[The Greatest 101]

There’s a guy named Rossi in the 2020 draft. We must get him. He’s ranked around 10~15. How can we move up?

Ha. Saw that. Would actually be a very good pick if he falls to us.


As for moving up. That would be simple if we trade all of Schultz, AG, and Bjugstad before the deadline. While getting a few players to help for this season we should easily be able to land a 1st and prospects as well if JR chooses that route(which he should).

With a name like that, no way he doesn't fall.

Rossi is the Smith of Italy.

Dobson not going to WJC. Looks like Canadian blueline is locked in.

I thought I saw a different tweet where Byram/Addison were the second pairing, but I can't seem to find that now.

He won't be available by then. I think he's getting picked in the top 3 honestly. He's that good. (We're talking about Marco Rossi here, right?)

Excited to see how Addison performs against the best of his peers.

If he can distinguish himself, our RHDs going forward have some nice balance. Especially if Reilly keeps developing like we hope.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Anyone have any details on Poulin’s injury? Has missed last 7 games now.

Feels like this organization caught the plague.

Hopefully Hallander can get back once the new year rolls around.

He’s like 5’9”. He doesn’t look like a Top 10 pick for me in such a forward heavy draft.

Poulin+our 1st for Rossi? Poulin seems a long shot.

It’s upper body. Knowing the history of their prospects, I’m guessing it’s his shoulder. The DK article says they didn’t think it would be more than a week so maybe they assumed a concussion wouldn’t be that bad?

I forgot about Hallander. Pavlychev is back from his injury that I believe was dubbed day to day. It was weeks.

Eh I don't really care about size as long as the skills are there. I thought DeBrincat would get picked in the top 10 just based on skills alone, but obviously he wasn't. I've watched a lot of Rossi this year and I'm way more impressed with then I was with DeBrincat. He's just so good. If he was 6'2 people would be debating whether he should go first over Lafreniere.

And yeah I'd easily trade Poulin + 1st for Rossi.

Idk Poulin was having a solid year before injury. If Poulin comes back strong he looks like he could break in the league in the next two years. That is more important than getting a guy farther off to me. I wouldn't make that trade and add another first to boot.

A few teams picking top 10 in the 2019 draft will be kicking themselves for passing on Caufield based on this reasoning.

I dont know anything about Rossi, but Poulin seems like anything but a long shot.

Ya Poulin was raw in camp but didnt look too far out of place in the NHL. I think this team needs more players now than guys two years away.

Poulin might be 2 or more years away but his season has been strong enough that JR should be pretty damn attached to him for now.

I wouldn’t be deterred by a smaller prospect in 2020 but I’d be leery of trading Poulin.

Not much news on Poulin. Was only expected to be out a week with an upper body injury, however he missed the two weeks leading up to the break. I am guessing they are just being cautious with him, given they clinched first in their division about a week into the season.

Ya I mean if a small skilled guy falls to the pens I wouldn't deter but Poulin stock has gone up I think. I would not trade him right now unless it is for a young winger who can immediately help now and the near future.

Hopefully he gets some PP time and isn't just buried as the 7th defenseman.

[cookthebooks]

i thought he was just really depressed

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I gotta say...I really hope JR doesn't move Legare or Poulin or even POJ. Our prospect pool is a depressing look compared to the rest of the league, please don't sacrifice whatever dwindling future we have with these kids.

Unless he has another Marino type fleecing locked and loaded.

As i said earlier at the end of November, on any given night, he can be their best defender.
Velluci confirmed it in the article.
Theres more in the article too so go have a read.
Great work by Seth on this one.

That's too much for Rossi. We should be able to get Cole Perfetti or Anton Lundell whos dominating Liga .

Lundell doesn’t excel at any one thing. He’s average all around which isn’t a bad thing, but if we got our hands on a top 10 pick, there’s much, much, much better options. 2/3C potential.
