Find a number two center, ideally a #1What should be the plan for the draft in terms of trades?
I'm sure Hoffman will be available still.Trade? are there any available?
Personally, I would keep our 1st at all costs. Hopefully one of Sobotka/Berglund can get an extra 2nd round pick which we can use to move up, or we can just keep them. We need to stock up, especially on RD and C. Another G prospect couldn't hurt either.What should be the plan for the draft in terms of trades?
That's not an easy task.Find a number two center, ideally a #1
From the previous thread.With Stastny now gone... worth a thought.
Fabbri-Draisaitl-Tarasenko
Schwartz-Schenn-Kyrou
Kostin-Thomas-Thompson
Would we still have issues scoring goals?
From the previous thread.
If Draisatl has still been playing with McD instead of centering his own line, I want absolutely nothing to do with that contract, let alone what EDM would want in return. 8.5/7yrs no thanks.
That's just it. Isn't this hypothetically an easier problem to solve then the age old Blues question "Where are we gonna get a 1C". I'd much rather be on the hunt for a top4 RHD, then a 1C. Not to mention Draisaitl's age fits in perfect with our 'Big 4' + Fabbri(please be healthy). You legit can build around these kids for the next 7+ years. All those years being 'prime' age years for Leon.What sort of 20+min a night top4 RHD are we getting to replace the enormous hole that trading Parayko will leave?

Meh. Terrible defensively, especially when compared to Parayko.John Carlson?

I would rather keep Parayko, but now that we are discussing his hypothetical replacement, I would rather have Chris Tanev. Sound at both ends. I think if we traded Parayko, it is what Colton provides defensively that we would miss the most. It may not appear on the score sheet, but we would really feel that loss.I’ve never really watched him play, I just know he puts up good offensive numbers.
but we don't know if thats what Drai's going to be, as we've never really seen him be succesful in that role to any degree.
Very much soI'm still not sold on Draisaitl as a true #1. Doesn't he fade away when not flanking Mcdavid?

Lots to process here, but takeaway to me is he is a fine player but with McDavid he looks like a superstar and without he doesn't.Very much so

Forgot about RNH.I don't think Armstrong has plans to move Parayko pretty much ever. I think there is a possibility that we are looking into the following centers for next season, and I think they will be available: Stastny, Tavares, and RNH. I think we'll grab one of those guys, and we'll likely be experimenting with Fabbri, Barbashev, Thompson, Thomas, and Sanford at center.
