to be drafted along with Filatov, Voynov and Kugryshev on this draft. About Grigorenko, there was a mistake while re-making and boy got three years dropped, he'd stand out less playing against 1993.
"Слухи о переделке ходят уже давно, минимум лет 8-9. "
"Слухов ходило много, ажиотаж подогревало, что его тетя главврач в роддоме, где он родился."
I know it's rumors there, but I believe it (and I have a lot of reasons to do so). And watching him play... I'm sure more and more.
Why did you put that in bold?

To point out. Those are not facts.
Some guys on Russian forum running their mouth. Not a credible source.
May as well start one that "Grigs has male and female organs".

The thing is, you won't get any facts on this topic. But even if it's just talks, I think it's too risky to pick him that high.
Those guys are usually close to the school, especially guy who talked about how kids asked Grigorenko about school program to figure out if he's older and has already learnt some things. And I have credible confirmation... Own source.
He said that the price you would place on your top center, Backstrom, is the same price we'd place on ours, Getzlaf. He didn't name a specific price at all, and that includes asking for Backstrom.
Well, that's equally as absurd of a concept.
Again, players with one year until UFA don't return the same kind of trade value as players 8 years from UFA.

I think a Washington fan, who isn't trying to be difficult, can understand what I was saying. The price for Getzlaf is more than Washington would be willing to pay.
Here's a better question. Do you think either of those picks stand a good chance at being better players than the ones you listed? 1/3 of first round draft picks bust.
If its 10,11 and the Leafs have #2(lottery) then would Caps do
#2, Schenn
for
#10,#11, Carlson, Alzner?
Remember the last few 2nd overalls have been home runs, so Toronto might not make the deal.
There is no way in hell you'd convince any Caps fan to do that trade for Alzner and Carlson, yet alone for both their picks. Try not to be a homerism troll in every single post.
Plekanec could be had for that cost. I agree, it's a little steep, but perhaps Nattinen could be added into the mix.

Most of the first-rounder busts were picked between #18-#30.
