Hypothetical: Penguins 1st rounder?

[Leafidelity]

Curious to see what people think about the Pens pick (assuming they make the playoffs this year).

I picked "make the pick" but I will qualify that by saying what is the cost of trading up ? what do we get for trading down ? had anyone interesting slipped ?

Basically it's impossible to answer the question with a meaningful answer.

I am open to all of them .

I know some are staunchly opposed to trading any picks, but with 3 second round picks next year, we probably have the assets to move up a fair amount. Maybe this is the year they target someone in the bottom half of the top 10.

With 12 picks already, I'm curious to see if anyone else thinks the situation has changed since last year when it was all about accumulating.

 

[Bullseye]

Make the pick please.

We have a ton of picks already this year. 2017 could be leaner with 3rd picks going to Detroit and N.J. respectively.

 

[cupcrazyman]

make the pic & draft some forwards with size.

Yeah, it's impossible to know until draft day. Trading up and down is usually a result of how the draft unfolds.

I would like to keep that pick but trade the 3 2nds in 2017 + holland to get another top 10 in this draft cause next yrs draft is not very good If leafs get picks 1 7 17 31 this yr we wont have to worry about next yr take matthews at #1 sergachev at 7 jones or brown at 17 and stanley or mete at 31

 

[crump]

Happy to just make the pick, but would balk at moving down or up. With so many picks we could use them to move up and still have plenty to give to Hunter. If there is a decent deal make it, but not out of desperation.

 

[AuraSphere]

Would like to move up to draft Joulevi/Nylander

Trade up Quality >> Quantity

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

I would try and trade up from the Penguins pick for a Sergachev/Nylander/McLeod. That being said, I don't think there's a big difference between those guys and Fabbro/Jost/Keller, so the price to move up from Pittsburgh's pick has to be reasonable.

people need to get this type of thing out of there heads were not trading up from 15-20 where the pens pick will be to a top 10 pick imo. were not going to be able to move up there by simply moving a 2nd round pick it would take significant assets to do so, which I doubt we would do.

Trade up Quality >> Quantity

trading a 2nd for example at times gets you maybe 4-5 spots is the Quality much better to warrant trading up? I'm not so sure.

I don't see why we would trade down, no need to be adding more picks, so it's either stand pat(most likely scenario) or move up.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Trade up and get the guy they want, whoever that is.

 

[Dough72]

curious how far Bozak or jvr could move that pick up for a GM desperate to keep his job and make the playoffs next season

 

[DD03]

Don't really think lots of teams are willing to move down in that area, unless you're coughing up a lot. We've got the picks, but we also need the prospects. Would hope for 1 of the big three, then a good defenseman with this pick like Bean.

 

[TimeZone]

I'd be furious if we traded down again.

Try to trade up, if not, make the pick.

that"s too much & you should be fired.

Agreed. We did it last year because the Leafs wanted Hunter and Dubas to have more picks. We have plenty of picks this year. Time to move up.

Exactly what I was going to post.

Trade up and grab Sergachev and make me a very happy guy

 

[8816 others]

I'm all for moving up but it seems like a crapshoot when selecting 9th and beyond.

 

[Swervin81]

Just stand pat and draft a good d-man.

 

[GLG12xx12]

Would Pitts (15-20) 1st + bozak + 2nd get us a pick in the 8-10 range?

 

[Porn*]

I'd love to move up, but aren't against making the pick either.

 

[Mess]

There is a group drop after about #12 so you would want to move up.

I'd love to land a top 3 (ideally 1), trade up and gran nylander, and somehow grab carter.
