How did we get #7?

 

[57special]

If we ever got #7, I would hope that we could do a deal to move down a couple of spots, as I am pretty sure that there are teams who would like to start taking the top Dmen around that spot. To me, I don't see a big difference between Brown, Keller, or Jost, and even McLeod, Kunin and Rubtsov could be just as good. The Amin thing is that whoever we pick has top 6 talent...even better if they have top line potential.

Move to #7OA and we'd probably get the best D in the draft (not a bad thing).

Taking a FWD (unless Tkachuck or Dubois fall), is kind of a waste.

Keller homeboy.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Keller. Then Brown/Jost.

Gotta go BPA with Chychrun.

 

[57special]

Gotta trade spot if BPA is Chychrun. We have too many D as is.

I don't want to have to spell Chychrun over the next ten years. Tkachuk, either.

It won't be at 15. He'll be long gone.

Might as well stick with what we know and can develop? Trade the pick I agree with, reaching so we get the 7th FWD over the 1st choice at D-man is bad.

I voted Keller, but I would be happy with either Chychrun or Brown at #7 as well. What I really feel is that if we're in that spot, we're better off trading down, or up if it's not too late. Either to get one of these players a little later, or to get Dubois, respectively. But I truly believe Brown or Keller could be very good NHL players, and Chychrun is a good defenseman that makes our pool even deeper, and you don't pass on BPA if that's what you think he is. Still not really sure how we traded up to 7 for this. Moving up to 7 I think would require a nice asset, and depending on what htat asset is, that might affect who we would want to pick, here.
