what pick are we on? im droving to Tacoma rt now.

You were the man, Bill.

CBJ with the Xmas present

wait, youre back to girls again?

stevie better not s*** the bed

That's a good question From a mix of recent mocks Ive seen, Reinbacher is going to go A LOT sooner than most people originally thought. So wouldnt be surprised if that's why teams are wanting that 5 spot. Staying on topic, Fantilli's mom is a 7 or 8 at best, but his GF is a complete smoke show. Hope she's in attendance.

no chance. they will be back.

Bold Fantilli drop take.

we need this

agreed

I want all our first round picks, tbh. Give Ottawa scraps out of our farm and failed 1st rounders.

Our team is full of wimps. And the one chaddy guy we have (Chiarot) sucks at hockey. It's really frustrating.

Im in agreement. Debrincat and his demands can go elsewhere. Work with Briere to get the Flyers what they need for their rebuild and get us what we need for ours. Yzerman getting involved in the Philadelphia-St. Louis deal would stop all the posturing from Ottawa. 2 first round picks for a guy already on his way outta town is absurd. Let Dallas have Debrincat at that rate.

STEEP PRICETAG I have ZERO issues passing on him.

Yah, this guy is not fit enough yet. He needs a year to get his fitness together.

I like Tyler Myers out of Van. We could probably land Myers at 50% (3 mil) and a 2nd for McIsaac, then pump and dump him at the deadline. We arent winning the cup this year. We all know that. So this year needs to be about using guys we can trade atthe deadline (Myers, Kubalik, Perron, Maata), sneaking into the playoffs with our youth movement ripping it up, then getting ready for a 2024 that starts a new era of competing for a cup.

We would be harder to play against. That's for sure. Would love to have Reaves and Mazur fill that 12 spot for injuries/nights against tough guy teams. Konecny-Larkin-Debrincat Kubalik-Copp-Raymond Fabbri-Rasmussen-Perron Berggren-Veleno-Kasper Mazur/Reaves Walman-Seider Edvinsson-Krug Chiarot-Maata Wallinder Husso Lethemon Gotta start drafting RHD. The cupboard is bare there.

Yah, missing out on Hughes set us back 5 years. He's w HOF player. But look at Zadina as an asset to get Debrincat and it's easier to stomach. Why Zadina is wanted by Ottawa is whole nother story. But Zadina (solid bottom 6 LW) + pick 17 (solid 2nd/3rd Line RW in 4 years) + pick 43 (50 career games in the NHL) for Debrincat (solid 2nd line RW) looks like a good move. Debrincat's possession metrics are off the chart. I hate minus players as you all know, but Debrincat looks to be a guy who would turn minuses around quickly with a good 2 way centerman. Larkin is just that.

If we want Kubalik/Perron to be worthless at the trade deadline and a 22 year old to take us to arbitration for 6 mil a season, we can play Raymond alongside Larkin and Debrincat. That didnt work out so great with Bertuzzi. What we SHOULD do is make Lucas Raymond EARN his 6 million by making Copp and Kasper look good instead of giving him a big contract for Larkin's work. If Raymond scores 50 pts on the 2nd line and makes his linemates better, I have zero issue with a commensurate contract. But my guess is he'll take a huge nosedive and we'll find out what he's REALLY worth - 2.5 mil a season until he decides to work out in the offseason and focus on his fitness to make him a good player in both ends. In that case, we give him a bridge deal and see what he does. Contrary to popular LGW belief, we dont HAVE to let 3rd year players have imaginary leverage over the team. Seider being the exception. The entire planet knoes we're f u c k e d if Mo goes down right now.

Yah, you're right. We are going to pay top line RW Debrincat 7.5 mil a season for 8 years, and it wont affect Lucas Raymond at all. They'll just stuff Alex at 3RW with Veleno and Fabbri and give him 11 mins a night an 25 secs of pp unit 2 time. Raymond Perron Debrincat The FACT is that signing Debrincat means Raymond no longer plays with Larkin. That will hurt him big time. Like 20 pts a season big. There is zero reason to give a 30 pt a season minus player big money. You give him what you give 30 pt a season minus players - 2.5 mil a year until they hit UFA. Raymond's contract will be in the range of 4 years x 2.5 mil as a bridge to his first UFA deal. That's just how hockey works if you arent the team's best player.

probably bostons pick + zadina

The Krug problem with the St Louis deal might change French boy's mind, yah?

If we sign Debrincat and Konecny, Raymond might become the new Filip Zadina. I'd wait to see how he looks with 13 minutes of 2nd and 3rd line / 2nd pp unit ice time before paying him anything. There's a strong correlation between 14 min of 1st line / 4 min 1st pp unit ice time and scoring.

Strange. So I guess we have to wait til pick 17 on Wednesday. Will be interesting.

seriously lol
