If we look at cyclical drafting...we're due in Canuck land for a wasted pick.  Even if some thin that was already done on virtanen.

This level of pessimism is hurting my stomach m8.

 

lol lets hope for the best!

Craig Button on Tkachuk, good for a laugh:

 

"Who does he remind you of? How 'bout New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. He can run over you, and he can also catch the pass. Oh yeah, and give him some open space and he'll run to the endzone. Who will be his Tom Brady?"

 

 

 

 

Just a ridiculous take on Tkachuk

Love the Domi proposals. I think with Edler or whatever defenseman involved in the trade for Domi, it would make sense as the Coyotes are getting a polished veteran defender in return. 

 

Honestly, the only thing Domi doesn't have is size. Otherwise the dude is the complete package.

It would take a bit more than just Edler, and he would need to wave the NTC, but ya, all over it.

Getting Domi without losing the #5 would be incredible.

Can I dream a bit?

Pedan + 5th overall for Domi + 53rd

Edler + Hansen + Brisebois to MTL for Markov + 9th overall + 45th overall

Sbisa (retain 25%) + Grenier + 64th  to Bos for 29th  

 

End up with Domi and the 9th, 29th 45th, and 53rd

 

Without UFA's we'd still have

Danny-Hank-Sutter

Domi-Horvat-Rodin

Baer-Granlund-Virtanen

Etem Gaunce Dorsett

 

Hamhuis Tanev

Hutton Guddy

Markov Tryamkin

 

But we'd have enough space to go after an Okposo, Brouwer or an Erkisson.

Love it.

Who do you take at #9? (It take Sergachev, Juolevi, Chychrun in that order of avail)

How about #45 and 53?

Looking at the Coyotes roster and contracts, it seems that they have tons of cap space and a lot of expiring contracts.

I've always thought we could dangle Sbisa around. So what I would propose would be... 

 

5th, 64th, Sbisa, Edler, Grenier

 

Domi, 7th, 20th

It is still way too early to even think of considering JR a wasted pick I mean he is only 19.  Going back to that draft I would still take him at 6 over anyone else that was available. I am willing to be patient and watch him develop into the player he should be.

 

I do agree we will a mix of pure skill and 2 way players.

 

I will say though I am not thinking too highly of the possibility of drafting Logan Brown. ..

I like Jake, but looking back at the 2014 and our team needs now (this is not fair to Jake or Jim Benning btw) I don't draft Virtanen at 6.

 

If we keep the pick at #5 and pick Dubois or Tkachuk our first line soon is:

Dubois/Tkachuk-Nylander-Boeser.

This line is dymanic with tonnes of skill, big wingers, one who is a two way/sniper (Boeser), one who is a a grubby predatory power forward with skill in Dubois, and an elite level skill distributor in Nyander who can score himself (as much as I don't like his face!)

 

L1 Dubois-Nylander-Boeser (Nylander/Dubois might even swap if Dubois actually translates to a #1C, doubt it personally)

L2 Baert-Horvat-?

is superior to

L1 Dubois-?-Boeser

L2 Baert-Horvat-Virtanen

 

That is my take on it. I also take Fleury over Virtanen.

I think Nylander QB's our PP from the point, which we really need.

No Logan Brown, totally agree with you. I honestly have massive doubts about all the c's in this draft.

 

I was never one for drafting Nylander in 2014, I was wrong, doesn't mean I'm not a fan of Jake though.

A couple things:

 

- Why all this talk about the Yotes wanting Tkachuk? Everything I've heard/read says they want a defenceman and they'll likely get first crack at the big three D with the 7th pick. 

 

- We'll also start to hear Buffalo being very interested in Vancouver's pick as they are also rumoured to be wanting a D. In my opinion, a Sabres/Canucks swap is more likely than a Coyotes/Canucks swap. 

 

- Benning is on record as wanting a young top-6 forward and a 2nd rd pick for the 5th overall pick. I wonder what his definition of "young top-6" is? Is it a guy that is a top-6 guy right now? Or is it a player that might develop into a top-6 in a year or two?

 

- And last but not least, if the Canucks and Sabres do hook up on a deal, my guess is Benning will be very interested in getting Girgensons in the trade. I wonder if Benning considers him a "young top-6"? Maybe Girgensons and No. 8 for No. 5 and a 2017 2nd rd pick?

If Buffalo want's our #5, it better have something to do with Reinhart.

#5, Guance, Sbisa, 2017 2nd

for

Reinhart

 

Buffalo gets a dman at 8 already, if they are wanting a specific D, they would want Calgary's pick.

If they want our #5, it's because they want a winger to grow up with eichel...that's Tkachuk/Dubois.

 

If the Yotes want D, we draft Tkachuk (if avail)

Edler, #5 

Domi, 20th, 53rd

 

They get a needed Dman and their hometown boy.

We get a #1 LW and picks

@ForsbergTheGreat you think benson is available at 53?

 

and @chickenman92 doesn't that deal sound a bit lopsided in our favour? Unless Girgenson's stock has taken a hit. I can only imagine the b*tching and moaning from CDC (and particularly desi) about "another two way grinder" lol. I've always been a fan of Girgenson myself though.

You never know. Injuries play an important part of players falling. I've seen mocks were he's been in the 3rd round.

 

at 53 theres a number of teams that have only one pick before that. Taking it on a player that got injured is somewhat risky. I could see a team that has multiple picks taking him before though.

At the deadline there was a rumour they were souring on Girgensons a little and were open to exploring trade options. 

 

Personally, I wouldn't even consider Girgensons and a 2nd for No. 5, but I think he could be use to trade up three places if Vancouver sent something back Buffalo's way. I'd say Gaunce or a 2nd would balance it out.

yeah very possible I guess, it's just hard to imagine considering he was a consensus first rounder (even top 20) in the preseason. He's got huge steal potential if he can shake his injury bug.

Do you think Girgensons is worth more that a 2nd rndr, and the loss of #5-#8? Seems fair to me, maybe an over payment...i'm not sure where he slots in with us.

That's a tough question. I'd say he's worth a 28-35 type pick. So I'd value him as a real late 1st or real early 2nd. 

In all honesty, I think tossing in Vancouver's 3rd evens things out, but I wouldn't want to give up another pick in this year's draft, which is why I'd be willing to give up a 2nd next year in exchange for Buffalo waiting a year.
