Sorry what’s false? That I hate them? That the Big Apple draws players to it? Different markets, different team structure, different contracts. did the rangers trade the king? Similar to us not trading the sedins. winning a top two pick was pure luck. Nothing else. fox chose to sign with them. trouba trade was because they know he’ll resign there, and they didn’t give up much for what they got And they attract UFAs

why do you feel you have to defend your opinion to that extent? this whole board is just people sharing their opinions. people disagree which is what creates more discussion. Like my opinion is Podkolzin and Caufield are not the only forwards who are going to be players. Both guys have lots of risk attached to them and most likely won’t be available at our pick. we are probably going to be getting one of: Zegras/Krebs/Newhook/Boldy which in my opinion is great, but for you, you may wish to brace yourself for disappointment!

Exactly haha
-
Fagemo $1 - Phillips $1 - Cajkovic $1 Johnson $2 - Bergeron $1 Rowe $1 total team cost: $7 pocket the $13 and run
-
If we got him st 40 I’d be ecstatic but he may even go late first round
-
I think we understand each other. if they trade Gaudette for a d prospect or dmen we will be sure to be getting someone back our team is very very high on for it to make sense regardless.
-
I question how much he really watches tho. cause he weighs international play heavily into his rankings every year. and I just can’t get over his take on Newhook sayings he’s a good but not great skater this year. Makes me question his cred as a scout.
-
Hughes has said he can play both sides. He said he just plays differently on each side. that looks great too. Ghost would be a great addition but ya we will see for hutton I don’t think he deserves that kind of money which stinks
-
I clearly stated originally I would consider trading Gaudette for a dman further along in his development. Especially if we can’t move Sutter. Noah Dobson for sure that would be a hockey trade I would be more onboard with if we were to trade Gaudette. Dobson is looking like he is going to push for a spot on the isles blue line this summer. How many Canucks draft picks have you seen win a hobey baker and develop like Gaudette? We don’t really have any comparables. You aren’t very very high on him I get it. The discussion was around trading him for a late first rounder. Don’t forget that.
-
If we could get in there and snag ghost and run Edler-Hughes Ghost-Tanev Hutton-Stecher id be all over that for next season
-
Interesting player, not sure the city could handle that last name tho
-
He’s the hockey gauddd
-
It’s tough - sometimes doing it on your own is better sometimes playing with high end players is better. There’s examples of both failing and succeeding so hard to judge what is better you know. I get what you are saying though
-
Krebs style would compliment both Petey or Horvat for sure
-
Don’t think yak will influence Edmonton’s decision. New sheriff in town, players aren’t comparable asides from Russian heritage. if he’s the bpa on their board and available he’ll be drafted. i hope he gets taken before our pick though. Podkolzin + Broberg are two guys I hope get taken before our selection.
-
Farabee at 14 wasn’t a reach. he was a top 15 prospect for sure and some were even higher on him. hes a very good winger prospect. PPG in college first year is great too. wahkstrom had an issue with his college staff or teams mates or something tried to leave the season early but couldn’t and he didn’t have the best year, but finishing in the AHL he looked good. 3 pts in 5 regular season games and 4 pts in 5 playoff games. Kids a goal scorer Both are still high end prospects so I’m not sure exactly what you mean about them.

Thanks for sharing your logic. A little rude the first line about the rose coloured glasses. Gaudette has accomplished a lot to this point to look at his potential optimistically. To cap that because of his draft position is really silly. you want to trade him because he was a 5th rounder and you think his potential is a 15/20 goal 3C. And that is worth the risk of trading for a 17/18 year old draft pick —> defensive prospect. See after players are drsfted their positional draft pedigree means less and less. Gaudette is at the stage now where it means nothing. He is found money. If he is a 20 goal scorer who impacts games in a positive way on a nightly basis and has upside of more with the ability to slot into the top 6 when we have injuries, or a staple on the second PP unit this is a valuable player to have. now if there is a trade for a young dman further ahead in his development than an unproven draft pick I would consider trading Gaudette. Like you said especially with madden looking good and still having sutter and beagle in the roster. but no I would not trade Gaudette at this draft for late round pick And spin the wheel on a prospect maybe providing more value 2-5 years from now than Gaudette will for sure immediately. I am not assuming Gaudette is going to progress leaps and bounds, he has steadily developed his entire career progressing at a linear pace year after year. Right now it is safe to assume he will continue improving and we have not seen his best yet for sure. He hasnt done anything to make me think otherwise. And he showed some flashes in the NHL, forget what game it was but he tie dragged a dman and roofed it. Like he was in college. The kid is adjusting to the timing of the league (the speed), and he needs to be stronger to confidently play his style. Since your a gambling man it sounds like. Pre draft pick a prospective trade partner that has a late pick. Pick a prospective d prospect available and let’s see how there careers go? Maybe you’ll be right but in my opinion it’s a pretty big gamble with more exposure to downside than to upside.

I’m pretty sure they want one of Turcotte zegras broberg if they aren’t there at 10 probably try to trade down a little and leave with 1 of Krebs or Newhook
-
Yea Krebs is so good. I’d be happy with him at 10 even though it’s a tough look tondraft a guy in a moon boot at a home draft.
-
Realllly was this just announced? Edit: Just googled it thats great for Winnipeg and for the team. Hope they add some players and Krebs rehab goes well so he can have a big year. Playing out of the university sounds fun too in the short term. Sure the city will support them very well
-
I’m high on him. think he’s the kinda guy teams will kick themselves for passing on later
-
I see that’s fair thanks for sharing. i do have Zegras well I’m front of Newhook and Krebs I have close. allyear Krebs was one of my favorites but I am concerned about his injury and playing in kootney again. Hard to develop in that environment.
