I'm fairly alone it seems on Tkachuk. It is very reminiscent of the discussion surrounding Rasmussen last year but I'm confident in my assessment.

I feel like you were far more alone on Rasmussen. :laugh: You were the only one really talking about him seriously.

Each year we have pockets of people who are really into certain players, Chychrun and Carlo were certainly the ones I felt alone on, mostly with Carlo. I don't remember who, but there was someone else big on Chychrun too.

I was harsh on Chychrun. I had insider intel from the GM of the team picking after AZ who couldn't say enough bad things about his hockey sense at the time. I was not shocked based on that conversation that Chychrun would fall. I dropped him from 8 to 13 on my list right after (after originally debating about putting him all the way down to 18 - he went at 16).

Tim Murray didn’t like Chychrun, huh? Well only one of the two still has an nhl job. :)

I was perfectly fine taking Chychrun with the Keller pick.

My list is mostly about who has highest upside in a way. I personally also don't mind Tkachuk. His floor is probably higher than a lot of the other top 10 (especially at forward) and he's gonna be valuable I'd venture to guess.

I liked him a lot from the videos I found, but almost all of them were from his draft -1 season.

Go back to Chayka’s comments on Chychrun and how important his play in his draft -1 year was in their decision to overlook some of what they saw in his draft year in their decision to select him. Hate to steal Jamie Eisner’s non linear progression line but this is why your scouts matter.

Ha yea, that would change my feelings too. I only dedicate a few hours a week to this, these guys have entire teams of people to inform them. If one of them spoke adimately about how well they felt a player would progress, I'd listen.

I just had Chychrun really high. I believe before the WJC he was second to Matthews.

If Zadina is there at 5 we take him, if not, ill go Whalstrom.
Completely agree. One caveat, looking very likely Wahlstrom will be available at 8OA and doing something around 5 for 8/27/Hossa makes sense.

I’ll be completely shocked if Wahlstrom isn’t there at 8th. The only team that’s a threat to take him before then is us.
What's the additional value beside 5 for 8/Hossa? Is it 27? More? 27+Toronto 3rd? A player?

When you factor in insurance, what we'd actually have to pay Hossa ($200,000) boils down to less than 4% of his cap hit ($5.275M). Gotta imagine someone with Barroway's background would love to do a deal like that.

Pretty sure there’s an insurance cap either in terms of dollars or instances. With having Bolland already insured, we might just go ahead and pay Hossa out of pocket. In case we need it for its actually intended purpose at some point.
