  1. Getting picked first ought to calm that down a bit, no worries.
  2. Those 228 points must've been what got in the way of him getting his jersey on easily.
  3. I love how much Bettman embraces the booing.. "I can keep going as long as you can!"
  4. Hahahaha everyone booing betman and he goes "okay Vancouver, hold on. I think I've got something to change the mood." goes back stage and brings out the Sedins and the crowd goes wild.

    Right, it would definitely depend on the cost. But if teams know they're having trouble signing him long term, Carolina likely isn't going to get as much for him as they should.

    Yeah it wouldn't surprise me to see Florida trade back and still get him.

    I would love if we could get a pick/prospect from Toronto for taking Marleau and then retain half his cap hit in a trade to San Jose and get another pick/prospect out of that.

    I feel like Spencer knight isn't falling further than the Panthers at 13 unless they trade back. I know they're rumored to be getting Bobrovski but that's far from guaranteed and it seems like there's a decent chance Luongo retires.

    2019 Draft

    Provided we don't trade back, i think I've settled my wish list to: 1. Byram 2. Zegras 3. Turcotte 4. Caufield 5. Podkolzin 6. Cozens I keep going back and forth between the last three every time I think about it, so they're pretty interchangeable for me, but I'd be happy with any of these guys.
  11. Krug is the obvious next "but he wants to come home!" choice. I don't know how I didn't realize that before. I take back my ghostbear pipe dream and replace it with the Krug pipe dream. Gimme that sparty boy

    I'd take Marleau plus a prospect. But he said he'll only play for Toronto or San Jose. So we'd be buying him out. It'd have to be REALLY worth it. Maybe if they gave us Liljegren or Sandin, plus a buyout of Marleau for a late pick.. But I don't see them giving up either of those guys with the state of their defense. I really don't think Vegas will get rid of Stastny. They'll likely trade someone like Smith first.

    Who I think he would take. I would agree we would rather he take neilsen.

    Cholowski seemed a lot like best defenseman available iirc. But could very well have been the best player in our scouts eyes. A lot harder to predict who BPA might be at 20 than where we pick these days. I wouldn't even think twice. It probably wouldn't take close to that much to offload his contract.

    If Holland got his choice of those guys, I'm torn between helm and glendog.

    2019 Draft

    I'd be okay with 6th and 60th for 5th.. if it took any more than that, I agree with what KRS said. that is, if we're the ones calling LA about the pick. If LA is calling us about moving down a spot, I'd think it's because they want a center and have multiple options. in that case, I'd just wait it out.

    At least he wouldn't be moving far would be pretty funny to see him play in the same division against Vancouver

    2019 Draft

    I feel that's too much quantity, not enough quality. Hughes is only one year removed from being drafted 7th overall and has done nothing to indicate that was too high yet. If he were to struggle this coming year in the NHL, and a trade like this were discussed next year, it would feel more likely. But Vancouver is probably still too high on him for a trade that is basically just compiling extra prospects who aren't as highly touted as him.

    Would love to move back if the Ducks want to ship us 9 and 29 for 6. Any rumors of them wanting to move up in the draft?

    Probly not. Seems more in the ballpark of what it would take though.. But yeah, I doubt they trade Hughes at all.
