2016 NHL Entry Draft [June 24-25th || Buffalo, New York]


Recommended Posts

If the rumors are true of Calgary wanting to trade up, and Montreal wanting to be in a position to draft Dubois, with both Edmonton and CBJ being talked about as moving their respective picks; i could see the following happen:

 

Trade 1: 

CGY

3rd Overall

Clarkson (cap dump)

 

CBJ

6th overall

Smid

Kylington

 

Trade 2:

MON

4th overall

 

EDM

9th Overall

39th Overall

Gallagher
 

Then the draft:

 

1. TOR - Auston Matthews

2. WPG - Patrik Laine

3. CGY - Matthew Tkachuk

4. MON - Pierre-Luc Dubois

5. VAN - Jesse Puljujarvi

 

Unlikely, but both the teams trading up are targeting someone. With Montreal, that's Dubois and I believe the Calgary rumor centers around Tkachuk. That would leave the Canucks in the fortunate position of drafting Puljujarvi. Not a likelihood, but a possibility from the teams wanting to move up.

CGY and even MON would be stupid to pass up on Jesse Puljujarvi. If we somehow get Puljujarvi, I'll run naked around Rogers Arena

Our luck we trade the #5 and Puljujarvi drops to Calgary at #6.

 

I really hope if we trade the #5, it's during our turn, knowing who is actually available.

We'll have the most leverage at that point too. Assuming PLD is still there, we can name our price with MTL.

$&!#ty way of managing a hockey team then.  If he was Peter Dundass from Coquitlam BC does it mean they don't go for him?  Good teams have no Bias.  

Except this kid is ranked # 4 by most scouts, according to Bob Mackenzie.  If he's still there at five, and Arizona trades with us, would MT not be the BPA?  Don't teams, at the top of the draft, go for the BPA?  If the kid was a schmuck I could see your POV, but he's a very good (elite) prospect.

 Gallagher is a key guy on the Habs roster is he not ?.... ,that trade would put quite the dent in this upcoming seasons playoff hopes..IMO.(unless they made a massive splash in UFA)..Especially for a prospect that is not even expected to crack the NHL till 2017-18....Montreal is in no position to trade any key players off of their roster.

If we get Puljujarvi at #5 I'll just slowly shake my head and laugh like I'm insane.

 

This can't really happen, can it?

 

My hopes just can't take thinking about it.

I remember 2 years ago today, we had the same reaction with possibility of Sam Bennet falling down to 6th.  Really aint happening.    Just prepare for Tkachuk or Dubois, that is all, I'm happy with either, we can use a Left winger, they are harder to come by nowadays, and we need one, because we really don't have a left winger in the system (Tkachuk) 

 

Dubois can be a future centreman for us, we also don't have a future top line centreman, I think he can be one for our team like Kopitar / Bergeron syle for us, not to mention he also can play the Left wing.

Its ok. You want to be the voice of reason. I get it. 

We all know it's not likely to happen.

No reason we must approach this exactly like you. We have a right to get our hopes up. 

 

Nashville didn't expect Seth Jones to drop to 4th. He was 1st overall in a lot of the rankings. That was less likely than us getting Jesse P is.

Friday is already going to be a good day for me, so if that somehow happens I'm not sure how anything can top that. Unfortunately the universe just doesn't work that way for us.
