Speculation: Whats the worst thing that could happen today and at free agency for you/your team?

[Spire2000]

We draft a dead guy

There's precedent for it in Ottawa (CFL) so why not?

 

[WingsMJN2965]

1. Draft a defender.
2. Sign anybody on July 1st. Anybody at all.

 

[JKG33]

The Lucic trade version 2 (MaxPac). I've got the same bad feeling I did on draft day a couple years ago.

Other than that I dont really have any realistic fears for LA. Trading a non-Vilardi package for Kessel would be nice, heck I'd be ok with moving the 1st+ for any decent scoring winger

 

[Killswitch7187]

Trading Phil Kessel. 100%

 

[TNT87]

Not getting a good return back IF the Penguins trade Kessel. I much rather see him stay then leave.

 

[Yatzhee]

My team holds the 1st overall pick. Short of trading it, I see nothing that can go wrong today. It's a glorious day.

 

[Walter t]

For the Rangers I would not want to trade up from 9 when there will be a good player there regardless. And signing any expensive free agent this early in the rebuild.

 

[LAKings88]

Drafting an ECHL stay at home defenseman a couple of spots ahead of Erik Karlsson.....er wait a minute.

 

[Setec Astronomy]

I don't know about today, but the worst thing that can happen for any team in free agency is signing Jack Johnson.

 

[WSS11]

Tavares re-signing with the NYI which is highly probable at this point

 

[DJJones]

Trade Hamilton, Brodie, or Bennett for picks and overpay a UFA winger.

 

[kilowatt]

Trade Vilardi, Clague, Anderson-Dolan, or the 20th pick for an aging winger.

 

[connormcmuffin]

Trade Gardiner to appease mob panic

 

[Saekk]

Trading with Montreal.

Nate Thompson for 3rd overall doesn't sound that bad, Montreal needs a center.

 

[FunkyChicken]

Chiarelli goes full Chia.
Never go full Chia.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

LA lands Pacioretty
i'll commit hfboards suicide

 

[CycloneSweep]

One of Bouchard, Dobson, Hughes or Wahlstrom falls to 10 and Chis picks Smith or Hayton.

 

[Hockey Rush]

Lucic.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

someone please find Rob Blake's email quickly, i have to warn him like in those movies where future self sends an email to past self to avoid a catastrophe

 

[780il]

One of Bouchard, Dobson, Hughes or Wahlstrom falls to 10 and Chis picks Smith or Hayton.

Either this or someone gives him his phone back.

 

[McShogun99]

Trading a 1st and 2nd for a defensive prospect that was drafted high a few years ago and has seen his value drop since that time.

 

[Skin Tape Session]

we resign JVR/Bozak/Komorov. Trade Nylander

 

[The Burdened]

Draft Noel at 14

 

[JThorne]

Buffalo: Trading ROR, and then not signing actual NHL forward depth.

My team holds the 1st overall pick. Short of trading it, I see nothing that can go wrong today. It's a glorious day.

You guys sure have a funny way of saying, "Draft someone other than Dahlin."

 

[Cygnusx1018]

Tavares leaves
