If anyone has a clue as to who wins between Vegas and Florida and if it goes 4 or all 7 games.... good on ya. Both teams traded for their engine's, Tkachuk and Eichel, and at the time I thought FLA was crazy to give up Huberdeau, Weegar and a 1st pick to Calgary who HAD to trade him or get nothing.

I've been fairly good this year. Got FLA and Vegas right up till now. I had the Canes winning it all and messing up FLA physically. Doh!

Suter isn't even viable for a 3C. Pretty sure we'll be snagging someone with our 9 or 17 that will be our 3C, 2C, 1C.

I think SY wanted these guys to get some playoff hockey minutes in.

Salt Lake Climate Pledgers

That actually sounds like a pretty cool trip as well. Houston and Seattle it is.

You take care of the BBQ and Beer and I'll snag the tickets. Houston would be a good Wings trip for me.

Just tweek the name a little. The Arrows.

Killorn or Tarasenko?

I think we've had some bad luck - Vrana No Bert for most of the year and then SY couldn't/wouldn't agree on a deal. SY couldn't turn down the deal for Hronek as he probably figures he can either trade for or draft his upgraded replacement with either pick. Zadina sucks. Fabbri always hurt. So yeah we need scoring, but, all of the above just pushed our timeline out a bit more.

What? You forgot Hamilton? hah That one flew out the door a long time ago which is too bad. Territorial rights and all.

I agree. This may be the last time we have 5 picks this high. Stock those cupboards.

If you can get the 5th overall pick then sure....lol Would you like Matt Murray for a year? Would the Loafs spit up a 1st for the relief of 4.7M?

The only team I see that would trade on draft day would be Vancouver. They might be tempted with a player (Z?) , their 2nd rounder back and a swap of 17 for 11. OTH, the Jets could as well, with no 2nd rounder. If Stevie really can't decide between two guys at #17 perhaps he adds #18 for our 2nd rounders, or combination of picks. Or just let our scouts have their fun with those three 2nd rounders. The draft always has surprises with guys dropping.

What do I know? IMO Smith is in the 2nd tier and gets picked before Michkov. I would consider this trade only if Carlsson or Smith were available assuming Fantilli is 2nd off the board. You never know what team has what player ranked on their own draftboard. If your top 4 plus Smith are gone then I wouldn't make the deal. We're getting a top 6 forward or top 4 D at #9. Looking at the past 10 years only of drafts, the 15-18 picks are pretty dang good if you pick the right guy. considering this is a deeper draft apparently, I'd be happy to pick players rather than trade away one for a player. Another can of worms, what player?

IF.... the Scabs offered up 5 & 29-32 for 9 & 17. would you say yes? Only on draft day if certain players were still available?

Yep.... Lidstrom hitting the post. That Cup was ours.

Is this draft really that deep for the top 43? Where is the drop off point for packaging picks to have three 1st rounders or two picks better than 9 + 17? I'd be looking for teams with no 2nd rounders to try and trade up, Philly (7) , St. Louis (10), and Vancouver (11). Am I missing anyone?

Tell me

Not sure if swearing is allowed here, but, as an atheist this hurts. Here goes... jeebus fuggin christ: let the Wings win this mf lottery.

I'm going to watch again....not that I expect Gary and his shenanigans will be any different this year. It would be nice to be surprised.

s*** happens. The kid wants to murder people with Mo. He'll get his chance after learning how to build up and protect his shoulder for the future. Different take for the draft here...https://theathletic.com/4448811/2023/05/01/nhl-draft-prospects-2023-u18-worlds/

Sutter canned in Calgary. I was hoping for a fire sale.... dang

Might be some Flames that are available as well because they don't like Sutter. Actually, I would like some Flames, but, if they don't like Sutter then they probably are too sucky. Delete post....HAH

Moved to South Detroit. (Windsor) Driving in Toronto for way too many years isn't the best thing for anyone's health. It's a parking lot and extremely annoying. You may refer to me as Houdini on this forum for getting out of Make-be-leaf-land. Plus... Detroit has way more going on that I'm into. Lots more R&B and Soul. A point for the right team and an extra point for the right number of games? Boston 6 Toronto 7 Canes 5 NJD 6 Avs 6 Dallas 6 VGK 6 Oilers 5
