Speculation: Yzerman's first move.

[Steve Yzerlland]

I can see that also. I could see us and anaheim making a deal

6 plus San Jose 2nd for 9 and 20

Love this.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

For Gator and Glendening you still saying no? Leafs won't take that return obviously but to say No to Nylander without even knowing what the price will be is also very foolish.....

The price for Nylander 100% excludes all players on deals over 4 million AND all young players who are expected to command healthy raises in the next 12 months.

If the leafs trade Nylander it's for picks or high end prospects(zadina type)

Only reason to move him is for cap space and to continue building for down the road

Why does Anaheim do this?

Why does Anaheim do this?

My guess would be if they really liked a certain player

Probably the exact reason why any team trades up on the draft floor, no?

They need to get better defensively and team is cup contender

Sure, a team COULD fall in love with a guy. But considering so many fans are saying "there's not that big of a difference between 3 and 12, we should trade down", it's unlikely that any teams are that aggressive in trading up. I sure haven't seen any fanbases excited about trading up.

Yeah, that's basically it. Every fanbase and team ever wants to trade down and get more assets and their guy. Is there anyone that you'd be motivated to trade up for if you were picking at 12? That's the question to ask when you're considering a move down. Have to have a partner to tango.

I think they would use cap space to explore free agency, Myers, Gardiner or EK while still adding picks and prospects.

Their window is just starting to open. They will be good for years

Glendening + Helm then

 

[PullHard]

Something innocuous like signing an undrafted CHL player who has little to no fan fare

 

[DetroitRed]

Shovel snow this weekend for the first time since he left for Tampa Bay.

 

[SirloinUB]

Yzerman's first move will be drafting 6th overall. I know, Im really going out on a limb here

 

[TCNorthstars]

Lol, like he shovels his own snow...

They just gave him a big contract .. no way they will give up on him so easily and especially not for 3rd-4th liners like Gator or Glendening.

great teams lost in the first round , going to be some angry GMs , who makes some stupid moves .

Have you ever seen a fanbase demanding their GM trade up in the 1st rd before and then that manager do just that?

If not, then not sure what the fanbase on here thinks warrants any consideration...

 

[lilidk]

to bad Arizona not in the first 5 pics

 

[lilidk]

look at some solid prospect that Tampa get :
Palat : 2011 208 overall , got in 2010-2011 season 96 points in 61 games in Q
Point : 2014 79 overall , got in whl in 2013-2014 season 92 points in 72 games
They didn't draft them from nowhere, but they have solid predraft seasons

 

[dj4aces]

His first move will be drafting a player at sixth overall. I don't expect to see anything happen before that time.

 

[SirloinUB]

Lol, like he shovels his own snow...

Remember when Sakic had to retire due to an unfortunate snow-blower incident?

 

[TCNorthstars]

Yes and Steve has surely learned from that and hires it done!

 

[Oddbob]

Smaller trade with TB, for a lesser known TB "prospect" that Steve Yzerman is higher on.

 

[RabidBadger]

He will bring back the old goal horn from The Joe to help restore the franchises mojo.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

1. He'll Clone BUD LYNCH....then invent Yzerberg & Fedortsyuk, Konstantinstrom clones\

2. drive to Walmart to pick up Milk & a few groceries

 

[DetroitRed]

Set all of Ken Holland's shit into the hallway and slap a number 19 and "C" on the office door.
