Stop hoarding, Joe.

What could those 6th and 7th round picks get in return?

A Mark Stone and Henrik Lundqvist
Edit: Or a Ben Storm and Julien Nantel?..........

Yes

Maybe Klippenstein just told Sakic he hates every prospect in this draft and just to go scorched earth.

2 firsts still and a cup with a strong roster for the next few years at least. Potentially recoup some picks for trading UFA rights to.

I actually like how they use picks to get nhl players to help NOW when they havnt been good at all in drafting. Too many teams hoard picks Imo.

They seem to be great at identifying undervalued players that fit the system. No picks willl catch up to them eventually but for now it's keeping the roster in the top tier.

Imagine not using the 2nds to get Toews or even Bura. Or Lehkonen, or Cogs etc.

HFBoards is absolutely obsessed with potential compared to good, established players.

That 2023 1st will be gone by the deadline too. Joe gives no f***s.

Go get Patrick Kane

The fact that we have any draft picks left means that we're not all-in

 

[Alienblood]

Maybe we'll get another David Jones or Brandon Yip
Hell, it'll be better than what we've done rounds 2-7 from 2010 until now

Sean Behrens may break this mold

It must feel so rewarding to be an amateur scout for the Avs.

Btw as bad as the Avs pick chart looks, I'd take it over Florida's. In the next 3 drafts they have no 1sts, one 2nd, and two 3rds. Also a bunch of late round picks but those are next to worthless. Having no firsts and only one 2nd is gonna make it tough for them to be players at the TDL the next couple of years.

It's also good because you never know when you might have a legendarily bad injury season. If Makar and MacKinnon need season ending surgeries in November and your Goalie is Hunter Miska, you still have your first. Always important to hold onto that until the deadline if at all possible.

My kid will be in college before Joe Sakic picks a player in the second round.
