I personally wouldn't take a goaltender in the first round, possibly first two rounds. I certainly wouldn't take one in the top 10. Even if we were to use a couple 2nd round picks to move up into the first round, I'd rather target a player like Tomasino / Suzuki or Seider / Broberg / Soderstrom than take a chance on a goaltender. There's just as much of a chance that Zegras becomes the next Datsyuk as there is Knight becomes the next Price. We have no idea what the future holds for any of these kids, but I'm hoping of the three really solid goalie prospects we have, at least one turns out to be a legit starter. Sure. Is anything ever 100%? No but I’d say there’s a way higher chance of knight becoming the next price than zegras being a datsyuk , the way the people talk about knight he’s as sure as a future nhl star goalie as you can get , I understand some teams are scared off taking goalies earlier on but if you like someone a lot you just have to go with your gut . I’d have no problem for instance taking kotchekov at 60 (obviously depends who else might be on the board) if we move up and get another pick we’d 110% have to target seider/broberg/soderstrom/harley ... one way or another we’re gonna have to address our need to add future dmen this draft hopefully we just give marleau his stupid’s bonus moneys and get the 1st from Toronto + and force our way into Clarkson etc... if it’s just one year deals I’d take all the garbage as possible so long as we add picks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

F.Michael 4,590 Report post Posted June 21, 2019 4 hours ago, Jonas Mahonas said: Im disappointed to hear Yzerman say BPA. To me, that is a dumb term. A GM and a team of scouts should be drafting based on THEIR work. Not based on prospect lists. "We have a great team of scouts, and there are some guys we are looking to draft before anyother team knows just how good we think theyre going to be." Thats what you say. Not: "We are going to go off the list. Anybody could do this. We almost thought about doing this on video conference to save time. Theres really nothing to it." ‘The cow says “moo”.’ ’Yzerman says “we’re looking at the bpa when we pick”.’ To me - it’s all semantics...Every team worth a damn employs several amateur scouts that covers N.America, and Europe...We all know that as human beings we all have our preferences...It’s a meeting of the minds during the days ahead of any particular draft that determines which player is deemed ‘bpa’...NHL final rankings - Button’s final rankings - etc - be damned...After the top 2, or 3 picks - anything can happen, and it can be a total crapshoot. Yzerman has proven to be a more than competent GM in Tampa...I’m certain he’ll have his $hit together for tonight.

Teams like we’ve discussed are just weary of taking goalies early ... it’s become a position where you can pretty much win with average to good goalies not great , habs got a lot of s*** for taking price and it worked out fine just saying if someone truly believes he’s a #1 stud goalie then it’s not a risk taking him 10-15 hopefully something happens , I’m hoping to god we can take in some bad contracts for a year and add 2-3 1sts/2nds to use your right , been so much Callahan talk I was thinking of tampa’s 27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't take a goalie that early for the same reasons you mention. I'm also very confident that one of Larsson, Eliasson or Petruzzelli will become a number one in a few years. I wouldn't count on adding multiple picks at this point... Maybe one trade gets done on the floor, but aside from a trade up / back, I wouldn't count on any player movement from the Wings... Maybe though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God I f***en hope they become star goalies I just don’t wanna leave anything to chance , if anything we’d have nice trade bait I think we need to add picks just saw on twitter not sure it’s true ... get ready to panic guys we like seider but don’t wanna draft him at 6 and would wanna move back .... Christ sake f*** , no problem with seider I think he can be a stud but for f*** we need to pick at #6 , unless that guy will be there at like 8(thinking podkolzin , whoever) and if we want that d so badly package players/picks to flyers 11 and take seider f*** , flyers have a ton of d prospects and the way they been acting they wanna win now and + the flyers prior rumours flyers 11th is for the taking .... AA +3rd or whatever and we end up with podkolzin/zegras/cozens(ugh) + seider for AA and 3rd we get a forward 7-8 years younger and a future dman who should be a stud at 6’4 ... that’s the move to make as much as people love athanasiou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't see teams taking goalies in the top part of the 1st round. Particularly one who played in an all-star team and was never really challenged all season.
