All-encompassing anti-Pittsburgh thread

[57special]

We have PIT's 1st round pick this year. The worse they do, the higher the pick for us.

 

[Bazeek]

Why anti-Pittsburgh? Crosby and Malkin are very good players and worthy people.
Where is Vegas "golden ugly helmets" thread?

Nothing personal. Just business.

 

[grN1g]

Anyone 1 prospect worth gambling the picks farm to move up? As it seems to be trending to multi teen picks.

The Wild own Pittsburgh's 1st and 3rd round picks. The worse they do, the better for us.

Nah, I rather just pick where they fall. Unless there is some sure fire prospect that you need, I don't think trying to trade up will accomplish much. I think 2 teen picks > 1 top 10 pick(6-10).

This is awesome. Your posts can be brilliant, but wish you showed up more. Has anyone seen Bazeek and Kevin Fiala in a room at the same time?

Made me think. Would you have given up Rossi for the #14 and #19 Pick? I think that would have been Holloway and Mercer, or something like that. I think I would rather have Mercer and Holloway

I’d be more open trading both picks for an NHL player than to just move up a few spots.

I think Rossi falls into that "Unless there is some sure fire prospect that you need". However, I pretty much agree that having Mercer and Holloway isn't a bad situation. I think this year's draft is different from last years though.

I'd be very tempted to trade multiple picks for Beniers.

Because the Wild are in possession of Pittsburgh's 2021 1st round selection.

And 3rd rounder

I could see it happen and I think I'd be ecstatic with it.

Anaheim would probably draft him before us?

A lot of teams would probably draft him before us.

I’m hopinng we get some combination of Sillinger, Edvinsson, Lysell, Johnson, Lucius. Would love Beniers and Hughes, but they’ll be gone. Those guys could go in the 10-15 range. Late first round/early 2nd, I like Cuelemans, Samoskevich, Coranato, Cossa, Pinelli, Borgault. I’ve been really impressed with Kirill Kirsanov as well, but I don’t see a ton of offense there.

 

[grN1g]

Would you gamble and throw 2022 1st on top of the 21 1sts for Beniers?

 

[57special]

Bastards won again.

 

[Gurglesons]

Bastards won again.

They should be winning a ton over this month.

For those still watching them though, we traditionally suck ass against bad teams. So I would not be surprised if BUF blasts us.

 

[Victorious Secret]

Not only did they win, but they were outshot 15-1 in the 3rd. That 1 shot being an ENG.

No way

Trade 3 1sts for 1? No way.

Would have to be a guarantee franchise player in return. Beniers is not that.

No, but he is a top 6 center in the Bergeron, O'Reilly, Toews mold.

For the record, I wouldn't include next year's 1st. Just both 2021 1sts.

Only one of those guys MIGHT have had that value in their draft year... possibly none of them.

I edited my post to clarify my position, but I was too late. I agree that including next year's 1st is too far, but unless both picks this year are top 8-10, I would package those two for a "sure thing".

Really depends on where the picks end up, but I could see scenarios that include both 1sts this year.
