He was the 10th pick

See not even time travel could make this deal reasonable

If Nashville offers us the 11th overall for Henrique, would you do it?

I think I'd do it pretty easily.

That is so ridiculous... Not even a guarantee that 11th overall turns into a good NHL player. There is no way in hell I'd do that trade.

Hell, if 2008 had a re-draft, Henrique could go in the top-10.

Maybe if I had more time I'd go though it for the giggles but right now I'd definitely put Stamkos, Doughty, Pietrangelo, Karlsson and Eberle above Henrique, among the first-rounders at least. It's close though...Nyquist in round 4 is another definite above Henrique.

Jesus I've heard of maybe two of these third-rounders other than Henrique though, what a pile of suck. When we kill Conte for the misses he should get credit for that. Unless you're gonna armchair GM him and everyone else for missing Nyquist through four rounds.

Just keep away from euros a couple of years now in the draft. At least in the first few rounds.

absolutely not.

not that its not fair value, but it'd make no sense for us.

I think he's just implying that we have trouble finding the gems

Still doesn't mean they should stay away from them. Drafting someone lower on whatever their list is just because of their nationality is not the way to go, and I also doubt they would even consider doing that lol.

no not even, we have a good 2 C/lw in Henrique. He has shown a knack for scoring the last few seasons. No need to trade for uncertainty

Yes there is. But we havnt had any luck with the euros lately and havnt developed them right either. So go for north americans. Seems we have maybe better scouts here?

Maybe what im trying to say here is, dont draft smallish euros.

What is the upside there? 11th overall is not like 3rd overall.
