Berggren out for the year with a shoulder injury , Horrible news man the kid cant catch a break

The list of short player excelling in the playoff is not long , maybe marchand and st louis from your list . All i know is we cant afford to f*** this draft up and id rather stay away from the 5’8 kid and get someone just as good or better who also happens go be bigger If we had askarov and he turned into a vasilevsky type to add to seider and hronek on the back end that can be a game changer for our franchise . As good as he is im hoping things stay as is or we dont drop 3 back

He might be a good player but whens the last time you seen a 5’8 forward excel in the playoffs outside of pat kane maybe? Dont recall gaudreau making serious noise or anyone of that height in a long time . Not saying he wont be a good player but like you said this pick is important as s*** Now im hoping to god and id like to believe we wont get f***ed over and fall back to 4th but if thats the case and those 3 are gone i wouldnt be against taking at 4 or trading back a spot or 2 ans taking askarov/drysdale and solidify the back end of our team for 10 years with seider+hronek (obviously would also love raymond/holtz) I know its a possibility but i dont even want to think about 4th place right now

Thats cool , just dont agree with some of his rankings

God forbid we drop to 4th and those players mentioned above are gone i can see yzerman falling back a few spots and taking askarov to go with seider and hronek and trying to solidify our back end Thats not what im hoping for though obviously , also have raymond ahead of rossi as well as holtz

I wouldnt even think twice about it ,doubt fabbri alone fetches a 1st due to only having played 30 games but if we can we’d have to do it , even throw in a bowey if need be Team that comes to mind is vegas, they seem desperate enough to get in the playoffs and both bowey and fabbri’s contracts are cheap enough it can probably work out . We have to consider all options

Unless a john cooper becomes available , due to the history with gallant and stevie i do think he’ll be the next coach but stevie wont risk the tank and wait till april to fire blashill

Sounds like a plan

Ya raymond 8, holtz 11? Lundell 14? Im paying less attention to button everytime he talks

Ya just sucks f*** , start if the year was hoping for at least some 3rds for those guys but they been absolute s*** , just hoping some cup contending team could see some value for green on a 2nd ppl unit and we can get a 3rd at least. For a team last spot by a landslide we got f*** all to offer on deadline day compared to ottawa who might add a 3rd first by trading a pagueau ? Hope we rectify this for next deadline and get some players july 1 to one year deals

Trevor daley then , point was trying to make was just cause your a cup winner doesnt mean teams will automatically be chasing after

Bottom line player now , and he might be a Great mentor , for league minimum ....jonathan ericsson is a cup winner , lets see how many people come knocking next month And i dont know why your bringing glendening into this lol He was never mentioned with those 2 , its ok we have so many 4th line guys on this team i can see someone getting mixed up with the players

Was looking at our trade options this year for the deadline and we definetly got f***ed with everyone just having a god awful season and had me thinking to 2021 unless they get dealt we’ll have nemeth/helm/glendening/filppula .... dmen are usually in demand so “maybe” we’d be lucky to find someone to give us a 2nd for nemeth but likely not , maybe glendening but again likely not Was thinking we should target 1-2 guys july 1 for one year deals with the sole intention of using them as bait . Kovalchuk comes to mind , he was s*** in l.a for whatever reason but so far in mtl hes been producing and if he can be had on a one year deal so long as its nothing crazy like 5+ id consider it other forward options jimmy vesey , carl soderberg,erik haula , tyler toffoli, alex galchenyuk d options (and the likeliest target july 1) bogosian,schultz,shattenkirk,bouwmeester anyways point is we should look to add more potential trade bait for next year . Im sure we’ll be alot better next year if we win the draft +seider and zadina all year but we’ll still be on the outside looking in

Haha i agree i just dont wanna risk anything . This is gonna be a great draft so if we’re gonna suck it should be this year

Like i said , we somehow win 4-5 games and those teams keep losing all of a sudden 12 becomes 2/4 pts, still 35 games ... id feel better with closer to 20 haha
