[Magic Mittens]

I'm leaning towards keeping the 3rd and moving the 29th, but if we got a really good player at 3, or traded down to 5/6 I'd be alright with that

I'm driving to BC today and will be on the road during the draft #@#&*!!!!

 

[OttMorrow]

My wishlist for today:


#3 OA
- No reaches
- Not Vilardi

#29
- Catch a faller...even it's Vilardi lol. Kidding, kidding.

 

[Mr Misty]

I'm leaving for the draft soon which is why I have a favor to ask the HF Stars community.

Please make a thread for the picks we make instead of letting a 3rd party website get there first. Don't let some other folks have the last word on creating these threads. See what I did there? So clever. Being mad about how they screwed this up is our thing, I don't want to see that the thread for us drafting Popugaev at #3 was started by the name of some other site.

Do you want me to do what I have done in the past?

I think I might actually have time tonight and this weekend to do that. I usually just do one thread, and I try to get all the picks in the first 3 or 4 posts.

 

[BigG44]

It's been a couple of years since I've done it, but this is what I'm talking about:

I can take care of that, should it happen.

 

[LT]

Chicago is making things... interesting...

 

[Starry Knight]

I enjoyed those threads

 

[LT]

Hjalmarsson to ARZ for Murphy and Dauphin.

Panarin, Motte, 2017 6th to CBJ for Saad, Forsberg, 2018 5th.

I don't understand. They get more term, but they still had two years of the superior players locked up.

On Patrick or Hischer dropping to #3

It’s highly possible, because we are talking about one team’s preference and not an actual draft ranking.

The New Jersey Devils have the No. 1 pick and they are very high on Makar, so if he goes No. 1 it shouldn’t be a shock.

Trading #3

There are lots of players, too many to list in fact. But the type of players the Stars are hoping for likely isn’t available, meaning Dallas will likely hold onto the No. 3 pick.

 

[Mr Misty]

I think it is easier to find that stuff later if each pick gets their own thread, and 1st round picks are significant enough to warrant their own threads IMO. But obviously you folks can do whatever you'd like.

 

[BigG44]

Just for fun, if Patrick really falls to #3, do you go to #6 if Vegas gives you #13 or #15? Personally I say yes, in a heart beat. Vegas shouldn't make that trade, but apparently they really, really want Patrick.

At 6 and 13 or 15, you're getting Glass or Middelstadt probably, maybe even Vilardi, and you're probably getting a shot at one of the other two really solid Finnish D available or plenty of high end forwards.

I'd be a little hesitant if you had to add 29 or 39 to make that deal. In fact, I'd rather just stay at 3 probably if that was the case.

I think 3+29 for 6+15+Methot is probably fair.

If Nico and Heiskanen are gone before the Stars pick, I'd trade back.

Vegas wants Patrick.

 

[Hull Fan]

Keep Methot. I'd rather see if Vegas would move Reilly Smith as a cap dump. They need to shed money.

3 for 6 15 and Smith.

If Vegas really, really wants Patrick, make them bleed for it. Otherwise take whichever one falls and walk up to the podium knowing you won a fantastic player in the lottery.

 

[Dallasman]

Why don't we want Patrick? Kid scored 102 points in his 17 year old season in the WHL, which is not known as a scoring league...

 

[Morry83]

Yeah I'll take Patrick and be very, very happy.

Recurring injury problems and the general consensus he maxes out as a second-line centre at best.

NY already moved to 7, but it looks like they are rebuilding a bit.

#3+#29+Nichuskin+what else for McDonagh??

Yeah I'd rather have Glass or Vilardi and another asset then Patrick. Both very well could end up being better then Patrick.

Is Jason Robertson projected to go around the 29th pick area, or earlier?

In this very unreasonable hypothetical (still fun), the gap between Patrick and Vilardi/Glass/Middelstadt is not large IMO. If you get a Top 15 pick plus one of those players, it seems like a big win.

For arguments sake .... I think it might be nice to have Glass, Valimaki and 29 than Patrick. I wouldn't want Glass and Valimaki if it mean you gave up 29 though ... well wouldn't want it as much.
