    I agree, but I don't think it HAS to be Bedard and Reinbacher. I think if we land a 1C prospect (Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson, or Smith) and Sandin-Pellikka we're in the same spot. If we fill those two holes then I'd be looking to use next years' picks to try and find a power forward with scoring. Someone like Tkachuk last year, or Meier this year.

    Totally agree about Danielson, I knew I was forgetting someone. If we end up with the 8th pick I don't see it being too hard to move up a couple spots.
    I agree about Kasper as well. I don't see any reason why he couldn't be a Larkin-esque 1C but I'd still want someone much more offensively inclined to compliment him.
    I'd be fine with that too. Especially because the defenseman doesn't really need to be a top pair guy given that we've got Seider and Edvinsson.

    I dont think all 3 will make the Wings but def wouldnt be opposed to it.
    My guess would be Edvinsson/Kasper in D Wallinder/Mazur in GR.

    I understand your point, but I'm not sure it's as bleak as you're making it seem. Neither Nyquist nor Tatar played in the NHL at 19 years old. He produced roughly as well as they did in their rookie seasons and he was a full 3-4 years younger. I think he's more like Marner (or Kucherov) in his developmental trajectory than he is like Nyquist or Tatar. But as I've already said, he needs to develop his skating and his strength like both of those guys did in order to hit that upper echelon. His skill and hockey sense is already there but right now he's just too easy to defend.

    Raymonds just 20yo - 21 next week hes got 95pts in 143gp - 0.664pts%. If you look around the league at some of the top w most were at or below that rate at the same age. I agree he needs a big season next in the 70pt range but I disagree that theres been anything to indicate he wont be a top line w in the league. Another 2-3yrs of personal and team development and Raymond will be a pt/g w.

    Stutzle is the better player and probably always will be. He's bigger, faster, etc.
    But Timmy Stu's numbers would be alot s***tier on this carcass of a team, much like Raymond's. When you're 20 years old, 5'11", not very fast and you're next best winger peer is David ******* Perron, you're not going to get much mercy from opposing matchups. It's actually a miracle that he's has a legit shot at 20 goals this year tbh

    Veleno is a good skater wins puck battles and adds toughness/physicality. Provides nothing offensively but good bottom 6 shutdown c. Zadina has skill plays hard but is soft as butter.

    No. It's about not wearing a jersey that supports a cause you don't agree with. If they wear the other theme jerseys, maybe its because they agree with those causes. That is not hypocrisy. That is choice.
    And standing up to the woke mob nowadays does take courage. Provorov was publicly chastised on every single network and social media site. It was national news for crying out loud. Not one player who put on a Pride jersey was ridiculed in any way. They were applauded. And many of them did so while not agreeing with it, because they didn't want to face the backlash from the woke mob. So, tell me again who the "snowflakes" are?
    There is a team in Montreal....Quebec

    What? You are too young to have witnessed it, but vets were absolutely discriminated against who came home from the Vietnam War. And the way the VA cares for veterans now is tantamount to the same thing. And if a player refused to wear a military jersey or one honoring Cops, the league would not do anything, and the wokies would hypocritically applaud their"courage".
    Also, the alphabet community is not oppressed. They have the same civil rights and government protections as any other group.
    And it's not about "equality" or "acceptance" anymore either. That already exists. It goes beyond that. It's about cramming an ideology down the throats of others, and chastising those that don't embrace it.

    Or we could of kept him for the rest of this season actually played him and up his value before trading him this summer. Worst case he doesnt up his value at all and you still get the same return from Stl or some other team this summer. Horrible mismanagement on the person/player/asset imo.

    Protected picks are for after the lottery. The Isles pick is top 12 protected so if they finish 15 from bottom win the lottery and move up to 5 the pick moves to the following season.
