I'd give a prospect, a 3rd and a 7th. If we acquired him at this draft, we have those assets available. I'd even send them Berggren instead of the prospect if they wanted him. I would definitely pay up to acquire him.

Based on the bolded the hot dog vendors just doubled their orders for next year not realizing its not Jimmy but another Howard.

I'm hoping SY goes after Issac Howard and/or Tom Willander since he and the Canucks seem to be at an impasse contractually.

I don’t really get the concern actually. I just watched the Jets win the President’s Trophy with a 30+ year old 1C who’s not THAT much better than Larkin (if at all). Kyle Conner is just Lucas Raymond with a few more years of development under his belt. Josh Morressy isn’t any better than Seider. Edvinsson is actually better than any other defender Winnipeg has. Who’s their 2C? Adam Lowrey? Gabe Vilardi? But Kip, what about the goalie ? We certainly don’t have Hellebyuk but goaltending is actually a strength of our organization going forward. So maybe we don’t get a superstar there but I’m as confident in our goalie pipeline as you could possibly be given that they’re still prospects. So again, not concerned. Here’s the main difference between us and them. Their best players are 3-5 years older than ours. And that experience counts for a lot. Are rookies Kasper, Edvinsson, Sodorblom and Johansson as good as they’re going to be? Not even close. You think Marco Kasper just had a career year at age 20? Of course not. When he’s 23 he’ll score 30 goals. Same is true to a lesser extent with Seider and Raymond. Lucas will score 90+ points really soon. Seider will score 60+ soon too? Why haven’t they already? Because they’re young and our team sucked. That’s why. Im not concerned, Im impatient. Im tired of losing and I wish SY would stop shooting us in the foot instead of investing in the team. He shouted out Montreal and St. Louis in his presser and failed to mention that both those teams invested significant assets to get players from outside their organizations. Suzuki, Laine, Buchnevich, Bromberg, Holloway, Newhook, Dach, Anderson, Schenn, Fowler. Those are good to great players that those organizations ponied but assets to acquire. Our GM has done that ONCE (Debrincat). Otherwise all he’s done is bring in junk to bridge the gap. But it’s kinda irrelevant now because all his young talent is finally arriving on the roster and most of them are as good (or better) than advertised.
