Canuck Surfer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 2 hours ago, The Bookie said: I know it's heresy to suggest anything other than BPA these days but I keep looking at the gaping hole at the 1st line LW spot and thinking we need to fill that sooner than later. It's quietly been our weakest position for well on a decade now but was always masked by the presence of Daniel Sedin. Ouch! https://www.nhlpa.com/news/1-13379/daniel-sedin-wins-the-1011-ted-lindsay-award 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It may be 30 years before we draft another LW as good as Daniel Sedin was... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48MPHSlapShot Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The more I learn about this draft class, the more I'm liking Alex Newhook. Sure, he's playing in a lower tier league, but he's absolutely destroying it, and did very well for himself in the Worlds too. And of course I still like Boldy as well. Perfect guy to compliment Petey and Boes. I was almost sold on Caufield, but his small stature coupled with his lack of speed worries me. Also, assuming he'd eventually play on Bo's right side, I don't know if they're a great fit. Cauliflower seems like the type of guy that needs a real great playmaking center to set him up, and I don't know if Bo is that guy. Krebs might be another nice option to eventually slot in on Petey's left side, but considering his style is pretty comparable to Bo, would that end up being somewhat redundant? Right now I'm liking Boldy and Newhook. Also pretty intrigued by Zegras. Not totally sold on either defender. Broberg had himself one helluva World tournament, but I don't know exactly how much stock to put into these types of tournaments. We've seen guys like Mittelstadt absolutely light up these types of tournaments, only to fizzle once the hit the NHL. By contrast, Pettersson has always been somewhat mediocre in these types of tournaments, and...well.... Still, it most certainly doesn't hurt his stock, but I worry about is supposed "lack of hockey IQ". Soderstrom sounds like a safer bet, but the pick honestly just screams "meh" to me. I'd much rather take one of the forwards this time around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 i kind of like sweden’s henriksson. small but always engaged. could go in the top 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where'd Luongo? Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'd like to see our pick packaged with someone like Hutton and/or Sutter and see if we can move up a few spots to snag Cozens or Dach. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bure_Pavel Posted April 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Broberg was voted the best defenseman at the U18 tourny, I think York could have got it as well. Broberg at 10 wouldnt be a bad pick, definitely has a high ceiling. Could be a 6'4 220 lbs dynamic skating defenseman. D Pairings in future Hughes - Woo Broberg - Stetcher Juolevi - Tryamkin From recent drafts the closest comparison is probably Sergachev.

We're eating Lucic then. There's no way around it. You'd be looking at say, our 2nd or 3rd, Sutter at 50% for lucic straight across and their 8th Minimum. Probably have to throw a prospect in there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take on that contract for 8th OA alone. I'd certainly consider Sutter @ 50%, our 2nd and another piece though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite Sutter being criminally under-rated here and in our media, he would allow EDM to make some much needed line changes. And there isn't a free agent shut down C that even comes close to his ability at just over 2 mil per. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depend on how desperate they are to actually try to make playoffs though. @Warhippy I might even consider our 2020 1st....

Yeah I have seen that comparable a lot but I am trying to think of an older more established comparable That being said.... nobody wants to miss out on the next DeBrincat as he just scored 40+ goals as 21 year old lol Can we ever have enough snipers ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edm could use more cap space How 'bout Kris Russell cap dump 2yrs/ $4m and B. Manning (buried) 1yr/ 1.75m Total 5.175m LD still on ELC not named Juolevi. They would probably pick Brisbois or Sautner 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
