Speculation: What should the Sens do with the 22nd overall pick?

[crazyroyal12]

With all the hype being around our 4th overall selection, I’m interested to see what everyone thinks Dorian should do with the 22nd overall pick. My personal opinion would be if we were able to trade it for 2 second rounders, I would pull the trigger. We don’t have a second round pick this year and it seems like the players in the 18-45 range are pretty similar so if we could scoop up two prospects instead of one I think it would be a good decision for the franchise going forward. Here are the trades involving just draft picks in the last 2 drafts from the 1st and 2nd round:

PHI:
#22
#36
For
WPG
#18
#79

CHI:
#29
#70
For
DAL
#26

PHI:
#35
For
ARZ:
#44
#75
#108

STL:
#26
For
WSH:
#28
#87

It is hard to judge because none of these trades have a team trading a first rounder for two second rounders but here are two possible trades I would make if I were Dorion:

OTT:
#22
For
NYI:
#41
#43

Or if the Wings really want a player available at 22,

OTT:
#22
For
DET:
#33
#36

Let me know what you guys would do if you were in Dorian’s shoes. If we do stick with pick #22 who would you pick? My pick would be K’Andre Miller on Defense or one of Dominik Bokk, Jonatan Berggren, Ty Dellandrea, Serron Noel and Martin Kaut for forwards.

Whatever they think is the best course of action:

1. Use to trade up for a guy they love.
2. Use to select a guy they have their eyes on
3. Trade back for multiple picks if they like a couple of guys (like X. Bernard/Henman, etc) that could be had with extra picks in the 3rd/4th.

I wouldn't use it in a package for a roster player right now with the direction the team seems to be going.

 

[Fandlauer]

It depends if Zadina is available. If he is, I'd take him and explore moving the 22nd and other pieces in order to get a first next year.

If he's gone, then I give Colorado the 4th this year, and just use the 22nd as our first. Or maybe depending on where Hoffman goes, see if we can do a package deal and move up.

There's lots of moving parts with this. Thankfully we have a huge front office that should be able to take care of it.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Draft another solid prospect.

 

[BigRig4]

Move it for a roster player

 

[JungleBeat]

Draft Kravstov,Denisensko,Olofsson,Bergerren or Kaut. One of them will be available when we pick.

 

[Neiler]

I'd take Noel or Miller.

 

[Que]

Package it with Ryan/Gaborik/Hoffman on draft day for a top four defenceman.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Move it for a roster player

I wonder who we get could for 22.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Surprise me.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Surprise me.

What do you want on your hot dog Spock?

Gaborik and 22 is not getting us a top four defenceman.

Hoffman and 22 is interesting though.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I wonder who we get could for 22.

Are there any gritty character guys in their 30s we could swap it for?

Troy Brouwer?

 

[Langdon Alger]

I’m guessing we don’t trade 22 outright, I really don’t know what the value of a pick like that is. You could get a decent player I guess, but I think I’d rather keep it or move back to get a late first plus a second, or two seconds.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Troy Brouwer?

Oh spicey. A bad contract to boot. This could work.

 

[Karl Prime]

I'm in favour of keeping it.

 

[OgieO]

I like the options that should be available. Miller looks really interesting. Oloffsson, Lundestrom, a few others.

 

[BigRig4]

I wonder who we get could for 22.

Last year I believe Minnesota offered Scandella to the Habs for their mid-20's pick fwiw. I know we won't get a superstar, but someone who could come in and contribute right away so we dont end up giving colorado a lottery pick wouldn't be nice.

I’d be open to to it if we had a second or third. Only one pick until round 4 isn’t great. Unless we can add some more picks before or on draft day.

Yeah, scouts definitely wouldn't be thrilled about only 1 pick in the first 4 rounds rounds. Hopefully we can recoup some beforehand.

 

[dumbdick]

I'd deal it for a dman

 

[DrEasy]

We could trade all our picks for roster players, and this way we could fire all our scouts and save more money!

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

We could trade all our picks for roster players, and this way we could fire all our scouts and save more money!

And we could give up some more picks in 2019 and beyond to get other teams to pay part of our player's salaries to save even more money!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Anyone of: Kaut/Berggren/Noel/Dellandrea/Olofsson/Sandin would be fine with me.

Would also be fine if we were to trade back to the end of the 1st and pick up a 2nd round pick to replace the one we idiotically sold to the Rangers.
