Kuzma's a tit

Why not? he's ranked 6th in some part of the world

We have some big guys too. Jensen, Kasian, Gaunce, Mathias. If the Canucks added Virt that could be a good start Sedin Sedin Jensen Shink Horvat Virtanen Kassian Gaunce Burr Rich Mathias Fox

Buffalo have many young D men. They need a centre

Burke traded a 3rd round pick and Mcabe I believe ... maybe a 2nd as well but no 1st rounders

Yeah I've heard several times that the top of this draft doesn't have a single bonified 1st line forward. There's several good second liners but that's about it. I can't see Reinhart being worth Shink + #6 + roster player, especially when he doesn't project as a #1 NHL centre. Classic case of a too much focus on one player that people start to become fixated to the point they can't see what else is around them.Its a social phenomenon sort like a self fulfilling prophecy

If Reinhart are such great prospects, why is Tallon looking to move back as far as pick #8?? probably because he knows there is more value if you don't have the first pick this. Tallon knows how to evaluate talent. He drafted Kane and Toews and many other current Blackhawks.

I actually believe RNH will end up being a better player than Reinhart. Once he fills out he can be a top centre in the NHL.

Jaysus... This team finally starts to stock up on prospects and now are ready to trade them before they play even a single game. Two very promising young prospects ( Shink and #6oa ) for one very promising young prospect. Why does this franchise continue go backwards year after year after year after year. Stop trading the young talent away and put in the time and effort into developing these kids. This team just doesn't get it. No matter who we bring in to run the organization, there just isn't any continuity from top to bottom. Get on the same effin page TL and JB... for Pete's sake

It would be a good trade for the Canucks though, don't you agree?

I did write CAN"T MISS HOF prospect so as to not confuse the difference of a player who may reach full potential and a can't miss HOF prospect. I thought it was pretty clear from the way I posted it, I guess I was wrong

If there was a Lemieux, Lefleur or a Crosby in this draft, then trading Horvat + #6 would be a good gamble. However there is no real potential can't miss HOF player so staying put is just as good an option

The flaw with a chart like that is the generational players who go #1 skew the entire production distribution. The Lemieux's, Crosby's and Lefleur's of the draft cause the #'s to reflect top heavy production. If they took all the drafts that had no generational players or consensus #1 player it might not reveal the same results

Tanev and the #6 pick isn't worth nothing though. I can't see the logic in trading Tanev, he's Vans best young d-man by a fair margin. If we had the 12-15th pick and wanted to move up then I could see making a trade involving Tanev. The thing is, the #6 pick offers an opportunity to get a very good young player. Trading two good young players for one good young player is not smart business

If Tallon was offered Horvat and #6 oa, He would jump all over that. Kuzma has no clue what he's talking about. If Bennet, Dal Colle or Draisatl fall in the draft...which a lot of pundits believe could very easily happen, then he would be turning down possibly; Horvat, Draisatl Horvat, Dal Colle Horvat, Bennet ... any one of those combo's is better than just Reinhart and both Murray and Tallon know it
