GDT: Draft Lottery

[drgregg]

Getting Reinhart and ROR would save this team next year and beyond. Just make it happen. Price be damned.

Seriously, I say go for both, everyone not named OEL on the table.

Getting Reinhart and ROR would save this team next year and beyond. Just make it happen. Price be damned.

A big trade would at least generate some publicity. Make the franchise look dynamic, even if it's still going to be a village bicycle for another year.

Or the owners could just torch the whole thing and spin 15-16 as a Fresh Start. That would be fun to watch. The torching, anyway.

Maloney is not even remotely ambitious enough to pull something like this off.

Reinhart I'm fully on board for. I don't want a contractual nightmare like ROR though, and I bet Maloney doesn't either.

 

[NuxFan09]

I know this is probably no consolation to you guys, but you you have a whole legion of NHL fans behind you. What a cruel joke for Arizona to come out of this outside the top 2. Personally, I hope the Coyotes either trade up or trade down to draft Strome or Marner.

 

[Etch]

Everyone send DM an email thanking him for signing Dave Moss, who was instrumental in our fight to not get to draft a generational prospect

What's the address?

Mark my words, we WILL be last place next year. We will also pick 4th because Edmonton. **** those ****ing ****s I'm so ****ing mad right now.

I've never truly known what it felt like to ACTUALLY have no hope until tonight. We are beyond screwed and there is NOTHING we can do.

This is why (aside from naturally using optimism) I have some optimism. They have said we will be middle of the pack in spending, and that means we have to start effing spending.

The cupboard is bare for trading unless someone is suggesting we trade the future??? Can't see how that leads to a happy ending.

OEL is the only thing strapped to the floor. Everything else can go in the name of getting two top 6 centers.

 

[Etch]

I can't believe this happened to us. When he turned over the Leafs card and there was still no winner, I actually felt confident. No way the Edmonton Oilers, of all teams would win AGAIN. They literally changed how the lottery works because they kept getting 1's.

Then that God Damned golden Oilers card. I'm still shocked.

The market for a perennial Hart contender like David Moss should be positively booming.

 

[Jamieh]

Off the present Coyote's roster who would suggest you could actually package to get any 2 decent NHL centers?

Fair enough, but we have to reach the floor next year, and I would be happier giving ROR what he wanted than paying that equivalent money to any combination of the players on this year's roster not named OEL

 

[Plub]

Maloney doesn't have the genital fortitude to trade a top 3 pick. Should he? Absolutely. Move the pick and whatever else and get this team a prime or young number one center. We need to be a good team right now, not in 3 years.

He should move the pick, but he won't. We are categorically ****ed.

 

[jacobhockey13]

I would say **** it, let's tank so hard next year that it's embarrassing, and get #1 or #2 overall, but then I realize we can't do that because of the very clowns who just ruined us.

 

[YandlesMother]

 

[Sinurgy]

<insert stupid ****ing low effort Dave Moss joke here>

Now where were we...oh yeah...the hockey gods proving they're either cruel beyond our wildest dreams or they don't exist whatsoever.

Hail satan!

**** I'm mad.

Hanzal, Boedker, Gormley, Stone, Moore. Trade return for Tippett, Doan, all the futures the Coyotes have (6 picks in the first 3 rounds), including 3rd overall.

3rd OA+ for Reinhart

Hawks pick+ for ROR

If you leave the kids out of it, there's probably no proposal that's fair that would make me uneasy or say no. I literally do not give a **** about the current roster beyond OEL and maybe Murphy. I would make offers those teams couldn't refuse if I was GM, because getting not one but two strong, young top 6 centers in an offseason is exactly what this team needs to do.

 

[Faschinating]

Sorry guys. Genuinely feel bad. Going into tonight, I really just wanted to see Buffalo and Arizona hold onto 1 and 2 - no matter the order

 

[RiotAct]

What is this, I don't even

 

[jacobhockey13]

I've been toying with that idea too. I had never been interested before to bother learning how next year's lottery worked. Is there any benefit whatsoever to being 30th?

If you want to be fourth overall there is.

 

[Muppet]

The franchise can't afford to tank again. I'm sure IA and Barroway have their hands hovering over the outclause button as it is. They have to make some god damn money, and McEichel would have gone a long way towards that. Instead, DM is going to have to grow some balls and trade the pick. If he doesn't, RIP.

 

[CC96]

See: Yandle/Duclair

He traded a 29 year old guy, who probably wasn't willing to start contract negotiations, for futures, literally at the trade deadline, when we were the 29th. place team in the league. Epitome of ambition

 

[Shepard]

I was already fond of this idea before the lottery, but now more than ever I really want to trade our first round pick plus whatever we need to add (within reason) to get Reinhart.

What would we have to add? Chicago's first? Too much? Too little?
