Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXIII:Stepping up next? A Top Ten pick???

[GoAwayPanarin]

Dreger just reported we are offering 7 + 21 for the 3rd overall pick. CALLED IT. Well kind of. I said 2nd

I hope not.

Unless they know something we don't, this just seems so unnecessary.

Moving back and recouping picks would be great but I'm curious how people would feel about Yamamoto at 21?

Assuming we take a fwd at 7 I'd prefer a D man with 21. But Yamamoto at 21 seems like a good pick; I think he'll do very well in the league that just kept getting quicker

No just keep both picks

Hmmm, who called it?

 

[Raspewtin]

trading up to three would be so stupid unless it's guaranteed Petersson would go before us

 

[RGY]

So dumb. Keep the picks and restock the farm

 

[mike14]

Wasn't Vegas keen to trade up? they could outbid us for 3 pretty easily

I hope they do.

Youll still get a solid pick at 7

 

[Gardner McKay]

Hmmm, who called it?

Both of us? I said it yesterday! But I don't have sources. Im just going off instinct

He's gone at 5

If Hirshcier (sp) or Patrick are available you think it is a mistake?

If you can't get Makar, what's the point?

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If they take Vilardi I'm gonna drink all the whiskey on Chicago

Do it George, make another trade.

 

[TheTakedown]

Yeah what the hell is Florida up to?

 

[The Undertaker]

I haven't really followed any prospects leading up to the draft this year. All I've heard is that it's a weaker draft. Is there anyone who we might grab at 3 that would be worth the 7 and 21? Is there a drop off after the first 2, 3, 5, 10, etc.?

 

[DutchShamrock]

If niemi gets bought out, is there any interest on a short term sub $2m per year deal. Could Allaire work magic here? Or do we just look elsewhere, low risk/ low ceiling backup?

I thought Kinkaid would do well here with our goalie coach. obviously at very low cost 1-2 years.

 

[mike14]

I hope they do.

Youll still get a solid pick at 7

That's my thought. There's enough talent at 7 to justify keeping that and the hopefully good player you can get at 21.
Now is not the time to be greedy

Fair enuff. Lets see if we are right. Soon.I think there might be an added twist here

 

[Ola]

Jas- On Mittlestad being NHL ready, yeah I am not surprised that is being reported. He is such a great skater. Look at what Marner did this season with his skating alone, although he slowed down during the year. Realistically Mittlestad need at least a year -- but he could also raise some eyes instantly.

Think he would be our target at 3 if not one of Nico or Patrick falls.

 

[bubba5]

Boy. Wrong yearn for this. Can't wait to we get Pavel Brendl 2

Ugh. Don't do it, Gorton!

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If they trade with Dallas, could see them taking a bad goalie contract too

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Staal + 7+ 21 for 3 + bad goalie contract.
