Sort of sucks since theres a top 9. But I wouldnt be suprised if a player like Veleno goes in the top 9. Some club will want a center.

 

[Del Preston]

Sens fans are very mad.

 

[MoontoScott]

3 teams in need remain in the running and that seems reasonable to me.

When I see that Chia guy sitting there he just creeps me out. I just can't get a warm and fuzzy on this person.

 

[Canovin]

I don't have faith in Chia trading the pick for anything worthwhile

 

[MessierII]

Faulk is a garbage player that has been the worst defensive dman in the league for last 7 years and a big reason why Canes have missed playoffs 9 straight years, Do people even watch these players or just watch stats. Faulk makes us a worse team not better he is a pylon 5/5 literal pylon

Ridiculous Faulk would help this team. Playing on a second pair and QBing the pp he would be a perfect fit here.

 

[McTonyBrar]

its all Chiarelli's fault

 

[McTedi]

I thought forsure Buffalo was going to fall out of the top 3 lol

All 3 teams badly need the help, will be interesting to see who gets Dahlin

Send him to the Habs or the Canes, out of sight out of mind. Trade this pick, get some D!!!

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

Hurricane fans must be thrilled. Either a dynamic offensive player in the top 3 or Dahlin allowing them to move one of their existing defenseman for a dynamic offensive player or goaltender.

New GM, old one "let go" fo rnot making any roster player trades. Should make for a good trade target if we want a piece from them

 

[Aerrol]

Lol and so the one thing that might have been exciting about this off season doesn't come to pass. I guess we start the disappointment early.

 

[FlameChampion]

I have the same fear. I think hes going to make a trade thats just dumb.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Also happy that if we didn't get Dahlin, that he will be in the other conference! Especially happy he's not going to Vancouver!

 

[Raab]

I don't mind those teams in the top 3. They could all use some help. I'm probably cheering for Carolina to win #1.

Can you imagine that defence! Holy crap

 

[Hynh]

So now which team should we want to win?

Carolina because their d become more available?
Buffalo if that gets us Risto?
Montreal doesn't really have anyone we'd want or need..

Carolina gets Dahlin because they don't need D
Montreal gets Svechnikov so the Montreal media can hate him for not speaking French
Buffalo takes Tkachuk because they were rumored to have him in their top 3

 

[Zaddy]

Don't really like any of those teams as a landing spot for Dahlin, but I guess at least the Canucks didn't win him. Habs was one of my least favorite teams to win the lottery though so hopefully they're only 2nd or 3rd. I guess it would be some sort of poetic justice if the Sabres won it after losing out on McDavid.

I probably rather the Canes win it even though they're like the most meh team in the league that I always forget about even exists. But they actually do have some talented players now and a young up and coming team so Dahlin would fit very nicely into that, unless their new cheap-skate owner comes in and meddles and makes everything worse.

Thanks for showing you just look at his stats ridicoulus if you think he helps a team when he has been a negative impact player his whole career , He gives up way more 5/5 than he gives on a PP lmao no logic whatsoever when it comes to player evaulations . He has been Canes number 1 /7 years and they have never sniffed playoffs with way more competent other dman on their club he is a horrible defender lol .

 

[belair]

I missed it, oh well. We were always taking Ty Smith anyways. Drafting him at 10 just makes it less of a reach.

 

[BarDownBobo]

Could very well happen. I'd be very surprised if one of the top 9 doesn't drop.

Kotkaniemi is making a good case to go higher at the u18s, he's been fantastic for the Finns.

 

[McTedi]

Hard to read posts in between all of the dumb I hate Chia posts. I get the hate but please contain it to the flaming POS Chia thread.

 

[nexttothemoon]

There's good players at #10. There is no big drop from 9 to 10.

I do think there's a higher chance that the #10 pick is dealt now by the Oilers.

I think Chia will be working hard to pry a puck moving PP dman from some team out there and that #10 pick could very likely be part of a package to get that player.

 

[EDMOILERS9729]

MTL is top 3 but they need centers. Interesting to see what theyll do.

Ridiculous bias emotionally driven post that I’m not going to bother picking apart.

They need everything. Dahlin and Svechnikov are no-brainers for them. At #3 maybe they do something different.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

If he's trading that thing, it better be a damn home run.
No more bubble player reclamation projects.

Before Chiarelli: four #1s
With Chiarelli: bumped two spots in 2016, bumped one spot today

Face the facts.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Carolina still haunts us 12 years later.
