Well done jim Yes it looks good for who was left and if he can trade Schmidt for 2nd and walk out with 2 of those prospects I might just pat jim on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like Benning was eyeing Johnson and Sillinger rumour as smokescreen but found Columbus were going to take both so was more open to trading the pick to Arizona.

Eddie Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Yeah i'm pretty happy with the trade - as previously mentioned i wasn't high on Guenther. I think McTavish, Johnson or one of the D could have huuuge upside. Don't see it with him. So allll good with OEL and Garland ! Winners for me today : Columbus - what a draft ! If those players hit their ceiling they will have rebuilt the core of their team in one draft + adding Boqvist. Mini - Bold moves - Trading up for Walstetd ( EDM Whyyyyy ?!) and getting Lambos at 26 - really bold job of reshaping that franchise this year. Winnipeg - Lucius gonna fit in like a glove with their other skill players at 18 Boston - Lysell a great pickup for them that far down. Arizona - Add a key empty net specialist and 3 time faceoff winner via trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though there might be a couple of gems scattered throughout, this draft doesn't strike me as the deepest. For example looking at the U18s this year, some of the most impressive players in that tournament were 2022 and even 2023 draft eligible players. Talking about the Canadians, US, Russian and even the Belorussian kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Craig Button put his stamp of approval on the deal and thinks OEL will THRIVE here in Van. Says he has at least 4 very good years left. LETS GOOOOOOO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you're getting a Hedman-lite... but still to give up two first rounders and Boqvist was crazy. I'm really pulling for Columbus to turn this around, they have awesome fans and have to deal with players who constantly ask for trades out of there. I originally thought they'd gotten two 1sts - but wasn't one of them a swap of 1sts in this draft? I thought that Columbus team was going to be something - but they really shouldn't have gone with such a divisive guy behind their bench imo.

Very predictable they are and most frustrating thing is they pick ahead of Van and pick the players Van are eyeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn't mention the other picks thrown in. Maybe they're trying to tank next two years with their coach? If I was a Columbus fan, I would want to just get a bunch of reclamation projects, move out players that you respect and not make them suffer, and then tank your way to the bottom 3 picks for two years in a row. Hate to say it as I'm not a proponent of tanking, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
