Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 23, 2016 If Bean and McLeod are somehow off the board at 16, I'm definitely in the trade down camp. 3 krsmith17, frankgrimes and sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ekmanc 586 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 I just hope we take a lot of dmen in this draft, we've been terrible at developing defense in the last couple of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoweFan 74 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 1. McLeod 2. Stanley 3. Rubitsov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Stanley is probably the only player projected to go in the first round that I'd be pissed if we drafted... It's McLeod or Bean for me if we draft at 16. Jones or Gauthier if we trade back a couple spots... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 I'd love to land Lucas Johansen in the 2nd round, but I don't see it happening unless we make a trade to get in the 30 range. Nathan Bastian is another player I like in that range as well. Maybe we could be so lucky for one of them to drop all the way to 46... doubt it. Wade Allison is another player I like, but I wouldn't take him in the first couple rounds, so again, unless we make a trade to get in the 3rd round, I doubt he drops to us in the 4th at 107... I really hope we're able to land Kenny Johnson and / or Filip Berglund in one of the later rounds as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Saw on twitter the jets are looking the deal the 22nd pick for a lefty dman and a top 9 forward ... We have anything they might want?what would it take ? Ouellet or smith ? And forward .... No hope they take Ericsson? Lol 22nd and trouba for Ericsson and ouellet .... Nyquist and helm's rights(he's a Manitoba kid so id say the chances they can get him to sign would be really good) I'd love to land Lucas Johansen in the 2nd round, but I don't see it happening unless we make a trade to get in the 30 range. Nathan Bastian is another player I like in that range as well. Maybe we could be so lucky for one of them to drop all the way to 46... doubt it.

I really hope we're able to land Kenny Johnson and / or Filip Berglund in one of the later rounds as well... Ya I like johansen and Allison as well ... I'm really hoping we make a few trades to add more picks, maybe trade back or do a Dominic turgeon type trade and say trade a 2018 2nd or 3rd rounder for a 2nd or 3rd rounder this year I also like Lucas carlsson from Sweden at d and koivula from Finland who's 17 and already huge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 My last thoughts before the draft. 1. If we trade I expect it to be up, not down. This is a very shallow draft overall. 40-50 really good prospects then not after that. 2. I think we end up with one of these five guys if we pick at 16: Rustibov C, Gauither RW, Jones LW, McAvoy D, or Mcloud C. Sorry for any mis-spellings.... 3. In the 2nd I want us to take the risk and draft Day. He has top 5 talent and questionable off the ice issues. A true Boom or Bust pick. But if he is a BOOM, it will be a big one. 4. I do expect multiple trades to happen this weekend. Will Holland be part of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 I assume you didn't list Bean because you think he'll be gone before 16? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Bean and Day would be a great draft imo. Bean Day 2016, get hype Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 I assume you didn't list Bean because you think he'll be gone before 16? Yup. I see him in the 12 range. There are very few high end Dmen available, so expect an early run. Lots of good F's. Dmen rise F's fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 I want Bean or Kunin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Very possible that Bean could drop, but I see him going around the 12 range as well. I'd be okay with Kunin too, but only if a few of the other big names are off the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TankIt 9 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 There has been a bit of smoke around local sports radio, along with CBSsports mock draft predicting Dante Fabbro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robb himself 143 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Fabbro would be a fantastic pick. I watched him a lot this year and he is great in all areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Yeah I was going to say. Fabbro is the mock draft pick for the Wings. He looks like a solid pickup to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyqvististhefuture 1,002 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 I Hope we land trouba or Brodin tonight and stay away from shattenkirk Kulikov apparently on the market , should we target him? Obviously we'd need better but if we got rid of Ericsson and replaced him with Kulikov could be worth looking at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TankIt 9 Report post Posted June 24, 2016 Fabbro would be a fantastic pick. I watched him a lot this year and he is great in all areas. I could be completely wrong, but his size and skating give me pause. If Bean isn't available I would go with McLeod/Bellows/Jones, or trade down for an extra 2nd/3rd.
