Darth Kane Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'll start this off by saying it was not my idea, one my Blackhawks brethren from another site suggested it. Nonetheless, it's not a bad proposal. But I would be interested on getting a Canucks perspectiveTo Vancouver - Florida's #1 overall pick in 2014To Florida - Patrick SharpTo Chicago - Ryan KeslerThoughts?

Piggy Bank Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sharp = 1st Overall? 1st Overall = Stamkos Freak!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks155 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Awful deal for Florida. Tallon isn't that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kane Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Awful deal for Florida. Tallon isn't that stupid.I was thinking Florida would get the short end of the stick. Between Chicago and Vancouver they're ghave to give up something extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesler isn't even close to being worth the top pick and neither is Sharp. Both of them are struggling right now whereas Ekblad/Reinhart have their whole future ahead of them and can be a top 2 dman or top line center respectively. Meanwhile, Sharp and Kesler are 2nd liners... The Panthers don't even get a stick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 @Darth Kane actually I can see Reinhart reaching that elite level. Maybe he won't score 60g like Stamkos but his Pts/G numbers are phenominal, and so is his defensive play Alternatively, Ekblad looks like a Weber or Pronger 2.0 which is worthy of a 1st overall. This draft just isn't getting the credit it deserves because of the drop-off after the top 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy Bank Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 "1st Overall = Stamkos" - Not in this draft. Stamkos wasnt who he is as a player when he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 All the basic fundamentals are there? Clever proposal. Do think Florida needs more. One addition: Vancouver adds Corrado to Florida, Chicago adds a 3rd to Florida and Rundblad to Vancouver. Alternate: Chicago just add's Leddy to Florida. (They get Kesler and run with Rundblad as secondary PMD.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Kane Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Stamkos wasnt who he is as a player when he was drafted.Obviously not, but he was a more highly touted prospect than anyone in this draft. The 2008 draft class was pretty solid, some of the first rounders were Stamkos, Doughty, Bogosian, Pietrangelo, Hodgson, Myers, Karlsson (OTT), and Eberle. Many of these guys were anticipated to be big producers and the NHL levelm the same can't be said for the 2014 draft class. Time will tell if that is correct or not, but the early returns don't support anything different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
