LeftWinger

Who are these Wings I am seeing? I like Hronek. Jensen jumping everywhere. Remember when I got lambasted for always putting Jensen in my lineup over Sproul and Ouellet? In hindsight it was a good choice, Lol! If we could add a top 10 D man over the summer, our rebound might be moving faster than once thought.

He is not going to play for any other team. If he comes back, it will be for Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings. But, does he have any NHL gas left?

Me! I am sticking to it.

Nah, it was Tippett and Hague! Vilardi and Tippett went one after another in round 1! I appreciate the jab though! Seriously!

He's also Swedish and from Lidstrom's home town. Has Holland written all over it! But honestly, I think Holland is sewing up the Seattle position over the holidays and we'll be asking what is Steve's first move?

...didnt want to play in Buffalo. Would you claim him off waivers?

Just gonna say, I'm tired of Jimmy and his every year pre-christmas injury. This guy better not be re-signed, it's over.

Oh ya, Tank, I nearly forgot! #HughesIsOurs

Why did we sign Bernier?

Hmmmm...... Back to Detroit July 1, followed by Karlsson and Bobvrosky.

Nah, no trade Jimmy with the yearly mid season injury. Should've traded him earlier. Ugh.

To Philly maybe? Lol!

Jimmy traded?

Jimmy emergency scratch, flyers to provide Bernier backup? Wonder what's up.

quick fun bit of info about draft picks. Obviously we all know Fedorov was drafted 4th round 1989, most of us know we tried to draft Bure in the next round, but paperwork scabuffle screwed that up. Imagine if you would, in 1988, instead of drafting Sheldon Kennedy near the end of the 4th round, we pick Alex Mogilny instead (who went shortly thereafter to Buffalo) and still drafted Feds and was able to draft Bure! That was the famed Red Army line in Russia that rivaled only the KLM line. We would've had the best line in the world, let alone in the NHL! Ok, now back to 2018.

hype?

He was a 1st round pick. But I think folks are trying to act not excited about him, so they can be surprised when/if he succeeds. I say stuff it, hype, hype and away!

Nah, that bum was drafted in the THIRD round.

But I would listen to trades for that #6-10!

Sometimes I defy logic! Nevermind, I will just go with a top 6-10 2019 and a #1 OA 2020.

3 gets us Hughes, Broberg and your boy.

I used the #10 as an example of where they might fall on average. Maybe it's #30, doesn't matter. I was just looking to get a pick back in return. Would it be better if I said swap the 2019 1st rounders with Vancouver, still with the guarantee to have #1 in 2020? Risk it to make the biscuit. It was just a suggestion saying that Vancouver would love to try and get the Hughes brothers together and we'd still get a franchise player in 2020.

We cannot recall Veleno at all, he is NOT under contract with us. Guhle is currently under contract with Buffalo. If Veleno signs a contract after WJC, then yes, we can recall him. Not being under contract means he would not be paid...

You are not understanding me, or even your own question I think. You asked if we'd take the #1 overall in 2019 or the #1 overall in 2020 if it meant picking from 6-10 in the other draft. If I am getting the 2020 1st for sure, I'd trade the 2019 lottery pick in order to get a 2nd 1st round in 2020. I understand that it may be 2nd-31st, but it's still a 1st rounder, and considering that, the other team would probably need to give me players as well. But when comes down to you question, like I said above, I'd choose to pick 6-10 in 2019 and have the #1 in 2020 as opposed to Jack Hughes this year and 6-10 next year. But really, I'd love to have either or, if we were going to get a #1 in 19 or 20 for sure, I think all of us would be ecstatic! Sadly, reality says we'll be drafting 6-10 (or maybe even 16-24) most likely both 19 and 20. But, your question straight up: 6-10 in 2019, #1 in 2020 is my choice.

I'd, as well as everyone, would be a ecstatic with either, but I would choose 2020 over 2019. Natural winger vs. Natural center. That's the only reason. I know it's not part of your question, but we could possibly get both #1's! Wow! Of course I'd hate to see our payroll in 4-7 years!
