He's a great straight-line skater, but, imo, his lateral mobility leaves something to be desired. What makes the Hughes brothers such great skaters is their edges. They're not necessarily burners, but they don't need to be burners because their quickness, agility, elusiveness means they're going to be driving play and leading you around all over the ice, in all three zones. I've gone full Draft 4 Need. I am a crazy man with nothing to lose and zero effs left to give. I eat my steak with ketchup. Come at me.

Depends what you like. Broberg is fast AF. Who's faster? Maybe Turcotte? People are bashing Pods because he works hard? Dumb. Work ethic is a huge plus with him in my mind.

I was trying to be a lil flippant cause jonas Are you suggesting we should draft based on need then? Because I'll remind you that not observing the holy doctrine of BPA is of the highest form of heresy and you will be admonished.

More like...Blowberg. (There. I just ensured we're taking Broberg with our first pick. You're welcome / I'm sorry.)

Assuming some combination of Hughes, Kakko, Turcotte, Byram go 1-4 I've narrowed my list to: Zegras Dach Cozens Newhook (trade back scenario) Definitely not Broberg though. That guy blows.

Im thinking the Jets want our 2020 1st and our 2021 3rd that becomes a 2nd if we make the playoffs in either of 2020 or 2021.

Oh you heard did you... is that pending a blashill firing? Where did you hear this? Lmao It's not a real rumour, it's just a bridge with a troll underneath

Anyone care to speculate what is going back to the Jets? What do they need to get over that hump that we have?

U mad dink?

right

I heard Cali has clean air

Yup the Turris contract is just too long.

I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately my twitter links don't work on my work PC so I get lazy and get into the habit of just posting what I read as verbatim as i can during the day. Will post the raw links if it helps you. I abhor fake BS as much as the next guy. I'd be ok with Turris maybe if Nielsen and other contracts weren't around. But sadly they are. Would love to watch Turris and Mantha play together full-time in Detroit though....

I still shake my head in disappointment whenever I hear about us picking 6th.

Just can’t see him moving on a 22 yr old konecky who’s had 20 goal seasons back to back , could be wrong ...and if I were philly I’d much rather keep konecky than kapanen id rather hang on to the picks personally and do the Callahan 27 for 60 if possible scenario , just a lot of guys I like this draft so I’d rather hang on to as many picks as possible ... as for drafting backwards to go to 11 I might consider it if we’d be able to drop from 6 and drop a few more times if we ended up with like 3 firsts and got like knight,broberg,beecher instead of just a podkolzin/zegras/turcotte but trading back I think would mean we’d get maybe a second rounder attached and not firsts , if we want podkolzin let’s say and we know for a fact we can have him at 8 then I’d have no problems doing 6 for 8 and 40 but I don’t know if that would even be doable should be a fun draft , I expect a lot of movement , hopefully we can get rid of a Daley on the weekend and add another 5th , quite some guys I’d like to target , again it should be a fun exciting draft weekend for wings fans to keep an eye on Wouldn’t surprise me ... trade ericsson at 50% off for a 5-7th pick and take bertuzzi https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/290462/marcel-barinka like him as a late pick over tag,not good numbers in halifax but all the c’s are 20+ so they’ll be gone so he could have huge uptick in minutes and could have a big season,just turned 18 and also had good numbers at the u18 tournament and hlinka cup tag wouldn’t bother me but he’d be abottom guy I’d rather risk our 5-7th picks on upside players they fail so be it

Which sorta concerns me about Podkolzin...

He saw that Helm, Abdelkader, and Glendenning were still on the roster, and decided to stay in Russia rather than have those linemates.
