The 91 of Ryans 3,015 Report post Posted March 2, 2023 10 minutes ago, kipwinger said: It's top 10 protected. And while I expect Boston to be worse next year, there's no way they're going to be bad enough to fall into the top ten. It's a really good pick. It'll probably land in the low 20s, unless Bergeron and Krejci retire and Pastrnak walks in free agency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,524 Report post Posted March 2, 2023 Just now, mackel said: I'm actually hoping both picks get punted in that case, in both cases the teams will be worse and the lotto is very much in play. I'd be okay with that in the case of the Boston pick, but I'd rather we use the Islanders pick to move up and get a top center this year. If we can move up and take Carlsson or Fantilli and then pick three times in the 2nd round this could be the draft that essentially ends the rebuild. Just now, The 91 of Ryans said: Dude.

Do you really think any team will concede a top 2 - 4 pick for two picks in the 10 - 16 range (or whatever)? 2 minutes ago, kipwinger said: I'd be okay with that in the case of the Boston pick, but I'd rather we use the Islanders pick to move up and get a top center this year.

Do you really think any team will concede a top 2 - 4 pick for two picks in the 10 - 16 range (or whatever)? In theory yes, but obviously there are tons of variables. The teams, the value of Detroit's picks, what we're willing to add. I'm using our two first rounders as a starting point. Obviously if it's a team that's just starting their rebuild (and therefore expecting to be bad for a while) having a bunch of high value picks might be worthwhile. It's hard to do, and rare, but we've got the picks to do it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prolly Lindstrom too for the warm body. And we prolly recall Eddogg and Sodastream. So $31ish to spend on a backup G, a RHD, a center, and an extra winger.
