Yes it wouldn’t be fun to watch another team take one of these guys and develop them to good to very good players. I am still up for trading it but I’m more towards just trading the pick for a valuable player and adding nothing as that pick should have a lot of value on its own. I’d trade that pick + for Point no question. It’s a gamble, but no one would be shocked to see Patrick be a good 2C or Provy and Sanheim be great top pair. You have the money and a few good options so maybe the best bet is to keep the pick and then try and sign EK or Duchene and let the rest work itself out.Zegras, Krebs, Boldy... These guys are top 4-8 players in other drafts. If you can somehow land one of those players or even Caufield. That's what we need imo. Frost, Allison and Ratcliffe were hoping (crossing our fingers)will be top 6 forwards but only Farabee is a lock to be an impact top 6 player imo. To have the chance at drafting a player that high caliber that will be cost controlled for at least 2-3 years. I just can't see anyone giving that up no matter how enticing.
If we trade for someone we also will be exposing one more talented player in the expansion draft. The more I think about it I'd only have this pick part of a deal for a Point caliber player. If not go hard for Karrlson or hope a team close to the cap has to give up a high value asset that won't cost you the 1st pick. Its also too bad we couldn't have snookered someone for another 1st (Simmonds trade). Some good players also available in late 1st and 2nd rd.
Rough news here.
Maybe not if that same "definitely not a stalker" was photoshopping your young adult son into a pink bunny costume at every opportunity.As you know, his parents and I are friends. I don't believe for one second that they mind us calling him Bunny. Imagine you have a superfan who is a man, a fan so super that you would be forgiven for thinking he is a stalker, even though he definitely is not a stalker. Now imagine that strangely devoted man is calling your son "Buns." That, surely, would be more alarming than "Bunny."

You don’t get to pick your own nickname
Which is exactly why Rubtsov's nickname should be Rubber. Rubber's teammates are letting us down big time with this Ruby bull****.
I mean, Rubber Cooter Buns has just got to be a line at some point, right?
To me the biggest sin of nicknames that haven’t taken off is YeZe for Yegor Zamula.Usually nicknames on sports teams are just facile shortenings of how surnames sound. Rubber is too much of a stretch by this approach, though I like the idea!
The biggest sin is that Konecny's nickname hasn't taken off--"The Neck".
