For me it comes down to the fact that the team, after Larkin only has an aging Nielsen that should be playing top 9 center. They desperately need centers.
I mean the centers in this draft aren’t stepping in for a while anyway. It doesn’t matter.
Yeah, you would expect Veleno to be ready sooner than anyone not named Kakko/Hughes.I mean the centers in this draft aren’t stepping in for a while anyway. It doesn’t matter.
Turcotte is not going to fall to us.
I am hoping Turcotte falls, because I think, like Larkin, he could be in the NHL in his D+2.
I think the HFBoards Turcotte hype train has gone a little far. I mean, I still want to draft him, but people are making it sound like he's going to go at #3 or #4. He's still mostly ranked 5-10.Maybe not, but find me a ranking where he’s top 5....

Y'all sleeping on my boy Kirby. He's gonna be Blake Wheeler 2.0 (without the extended development period), book it

Doesn't make sense to move up two spots like that. Byram isn't touted as the next Ray Bourque is he?We pick turcotte imo, think he makes it to six. Byram is gone and the Russian I doubt we drafte if he falls he will be drafted by someone else.
What would it cost us to move up to four to pick byram?
Our second would do it? Or add a third?
Did you just not read "without the extended development period" orYou mean takes 10 years to live up the hype?

This is what happens when you finally decide to tank with 2 games to go.

He plays absolutely nothing like Wheeler, so nah. Cozens is high-energy low-IQ imo. I don't really want him. But he could be a Larkin type.You misspelled Dylan Cozens
A better way to phrase this is that they'll be better than everyone other than Larkin and maybe Zadina.They are going to be better than Glendening, Ehn, Ras, and a lot of the other meh talent on this team?
