GDT: Draft Lotto - Rollin for Nolan. 8(ish)PM. DEVILS PICK 1ST OVERALL

[Zippy316]

And I only see Shero doing it with the intention to either try and land a bigger fish in a trade or trade back into the first.

Really depends on how they feel about the later draft board and how much they can get. Depends where Vanc ends up too.

The hope would be Vancouver doesn't end up too far back.

Hypothetically, if the Devils end up #1 and the Canucks end up #3, do you take #3 + Virtanen (?) + 2017 3rd? Still get your pick of the second tier, pick up a close-to-NHL ready RW, and another pick.

Obviously, a lot of hypotheticals here, but we have little else to discuss.

I don't think I do that deal if it is Virtanen.

I'm not sure they have enough to make a deal work IMO

What could the Canucks possibly offer that would interest us...an unprotected 1st rounder next year and??? They're about as barren as we are.

depends on where the canucks end up being. Say devils get 1st, canucks get 2nd. I'd happily move the 1st for their first plus their 1st next yr. would they? who knows.

If canucks have the 5th, I'm not sure.

I think its enough to consider, depends what you think of Virtanen. Just can't see them dealing their second and Virtanen's probably the most interesting piece they would move.

I don't think Vancouver will be foolish enough to trade their first round pick next year where the top of the draft looks to have the elite talent this one doesn't.

Same, but at the same time I'm not sure I take anything less.

You could also have the title as wishin for Hisch or No D for Cody

Is the draft lottery going to be televised as part of the pregame of the penguins game?

Neither do I, but apparently vancouver is extremely high on patrick and I'm not trading the 1st overall for anything less from them (other than some of their prospects whom they def. won't trade).

How about a deal like the 3rd OA and Boeser for 1st OA and Bastian

 

[SeidoN]

How about a deal like the 3rd OA and Boeser for 1st OA and Bastian

if we have 1st overall we use it. no question to me

 

[Cheddabombs]

There's no way that the difference between 3rd and 1st is Boeser.

 

[Emperoreddy]

There's no way that the difference between 3rd and 1st is Boeser.

And with us sending a player back so it is really less then Boeser.

No way I do that deal.

 

[Zippy316]

There's no way that the difference between 3rd and 1st is Boeser.

I mean, it depends on the draft board.

If Devils have Mittlestadt #1 on their board, then trading from #1 to #3 could be seen as picking up a free asset. Or if they have Mittlestadt #2 and aren't sold on Patrick at #1, then it could make sense depending on the asset.

 

[Edmonton East]

1) Devils
2) Vegas
3) Avs

Possibly the first time I've made an optimistic post on here.

 

[Emperoreddy]

We are so picking 8 because of the last page.

 

[nugg]

Fact: The Devils have never picked 1st overall.

I do that deal so fast the heads spin on everyone in British Columbia.

That's not to say Canucks GM Jim Benning would make such a deal. He made some great trades at the deadline and fleeced the Panthers for Gudbranson in the off-season. He's far from an ideal GM, but he's solid at trading.

About an hour until we find out our fate.

So we're due in other words lol

Of course we did acquire at least two #1 overalls in trades.

If Boeser is in this draft, he's a slam dunk top-10 pick. The kid has terrific upside.

Well they did win the lottery in 2011 with 3.6% odds, but back then you could only move up 4 spots, taking Larsson 4th.

Kovy, Hall, Mel Bridgeman (1975). Not sure if any others.

Rob Ramage was 1st overall in 79 for the Rockies, who later became the Devils, but not quite the same

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

I'm gonna guess we pick 7th.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I'm gonna guess we pick 7th.

me too

We need more glass half full
