I think theres no way he gets to us, but it screams Sharks pick if he doesGrab Hendrix Lapierre, go big or go home. Hope he hits, best we can do for the late first

Yeah I don’t see him getting past Ottawa’s third pick in the twenty range. At that point the sens would be crazy not to take a chance.I think theres no way he gets to us, but it screams Sharks pick if he does
Maybe they trade down/out though, makes a lot of sense to get picks next year for ones this year and divide the young contracts up.Yeah I don’t see him getting past Ottawa’s third pick in the twenty range. At that point the sens would be crazy not to take a chance.
I also would not rule out DW acquiring another 1st round pick between now and the draft.Fair enough, I guess end of the day it all depends on whos picked and whos around at our picks that the org likes. Doug loves to trade up and down lots so I could see either being a possibility. I do put some trust in Doug Jr though as his 2018 and 2019 drafts have impressed me so far.
I think hes going to work hard. Hes done it in the past with 2015, so he knows what needs to happenI also would not rule out DW acquiring another 1st round pick between now and the draft.
Could see a move like Burns+Gambrell+Sorensen to Dallas for 1st+Hintz+Cogliano (+/- a piece on either side for fair value if necessary, just spitballing) to acquire another 1st rounder while also clearing cap space for a forward upgrade. Would then have two 1st and two 2nd to really revamp the prospect pool, or you could package the Dallas+Tampa picks and move into the top 10 if there is a guy you really want in that spot (cough cough Zary).
One way or another, DW has a tremendous amount of work to do once this lockdown ends from a trade and free agency standpoint to get this team back to being playoff caliber while also restocking the prospect pool through the draft.
Same, ive really been learning up on the draft since quarantine started. As long as Doug doesnt reach too far I think we should get two pretty decent prospects with our first and second picksAll I know is there are a ton of players in this draft I’d love to have, I keep going back and forth between several prospects.

Doubt that Burns waives for Winnipeg. Dallas is the only place I see him waiving to go to given he owns a home in TX and also is very close with Pavelski down there.I wonder if the Stars would do something along the lines of Burns for Dellandrea + 1st…probably not but that would be the type of trade I’d like to see if we moved him. Or Burns to replace Buff in Winnipeg for Ehlers.
I love Burns. But this is an example of exactly what SJ needs, also exactly what I think Dallas needs. I doubt Dallas bites on this because Hintz has been good, and Gambrell and Sorenson have not.
Doug's good at what he does and really study's the craft of building a team and perfecting his overall strategy. I respect it.
I like Petereka and Chromniak too. But maybe better at 35If we trade up Zary is the guy I target. I really don’t see how he could be anything less than a 2C. He really reminds me of Toews. Good at everything. Does every little thing right and no glaring weaknesses. Also has shown elite playmaking potential which is something we lack.
Holloway, Mercer, Jarvis and Mysak if we move up to 10-15 (in Mysak/Jarvis’ case 15-20 probably)
Perreault, Greig and Bourque we might be able to get with our first without trading up as well. Of those Perreault is my favorite I see 30 goal potential if he hits. Also would stay away from Reichel, seems to me his hands are lacking significantly.
I am going to die on this hill
Seems like some people online are convinced hes not a first rounder, but I wouldnt be upset if we land him anywhere

Doug already thinking about moving up and down in the draft

Nem,
I recall the last player you died with was Milos Roman, who looks to not have signed with Calgary. I’m certain Sourdif is the much better player.
