I'll place my early bet on Heiskanen being the pick.

 

[masinaLFC]

NO! to Heiskanen at 3... thx

I'll place my early bet on Heiskanen being the pick.

Jim Nill and co are on #TeamDraftForNeed

 

[usefulfiction]

Im on team package for a top pair d!

 

[Magic Mittens]

Wouldn't mind finding a replacement for Spezza with our pick

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

Avatar has been changed as to honor future Dallas Star, Miro Heiskanen.

This would be the best of all options

 

[Satan]

That doesn't exist in this draft

 

[Morry83]

Not that he's bad (he's my top defenseman), but I'll be livid if we pass on Mittelstadt or Vilardi for Heiskanen.

 

[WhoahNow]

That doesn't exist in this draft

There's plenty of players in the draft who play RW

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

My BPA is Glass, but I'm betting on the D man.

 

[Magic Mittens]

That doesn't exist in this draft

Thought it was more second line C's?

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

We already have Seguin to play RW, the ghost of Lindy Ruff lives on.

 

[BeaverSports]

I'd take Tippett.

 

[Satan]

Thought it was more second line C's?

Spezza puts up ~60pts per season

Those are #1C numbers

 

[masinaLFC]

would you trade it for Hanifin?

 

[Hull Fan]

See if #3 gets you in a conversation for Hanafin. If not take the best center. Another small Euro defender who's several seasons away is really not what this franchise needs.

 

[Hull Fan]

would you trade it for Hanifin?

I'll add to swap picks with Carolina to get Hanafin.

 

[Smelling Salt]

Amazing. Pumped for the draft. Move down in a trade or use the pick it doesn't matter I'm actually excited about the draft for once.

 

[Ghost of Kyiv]

lmfao

Trade for MAF, sending Niemi back

Assuming Vegas takes Grubauer:

To Vegas:
#3

To Dallas:
#6
Grubauer

Draft Vilardi
Buyout Kari.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Spezza puts up ~60pts per season

Those are #1C numbers

Well I didn't mean an exact player like Spezza, meant a future 2nd line C. Let's say we drafted Glass, Mittle or Vilardi... wouldn't they be closet player we have to a 2LC?

At least with Glass he'd be better defensively then Spezza, just not as good offensively

I don't follow the draft like alot of guys here, but I thought Glass is comparable to Bergeron? Not as good defensively, but just as good offensively. I just read that and I'm not saying he is, but I'd be happy with that pick if that was the case

 

[Magic Mittens]

Trade for MAF, sending Niemi back

Assuming Vegas takes Grubauer:

To Vegas:
#3

To Dallas:
#6
Grubauer

Draft Vilardi
Buyout Kari.

Why not just keep Kari for another year, Buyout Niemi and then find away to grab Grubs. No need to take on 2 more years of MAF

 

[SuperSaiyanSTARS]

Heskainen my bet too
