LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 ....and I didn't include those names because I feel they're worthless. Quite the opposite. Also I believe it would take more than just the #9 for the 2 Blues picks. That is why I included player(s) I did. It would have to be attractive to St Louis than just the #9. If all we were offering is the #9, I could see them give us the #27 and their 2nd round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really think they would expect to move up 18 spots, into the top 10, for the same price? Go check out some past trades. I probably wouldn't even do the #9 for the 20, 27, AND their 2nd. 2 BadgerBob and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Well that would be great then. I just didn't want to over value the #9 in a scenario. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 16, 2017 There are basically two players I'd be disappointed if we drafted with our 9th overall pick, Michael Rasmussen and Eeli Tolvanen... Of course those are just two that are projected to go in the top 15 range, obviously many others beyond that. It's Glass, Tippett, Liljegren or Makar for me...

LeftWinger 4,949 Report post Posted June 16, 2017 Well if Tippett is gone before 9, I would most definitely inquire with St. Louis. I'd then try to snag Suzuki and Hague. Then rd. 2 I would hope for yamamoto. Either way, I'd hope for him in the 2nd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 16, 2017 I think it's Liljegren, Makar, Glass, Tippett for me too (that's in no particular order.. would be equally happy with any of them.) assuming no one falls unexpectedly. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does his size and style of play not matter because he's an American born player? You don't want Pettersson because he's a small finesse player, but he's 6" taller and 10-15 lbs. heavier... Would you want him if his name was Yamamsson from Sweden? For some reason I don't think so...

amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 16, 2017 I remember his name being brought up as a bit of a sleeper third round pick.. here's a pretty good write up on Dylan Samberg.

If we got those two guys in the third plus another d-man somewhere in the first three rounds/one of the four mentioned above in the first (assuming no one projected top 5 drops), I'd be pretty satisfied with the draft overall. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BinMucker94 302 Report post Posted June 16, 2017 http://thehockeywriters.com/david-farrance-2017-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/ I like this kid. Mainly because he's from my hometown... and we share the same birthday... and I heard that I have to chase him around in summer league this year. The write up on him makes him seem like a piece this team could use in the future. Very offensively gifted. Still working on his defensive game but his puck movement is incredible. If he goes in the 3rd round ands we use one of our picks on him I wouldn't be mad. 2 amato and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be pretty happy with a later round pick used on Sandelin as well, based on what you said about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he goes in the 3rd round ands we use one of our picks on him I wouldn't be mad. From the article: "Highlighted by his smooth skating, solid vision and skilled hands, Farrance is a good mobile defender who has no issue carrying the puck out of his own end and through the neutral zone." Pretty much exactly what I like in a d-man.. "needs work on his defense" isn't great but that's what you get with middle round offensive d-men.. I'm a little biased toward his style but I'm sold. The "quotables" section at the bottom makes him sound like the exact kind of defensive prospect teams are always looking for too. Hopefully he reaches his potential and thensome.

Id be fine with Pettersson as long as we didnt use the #9 on him with Tippett still available. I have been preparing myself for Holland to pick him anyhow if he's there, but don't be angry when he's not the next Z. Besides, it doesn't matter how they play now, Blashill will make them bottom 6 anyhow. Stop beating a dead horse, I haven't said anything about nationality in a while now.
