Idk about you, but I don't know that I'd want to draft Matthews if we got the 1st overall pick. Of course Matthews is elite, but drafting him means you'd have to move one of Sid or Geno. If we somehow managed to get the 1st overall pick, I'd rather trade down (to like 3 or 4) and get a stupid overpayment for the pick.

Can Matthews play LW? I'm running under the idea that he's only a center.

I'd look into trade offers, but the Penguins need young talent. Matthews is elite. And I think he can play wing.

It's Auston Matthew fwiw

I mean, I'd trade that pick for like the 3rd overall pick and try to grab Chychrun along with whatever else that team would add. If push came to shove, I probably wouldn't have the guts to trade that pick though.

I just read Matthews is also a LW, disregard that. I'd draft him and put him with Sid and Horny.

Matthews can't save this team.

 

[IcedCapp]

imagine how many 30 year olds JR can get for that pick

 

[Cherpak]

I would hope if they get a high pick it would be for a elite defenseman with skating and size.

Boy would that be sweet. Maybe like, a 6'4" guy that's mobile and can also play physically, make a good first pass and chip in offensively.

Good teams don't trade those types of players away!

 

[IcedCapp]

some guy who threw over 250 hits and had 34 points over his last season?

Man! Does such a player even exist?

Maybe the Ducks have someone like that. We could trade the pick for one of their defensemen! And Pouliot, cause hes a rookie and this team needs veterans for playoff runs. Pouliot and 1st overall should be good for that Despres guy right?

I forgot the

But it seems like you guys got the point anyways.

Other than Chychrun, theres really no D that really stands out in this upcoming draft.

He would the ideal pick if we're picking in the 5-10 range, if he drops that low even.
If not go, C/LW.

My sarcasm meter is apparently busted. I was referring to the fact that we already had such a player not all that long ago. I think he now plays for the water fowls though.

No, i knew what you were doing. My post is to stand on its own.
No reference to your post.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Can we keep the name being spelled wrong in the title?

If it's not Matthews, take a D or LW, or a centre that can be converted to wing. Chychrun could be the key to a quick fix for the defense.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Matthews is C/RW.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Although there are some pretty sweet RW's available high like Puuljarvi and Laine.
MacLeod, who's a C, reminds me alot of Eichel.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Matthews? Probably get the Spronged too!!!

 

[The Greatest 101]

Chychrun is meh this season.Also Don't like take defenseman too high.
