2019 Draft Thread: We Already Got a Kaapo

[Dr Jan Itor]

I like Caufield's on-ice character. Always smiling. Probably an 8.75

Do you ever get tired of being a jackass? Because you sure aren't funny.

1. No, I do not.

2. I'm funny to the only person I care about being funny to, which is me.

3. Your not showing a lot of message board character calling people jackasses.

I think that the Dr. is funny. Not as funny as thinking you could judge a person's character through your television. certainly not as funny as believing in such a thing as "on ice character" but funny nonetheless

Kind of a bad format for mobile, but am I tripping or did that mock have Turcotte sitting there at 11?

Basically gives us the choice of Turcotte and Krebs, but is reliant on Detroit really reaching for a defenseman.

I wonder about the Red Wings being a trade partner. They are pretty forward heavy organizationally, as far as their U25 group goes, and #12 would be defensible spot to take Soderstrom/Harley/Broberg.

I don't know what the pick math is to jump from 12 to 6 though.

id assume that might be a zucker type trade? but if they are forward heavy maybe a brodin + 12oa?

I was hoping it would be just picks: 1st + 2nd + 5th (or something like ), but Detroit already has three 2nd round picks in this draft, so I don't know how much value they'd place on another one.

I bet Brodin + 12 gets them on the phone. What about Brodin + 12 for 6 and their middle 2nd? This would be assuming that the guy we really want (Turcotte, for example) is still on the board.

That seems a little steep. And I know I’ve advocated trading Zucker to move up to 7/8 for the right guy, but that’s under the premise that the alternative is trading him for another 22 year old middle six player that we don’t need any more of.

I’d wonder if we could get some kind of decent addition to 6oa if we’re giving Brodin+12, like a 2nd.

you two sharing a brain on this one? im just guessing based off what jan said about them being forward heavy. i would have to think brodin + 12 for 6+ middle 2nd sounds appetizing to them.

I'm just assuming.

Larkin, Mantha, Zadina, AA, Bertuzzi, E. Svechnikov, Rasmussen, Veleno

vs.

Cholowski, Hronek

 

[AJ Thelen]

Caufield scores again. 12 goals in 5 games. Decent.

 

[Bazeek]

Guess we can all love Craig Button now.

I'd be cool with it.

its odd seeing turcotte dropping out of the top ten in 2 mock drafts as of lately. good signs for us hopefully

 

[AJ Thelen]

Is he falling because 'everyone' else is tearing it up?

 

[DeagleJenkins]

caufield tearing it up is gonna drop C our way it seems but we have to bank on someone taking a defenseman other than byram ahead of us.

 

[Bazeek]

Is he falling because 'everyone' else is tearing it up?

My hope is that the second tier of guys that was thought to run from #3 to about #10 actually extends down to #13 or so, and that the mocks are starting to reflect that.

 

[Goose312]

I don't know if he's really falling at all. Caufield is rising for sure, but these are just 1 person's rankings. Which include 2 defenders going in the top 10 that no one else has going in the first half of the draft. It's a bit click baity.

iv actually seen soderstrom and hartley going to us at 12 more than once each.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Button's mock was reliant on two defensemen not named Byram going ahead of us in the top 10. Almost nobody has any (I see the occasional Soderstrom, but not too often). I'd still consider it an unlikely scenario.

Very cool

I already ordered a newhook jersey so we have to draft him
