peaches5 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I think if we get a top 3 pick in this years draft we should trade it, or at least try to, to Anaheim for Lindholm. I would like to see our first for Lindholm + Anaheim's 1st but I highly doubt Anaheim would do that. This years draft is a crap shoot there is no real number 1 overall pick. We could then try to trade Edler and get back a first or good prospect(s). I think we would be much better off trading our first if we can get a Dman like Lindholm.

Fanuck Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Get Liljegren. He's supposed to be the next Doughty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus why not just draft liljegren?? Why do u think benning made it his duty to nab forwards like Goldobin and dahlen at the deadline. Benning 100% was scouting liljegren and maybe dahlen. In a couple years our defensive pipeline will bolster both Juolevi Stecher Tryamkin liljegren tanev Gudbranson Plus lindholm + 1st isn't happening for just a 1st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said this draft is a crap shoot the rankings are all over the place. Lindholm would be better than any of those players now and in a few years. He is going to be a legit number 1 dman and poaching him right before he breaks out when Anaheim has to trade someone would bode well for us. Plus Edler should be able to land us a first so picking up Lindholm and then another good prospect or first round pick still has us "rebuilding". Also I specifically said I highly doubt Anaheim would add a first. I'd just like to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but just like u think this drafts a crapshoot so might their GM and if u think he'll trade lindholm and a first for our 3rd pick ur crazy. We'd most certainly have to add. And btw isn't anaheims first all ready in negotiations when they got patrik eaves? So that might already be a no go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's drawn comparisons to Erik Karlsson, which I think is an apt comparison. We nab Liljegren in the draft then trade Tanev + Virtanen for Sam Reinhart and the rebuild is done like dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think Karlsson is an apt comparison to him? I'd like to see these highlights that show it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doughty is 10x better than Karlsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm happy with keeping a top 3 pick any lower than 5th I'd say we trade down into JB's sweet spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
