Canes will have a surplus of good D if they win. Trade partner.

No matter what, Buffalo will add a great talent.
Svech or Zadina with Eichel will be deadly, and then theres Dahlin...

Looks like Dahlin is going to go to Buffalo. Montreal will probably pick up Zadina at #2 since their last few Russian picks haven't exactly panned out. Buffalo and Carolina I think are the major winners of today. Montreal wins because they get a superior forward than they would at 6/7 but at the same time they're not getting a #1C anytime soon.

Owner and GM change, D as a greater position of strength. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Since JVR is walking maybe TVR will be traded to the Leafs for depth Dman to continue with having a VR in the Leafs

Has are poised to have a big draft if Bergevin can knock a few of those top 60 picks out of the park .. His first rounder will be an easy one to make.
They still have a lot of roster issues to sort out though, so perhaps MB will be misguided by this year's draft and continue to make poor decisions

If the habs get the Russian winger they are going to ruin him. Going to mess his game around like they did with galchenyuk.

Like JVR nothing against the VRs, but I’d be hunting further up the depth chart there.

True. Let’s let him live his dream of playing in the NHL and making millions but never winning. Give him a year or two in the playoffs and that’s enough.

Character and grit has been his mantra, and gosh we have seen what that leads to.

Remember quite a number of folks and analysts sceptical about Vegas’ success in the business side of things.
Boy were they ever wrong .....

I think he will make trade for young roster players with his draft picks. Rebuild is not really an option if you have Weber and Price on your team. They will go hard to get Carlson and JT, or any other UFAs that can play. Won't be surprise if Bozak and JVR both signed with them in the summer.

came here to say this. if by chance they get dahlin they will have a nice piece up for sale unless they trade down which would be foolish when you can get assets for a established young blue liner

They had a completely unique and different approach and the owner and Mayor knew what they were doing when the got that franchise.

From my mind, it was never a doubt about how successful they'd be in their first year but years after. I'm sure they'll do fine with all this success out of the gate but if they floundered for a couple years to start out it could have been very different.
