krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted April 4, 2019 My top 10... 1. Jack Hughes 2. Kaapo Kakko 3. Dylan Cozens 4. Alex Turcotte 5. Trevor Zegras 6. Bowen Byram 7. Vasili Podkolzin 8. Kirby Dach 9. Phillip Broberg 10. Matthew Boldy Top 3 are the only 3 that have been set in stone for a while now. The other 7 change depending on the day... Regardless where we end up picking, we should get a really good player... 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has no basis in reality. It's the stretchiest of stretches. It's the reachiest of reaches. It's the twistiest, turniest of pretzels. It's sophistry.

We really need difference makers on defense though, and this is probably going to be our best shot to land one. The idea of Bowen Byram in the first is really starting to grow on me. He's having a.... Giant... season in the WHL, and is still only 17. In a weird way, I’m starting to hope for Byram. Maybe I’m resigning myself to the inevitable, but as frustrating as it’s been getting wins solely when considering how it affects our chance of getting the highest draft choices, the reality is a lot of our young guys are really starting to look good on offense. We could really use some more strong prospects on defense however. Not sure if he could go next year, but you never know. If we fall out of top 3, I don’t think Byram is a bad pickup at all. I wouldn’t be disappointed. 2 Dabura and amato reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hughes does that and he's even better at it. And he's a much better playmaker. I go back to Karlsson and Datsyuk. It's that kind of thing. Hughes can and will skate NHL opponents into the ground, but to suggest that he's AA (i.e. basically only has his skating and some decent skill) is the lamest of lame sauce. Not tomatoe sauce?

I wouldn’t be disappointed. Problem is your assuming we finish 5th , he could be gone at 4th lol If we fall back though we have to go for a dman broberg/soderstrom or trade back and get an extra pick and till get one of them or one of the fin d’s or the German kid, maybe even consider trading a mantha or AA if edm gets the 4th pick and draft byram since they’re so desperate to get wingers to play with mcdavid , maybe throw in a helm with some cap space paid for them to throw in puljujarvi AA gets another 30 goals he’s gonna be a headache to resign, he was a headache prior to doing anything he gets 30 again he’s gonna want 7-8 per and I don’t think I’d go that high and witha. Bunch of kids coming in zadina,veleno etc... we have a bunch of stuff to think about and I swear if ken Holland doesn’t pull the trigger and get rid of mike green when he’s hot and decides to wait near trade deadline and gets hurt and we miss out on another 1st rounder he should be dragged out of the building 3 hours ago, ChristopherReevesLegs said: I'm expecting to pick at the lowest 7.

Either way, a very good player. I don’t see Kakko as a superstar either. Very good player.” Clearly a grieving Red Wings scout. Kind of inconsiderate of the Bobfather to ask for his opinion when the poor man is in mourning. 1 nyqvististhefuture reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Green had a NTC. He controlled where and if/when he was traded. Then he got injured. Can't fault Holland for that. And the TDL is exactly when u trade rental players. Teams are clamoring to bolster their rosters and pay more. Waiting until the TDL was the smart move then and will be again this season (assuming Green waives his NTC).

Whatever the case he should take full of advantage if green gets to a hot start and move his ass around the holiday season to avoid injuries if he can land a 1st rd pick , it would be a big mistake if we miss out on the opportunity of adding a 1st in 2020 sadly just saw limited ntc till feb 1 ... well we ship his ass feb 1 Edited April 4, 2019 by nyqvististhefuture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
