Cale Makar Heiskanen or Makar go in the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memories of Slegr Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Now that we know Vegas is going to end up with several 1st round picks, it might be a good idea to see if we can trade down with them. 5OA for two 1st round picks (10-25). They already have the 6th pick, so 5OA would give them 2 top prospects, just like we have been clamouring for. As much as we all want that, maybe it's a smarter move to try and trade down, and trust Benning's scouting to snag two players instead of one; and we get to keep Tanev for this season, and possibly do a trade at the TDL for picks in next years draft. Then maybe we can trade up for Dahlin if need be. My 2 cents Edited June 21, 2017 by Memories of Slegr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust the guys who spend all year scouting these players to make the right choice on who to draft. Not the keyboard jockeys who only know these players by YouTube highlight clips. Pettersson is a HELL of a damn good hockey player and we would be lucky to draft the kid. Mrs. Benning is that you? I like Petterson don't get me wrong, his numbers are good. I just see Vilardi and Glass becoming better players. When I watched them they passed the eye test with me. What do I know though, I'm just an arm chair GM. I really hope JB makes the right choice. He better, his contract is up soon... Edited June 21, 2017 by messier's_elbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Petersoon looks like a bigger project then Glass and Vilardi. He night turn out to be better but could be a bust. He is very slight.

stawns Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 4 hours ago, HKSR said: Completely untrue. Offense is played at one end of the ice. Defence is played at the other end. Be creative and generate offense in the attacking zone. Know who to cover when you backcheck and defend against the other team cycling in the defensive zone. You don't play defense in the offensive zone... you play offense. We'll agree to disagree, they are in direct relationship to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want highlight reel goals, lots of them. I want a shootout sniper. I want speed breaking out of our zone rushing up the ice, creating excitement. I would like to see Mittlesteadt put up 90+ points in the WHL in his draft year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing top 5 does is give you betters odds at a 'hit'. There are lots of great prospects throughout the first round. Rather than blow all our assets trading up in this draft, save it for next year's when there are more elite prospects available. I'm with you. We need top 5 talent. But that top 5 talent looks a lot better next year, and this year's first round has a lot of evenly rated prospects. Double up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Glass is someone who I don't know a lot about, but after watching that feature on his family I would be happy if we got him at 5th. The point steady point production (at home and on the road) is a very positive sign, but that character is invaluable. We would be a team full of leaders: Horvat Boeser Glass Juolevi Hutton Demko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the 5th not a lower pick and we need a strong C; take a D in a later round or next year or by gaining another 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
