  1. If JB is able to move Tanev today, that's great! I just see it happening, if at all, on the draft floor.
  2. It's not really an argument; it's an opinion. We need to rebuild. JB and TL both stated on many occasions that's best done through the draft. The higher the picks, the more likely that player will become an impact guy. Trading Tanev now for a top 10 pick would help (IMHAO) our rebuild create a more competitive team when complete.
  3. I'd love that scenario too:) Maybe Makar goes early, and we get Glass at 5 and Hiskanen at 8? Either way, we get a center and a D for the future, while Tanev won't even be here for that future.
  4. Okay dude. Like the waves are crashing the shore, and the noise is so loud. It's a cool scene, man. The lower we finish, the better our odds to draft high. The higher we draft the better the chances said player becomes an important piece. How could you possibly argue with that? We have the UFA market to fill in veteran D from, if needed. Guddy and Edler are very established veterans and both can take heavy minutes. We have the Twins, Errikson, Sutter, Bo, and Dorsett up front. That's a team chalk full of vets:) Heck, some might even argue we have too many older guys!
  5. Of course they don't, but aren't we supposed to be rebuilding? Trading away Tanev, and losing Sbisa in the ED certainly makes us worse, and almost assuredly guarantees us another top 5 pick in 2018.
  6. That's what rebuilding teams do, right? They trade some of their better veteran guys to competitive teams, for futures (picks/prospects). We did it for the first time at the 2017 TDL. Now, will JB continue with this path of rebuild, and get us draft picks in the coming drafts? Alf is worked up this morning with worry we are going to go back to JB's retool philosophy:(
  7. If JB does his job and trades Tanev + for number 3 and Niemi, we should come out of the draft with Vilardi/Glass AND Makar/Hiskanen
  8. Considering the Province uses guys like Botchford's input, and Button was a long time scout, GM, and hockey guy, I'm going with THE PROVINCE.
  9. If we were rebuilding, then yes we could afford to lose those guys. (Not Tryamkin though; I miss him already:(
  10. So, if Tanev is going to be traded for that coveted Dallas 3rd. overall, it will happen Thursday June 22nd or Friday at the draft? I guess, if it happens, it's on the draft floor.
  11. It seems like all the top 7 or 8 guys are kind of pretty even.
  12. What if it goes? How fast would JB run up to the podium? What if Patrick was there, and he didn't take him?? Would CDC go off-line permanently?? Hischier Glass Vilardi Makar PATRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Starting to look like we get (at five) either Makar or Glass. I wonder who JB picks if both are still on the board?
  14. And with Mackenzie's saying yesterday that he heard some have Makar ranked number one, I'm thinking we're in for some serious fun on draft day!
  15. Would love to see us come out of the draft with Makar and Glass. If we got # 3 from Dallas, which of those two should we take at 3? I'm thinking Makar?
  16. Yup. I agree. Big mistake by Anaheim to go with poor goalies. Now their window for winning is likely slammed shut.
  17. Maybe instead of Miller we need to sign Jonathan Bernier?
  18. Who do we "truly" want then: Patrick or Hischier?
  19. The draft is mostly for the fans of the crappy teams - us. It's to give us hope for a better tomorrow. Hence the Makar is the next Karlsson statements.
  20. JB needs to do his friggin' job and get that Dallas #3 pick! We need that pick!
  21. He's better when pretending to be an old man: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lKuyD4L29Fk
  22. Heard on 1040 that Liljegren is back home training like a demon. He's totally pissed hearing he's dropping in the draft rankings. Sounds like a hyper compete level guy.
  23. Heard on 1040 this morning that Vilardi is a "man child" who gets it done. He's got a super high compete too. He was compared (I forgot by whom) to a tougher Draisatl.
