Hell yea boy. Kept the 1st rounder as well

 

[Beauner]

Keeping the 1st is good. I also wanted Rackell so... nice.

Yoooooo.

Adding Rakell without ditching a roster player (i think) is amazing.

 

[Andy99]

I don’t think he moves the needle as far as helping our scoring woes, but he’s a solid player and will hopefully,push EROd or Heinen out of the top six

 

[deakka]

Seems expensive, and I dont even know which prospect yet...

 

[Turin]

No first? Cool. Hextall all business

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

WOW. I like the move and have a feeling it won't be a terrible trade on our part which I can't say was the norm for wingers at the end of JR's tenure

 

[ColePens]

I'm completely down with going this route!!!

 

[Trade]

What prospect we thinking is gone?

 

[Zirakzigil]

Slightly worried about what prospect

 

[dogthateats]

Hopefully not Tankov

Rakell at 2LW is significantly better than Heinen at 2LW. He's not Boeser or Garland...but he's something!

 

[Jobeycool]

Is he going to get us past the first round ? lets hope so..

I don't think we have a prospect I'd prefer to keep over our 1st this year. Maybe POJ. I'll take keeping the first and giving up a 2nd over giving up the 1st and a lesser prospect. I'd take the chance that whoever we draft this year is better than anything else we have.

I mean.....who is there to be worried about?

 

[Andy99]

Probably not with what everyone else has been doing…

POJ is the only guy I'd be a little bent out of shape about losing tbh. None of the other guys - Poulin, Legare, etc - really move the needle for me.

Jeff Marek said “players” as well. Kapanen? Pettersson? Hmmm…

 

[Turin]

Great move.

 

[vodeni]

where would you play him? his defense seems to be subpar, that won't go well in our top 6 especially with Geno, maybe if you keep Rust there?
If Zucker can play with Sid...Jake-Sid-Zucker...Rakell-Geno-Rust, would that be TOP 6?
