kipwinger 8,527 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) To be honest, I don't even really need Hughes. I'll take Dylan Cozens and the best defender available for the 1st rounder we'll get for Nyquist over any of the other options above. Edit: Or Kirby Dach. I might like him better than Cozens. But if we draft in the top 4 we're looking really good here. Edited November 14, 2018 by kipwinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 I picked Hughes. Signing a big name UFA is too expensive and not the right time because of the rebuild. Also, I don't think this team would really be any better off with Yzerman as GM. 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 Since option 1 and 3 are going to happen anyway, the only question is, will this team keep this up or drop back into serious Jack Hughes contention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 It's possible we could add Hughes, Veleno, Zadina and Hronek to the lineup next season. We could go from one of the oldest teams in the league, to one of the youngest in less than 2 years. Exciting times are ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying, those two are happening regardless, but I'll go with Stevie Y because he'll get us the players we need, Jack Hughes or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,963 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 Panarin? Who said anything about him? besides I like to be confident until it happens or doesn't. Must remain positive! In order: 1. Yzerman 2. Karlsson 3. Hughes Outside of wining the lottery, if #1 happens, then #2 is almost certain. Well, in my view of the future! I chose Hughes last because I believe that we are getting a gem in the top 10 anyhow. Not Hughes quality, but if we don't score the #1, we are still sitting pretty.

But what if Karlsson or Yzerman means no 1st round stud? That's the point of this. Choose one. No way I choose a UFA or Y over a franchise player. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buppy 1,720 Report post Posted November 14, 2018 I also picked Yzerman, but in my version we still win the lottery. Then when he goes up to make the pick, he smiles and says, "We have a trade. The Detroit Red Wings trade Dylan Larkin, Dennis Cholowski, and the #1 pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Ryan Callahan!" Then he rips open his shirt to show his Lightning jersey. The face-turn was a setup the whole time! Hall and Nash come out from behind the curtain, cracking up. One of them spray paints a lightning bolt over the winged wheel. The crowd is stunned. Then the lights go out...silence for a moment, Seek and Destroy starts playing and the crowd erupts! Spotlight shines up into the rafters, and there's Holland, face painted, howling. Ziplines down to the stage, Hall, Nash, and Yzerman all freaking out. Holland has his hockey stick cocked back, ready to take them all out...then spins around and drops Bettman instead! Double-swerve! He rips open his shirt and he's also wearing a Lightning jersey. They all start attacking the other GMs, chasing them all off, then Tampa Bay drafts everyone for themselves. tBl for life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I missed the Panarin part. Was that always there? I could have swore that it was just Karlsson to begin with. In that case, no 3 id not going to happen. We don't need to waste money on Panarin. I feel we are going to get Karlsson though, but I will still stick with Yzerman over the others. Just to play along. Imagine our joy if ALL THREE happened?
