The Zetterberg Era
Ball Hockey Sucks
Please continue discussing and let's try to keep this to actual amateur draft talk this time please gang.
And I really hope they do. Anybody compare the forwards and defensemen projected around 25-30th overall? That should be doable in exchange for their last two 2nd rounders.If we want a pick in the 20s, we should be looking to deal a couple of our seconds to sneak in there.
Has Yzerman ever traded up?
7th round pick, but I guess he is willing to move up when there's someone like Point available. Not sure if it was necessary, but you can't argue witt the outcome.April 19th, 2019, Yzerman traded up by rejoining the greatest NHL franchise. I won’t accept any rebuttal.
Edit: he traded up one spot to draft Brayden Point, if memory serves.
Have you watched Hirose play yet? There's your playmaker. We just need 3 more Larkins so we have one on each line, though I'd prefer to have 18 Larkins.On a more topical note, as much as I love the idea of drafting Larkin 2.0, our team can really use some playmaking creativity from both the forward and defense groups. I literally can't see myself hating anyone we pick at either 6th or 9thish, unless it's an outrageous reach.
Alex Turcotte and Krebs fall into that category imoWithout Discussing the #1 D man available, or the top 2 picks...
Of the remaining class...
Who is listed as a big character guy, coachable, strong drive, leadership, 2-way forward?
This describes a wide amount of our picks... I wonder if we stick with that even with Yzerman as the GM.
I hope so. Don't forget we drafted Berggren and bring Hirose toWithout Discussing the #1 D man available, or the top 2 picks...

There are definitely character guys like that (Turcotte/Krebs), but I wouldn't describe them as "big". Hopefully that particular draft strategy is consigned to the garbage can.Without Discussing the #1 D man available, or the top 2 picks...

Yup was gonna edit my post but to busy watching that Caps gamePodkolzin is one of these too. He always wears a letter and has a big time motor. He is a lot like Landeskog.

Still hoping we get lucky and nobody else is thinking D.
If we were to pick someone "off the board" who do you think that would be?
