    No I think at this point Kotkaniemi has played better in a more important role and I think Hayton will follow the same path...

    Already sliding and vastly out done by the guy drafted right after him... but it's fine, IT'S FINE... he was ranked 3rd, 3RD I SAID. https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/redoing-the-2018-nhl-draft-how-would-it-unfold-two-years-later?fbclid=IwAR3MGJRA-N0Elu8hrZ8h0Y48NLJbw4YWZ0tBNuEVU1KNhcvjKHNUtNc1Cbk #BustyColdZadina

    Why would he backpedal from the correct position? I think COVID19 and/or Carole Baskin is behind this. Once again... Zadina ceiling = Tatar Zadina floor = KHL

    That's a somewhat positive outlook on Zadina... you've changed man, you've changed.

    Do you think this guy is resorting to "hot-takes" for a few clicks? He seems pretty vanilla/pathetic otherwise.

    That won't happen, this dude still believes in Santa and Zadina.

    Larkin is a 2C... so if Byfield is a 1C he'd be our top guy come contention time. So you're saying he'd pair well with 'white fish' and '18 Zadina...

    Its done behind closed doors... so who knows what they **REALLY** do. I don't trust that process whatsoever.

    If Lafreniere pulls an Eric Lindros on the Wings

    You're quite likely right but since that's not what the discussion has been about I'm not sure why you're bringing it up.

    Taylor Hall?

    I'd rather put less money and term into Lehner and/or Krug, adding those two would make this team a respectable bottom 5 team (see Ottawa). I think they would also accelerate our rebuild by 2 seasons.

    That Zadina analysis is bang on and we're gonna pay the price for it for years.

    Not a hero but he far exceeded what would be expected of a 7th rounder.... If he'd have been drafted in the 1st round he'd be a bust with the very same stats. Its a matter of not living up to/far exceeding expectation.

    No they can only surprise... they are presumed fringe pros (meaning ECHL/AHL etc) a late round pick that plays a regular shift is a win, a late round star its a miracle.

    Well in my mind then if we have the 1st pick and the team in 2nd wants Laffy and we want Stutzie you leverage the situation and get another high end asset. Don't just go blow you brains out and use the 1st pick on Laffy.

    Replace Seider with Zadina and that could be mistaken for an @krsmith17 quote The problem with your plan is that the teams who want a Larkin, Mantha, etc and are willing to trade a package including 1st rounders are teams that will very likely be picking in the back half of the 1st round where you have a less than 50/50 shot at getting a player of the caliber you traded and even if you did it would take 4+ years to materialize.

    I'm not so sure... first Lafreniere would help them draw french fans from Gatineau... and secondly they have a much better high end player/prospect pool than we do.
