town123 169 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 Craig Button suggested that if the Leafs won the draft, needing a defenceman, they could flip the #1 to Ottawa for #3 & #5, and take Drysdale at 3. I'm going to puke no matter who wins it. I'll be happiest with the Jets I guess. This really sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 I’m expecting Pittsburgh, Toronto or Edmonton to get it. I’m expecting to be disappointed. Outside of being a bit of a Canes fan now that I’m down here, this league exists to disappoint me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 Well at least the Rangers were a lottery team to begin with! I guess that'll save some face for the NHL. But NYR are looking pretty good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
town123 169 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 So..... about that Oilers 2nd rounder. I keep seeing #51 on the update ? lists, but, shouldn't it be #45 if EDM has the 14th best record? Just a little confused. I know it's not a huge deal... but it is lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) also on an even better note, since Toronto didn't get the #1, and they are sitting in the 13th spot, the have to surrender their pick to Carolina in the Marleau deal. The condition was if they get a top 10 pick they can opt to give them the 2021 pick. and just to confirm this...

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 I didn't really want the Rangers to win it. Would have preferred any of the Western Conference teams, but I'm just happy it's not Toronto. And the fact that they also have to give up their 13th overall to Carolina, makes it that much sweeter... 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLGTrico 603 Report post Posted August 10, 2020 My only problem with the Rangers getting 1st overall is, as I mentioned earlier, that division has been WAY too lucky in the lottery that last 4 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,914 Report post Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) 16 hours ago, krsmith17 said: Vancouver - Eriksson St. Louis - Steen Nashville - Turris Ok, lets say (one of) these teams are that player and the 1st round pick to us, in your opinion what are we sending back? (just so you know Vancouver traded their 2020 1st round) New Jersey has it. (They have THREE 1st round picks!! yikes!) Also Nashville has the 11th OA pick, not sure they are gonna trade that, but maybe the 2021 1st round. So, lets say then, since STL is the only one with a 2020 1st round pick that they'd be willing to trade, what would the return be for Steen and the 1st? Also, not that it couldn't be waived, but Steen has a NTC. I wonder if Dallas would be willing to move Ben Bishop? He has a NMC that would have to be waived, but maybe his relationship with Yzerman would entice him to do so? I know he has 3 more years after this one left on his contract, but that could be good for us. Taking on 100% of his salary, plus the fact that it's not just a 1 year rental, we could probably easily get Dallas' 2020 1st round pick. Plus he would be a good guy to have with Bernier next season, then who knows beyond that. Also,he could be the goalie we have to protect because right now, they only G we have that will be under contract in 2021 (for the expansion draft) that would need protection is Fulcher. Everyone else becomes a UFA in 2021. It might be better than signing a UFA (big money) G. Bishop is at $4.9M for the next 3 years. Right now Dallas is sitting in the 24 spot in the draft, but if they lose in the 1st round, it could move in to the teens. The only thing is they do have $19M in cap space next season. They do have some valuable RFA's they need to re-sign, plus Janmark is a UFA. We could hope maybe they want to get into the UFA sweepstakes this year and want to clear space. Anyhow, that being said, in additition to the above idea's from our esteemed colleague KRS, I wonder what the return would be if Dallas wanted to play? Steen + 1st for? Bishop + 1st for?
