Indeed. but most of what I hear about him is top end potential and that worries me. how well can we help develop a player to full potential?

I'm a bit wary if we do draft either Monahan or Shinkaruk that we'll just throw him into the NHL just like Larsson and Matteau.
and if that were to happen I would rather just draft Lindholm or Nichushkin then, their more NHL ready.

Patrick Roy told Joe Sakic today that the team needs to study the possibility of trading the team first round pick in a month. #RDS

New Avs coach/VP Patrick Roy just said on NHL Network, "It's possible that we move our 1st pick. This is something we've been talking about"

Luckily for Lou and Deboer, there may not actually be room on the team for a rookie next year. We can only hope...

Hi, I'm mat.
@adater It's a very real possibility Avs might trade No. 1 pick, or try to trade to get top two picks. Gonna be interesting

LINDY RUFF NEEDS VIAGRA!!
What will it take for the Devils and Avs to be able to make a deal involving the Avs Pick?
I'm curious about that....(could be a very hefty price, though)

Year i was born... and the draft is on my birthday... Maybe i should try and get a ticket all the stars seem to be lining up for a move to #1!!

I could definitely see the Flyers inquiring with the Avs about their pick to try and take Jones, but it would likely cost them one of their young forwards along with their pick and I don't see the Avs doing that, unless they thought they could move up.
If I were Lou I would at least call up the Avs to see what might be available on the roster with all the changes in their front office. Sounds like Sherman has seen his role and/or voice drastically reduced there now.

Maybe this has already been discussed: But #9 to Columbus for 2 of their # 1's?
Could NJ get back the #14, and the #19? The #14 and the #23? The #19 and #23? Would Columbus be interested? Would any of yall be interested?

Again, may have been discussed. but Bleacher Report has NJ taking Nichuskin.

Under the scenario the devils trade down and pick up an additional pick (if the deal is worthwhile obviously) I would be alright with nabbing zykov. Never seen him play but based on what I hear......where does everyone project him to go (AKA possible trade partners to swap with)
We'll see in a few hours where LA's pick ends up. Getting two of their 1sts is probably unlikely unless they absolutely love somebody that's available in our range. In 2007, St. Louis (current Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen was their head scout) wanted to trade up for Jakub Voracek. They offered #9 and #24 to Edmonton for #6 but were rebuffed.
I could see Columbus making an offer like that to Edmonton at #7 for somebody like Elias Lindholm. If Lindholm were to slip to #9, I would hope that we would just take him. There's a good chance that one of the D (Nurse/Ristolainen/Zadorov) would be the BPA at #14 and Columbus has pretty much stated an intention to load up on forwards.
Trading down for more picks is always dangerous. I'd only move down if I was confident in landing somebody in particular. I wouldn't trade down solely to add another first round pick.
The cautionary tale would be Anaheim in 2008. They traded #12 for #17 and #28 which seems like good value. They also were intending to draft Erik Karlsson. Ottawa then jumped up from #18 to #15 for Karlsson. Anaheim then drafted Jake Gardiner at #17. Later they traded #28 for #35 and #39. With those picks they ended up with Nicolas Deschamps and Eric O'Dell.
Naturally with hindsight, they should have just taken Karlsson at #12 and dealt with armchair GMs laughing about them "reaching." The extra picks sound great until you have to put names there on the spot. Ie, last year most people were lambasting Columbus for not trading #2 to the Islanders for a bevy of picks. But when I asked those people to name who they would have chosen, most couldn't come up with anybody.
If I'm trading down, I still think Phoenix (#12) or Winnipeg (#13) are our best bets. Still would reasonably guarantee that you'd get a Domi/Shinkaruk/Horvat.
There'd be some interesting names in the 20s, but moving down to #14 seems to put us out of range of the top forward prospects. Instead of Domi/Shinkaruk, we're probably talking Wennberg/Burakowsky/Mantha. Just seems like a tier drop there.

Has he ever scored a lot of goals in a season?
A lot of these Euro prospects have scoring potential but have not done a lot of scoring like the North American prospects.

He was third on his KHL team in playoff goal scoring. Which isn't bad for a 17 year old.

I know they play in pro leagues but their potential of scoring is unknown. Juniors players such as Drouin and MacKinnon are proven goal scorers.
