Great bloodline, nice D prospect. Derian's son? That would be awesome. I've always been dissapointed Hatcher wasn't a Wing for long. Damn salary cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he were 6'5" and could drop the mitts he would be the greatest thing since probert right?

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted December 26, 2016 #7th in draft as of now Nice but Avs, Arizona and Vancouver need to start winning so the wings can get into a top 5 position again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted December 26, 2016 So, I guess we're tanking it then? I don't trust Holland with a top 5 pick, let alone the #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) #7 pick doesn't satisfy me. Unless its #1 or #2 we better win games. Top 2 picks can turn your team around. #7 would not, especially not in the Red Wings org that would immediately go back to playoffs and be stuck with more #15-20 picks the following years.

Richdg 267 Report post Posted December 26, 2016 It doesn't matter if we finish last or 14th, the lottery will determine the draft order. Finishing 5th doesn't mean we are picking 5th. The record only determines the % of drafting higher or lower. I am not sold on Mrazek nor have I written him off. Anyone that does either is silly. he has great talent. He has had stretches of being a very good G. he has also had stretches of being a very bad G. Who is the true Mrazek? No one knows. With Howard out I would play him as much as possible because we do need to know who/what he is. Is a a true #1? A backup? A Journeyman? a AHL G? Only way to learn the answer is to play. Then the team can adjust from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherReevesLegs 7,022 Report post Posted December 26, 2016 Checked about a week ago and we had a 5.9% chance of winning 1st pick. Not sure where we are now. Probs the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holland won't tank the season. And i don't trust him with a top pick either. He'd probably trade it for a 25th-31st pick (Vegas picks this draft, no?) and an over 35 veteran.

Yeah I seem to recall reading that they automatically get a top 5 pick somewhere. Must be nice to buy a franchise, pillage other teams players, and get a high first rounder. I find the amount of players allowed to be protected by each team, who spent years drafting and developing and building their roster, to be much too low as well. What is it..10-12 players total or something? I think expansion teams should have to find and sign their own players. There's tons of non-NHL pro players out there, plus unsigned UFA's. And then there's the high first rounder to help out too. Yeah sure, your team will suck for awhile, but that's how it should be. It shouldn't be instantly competitive just because you put down the expansion fee and built an arena. 2 Hockeymom1960 and romagoth reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
