KirkSave Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 At this rate, if we keep losing or even manage just 1 more win, we will finish 4th worst, just one spot back of NJ. After the lotto balls drop, if NJ still picks before us, I imagine they draft Luke to reunite him with his older brother Jack as a Devil and if not, perhaps we select him if he's the BPA. Nobody knows what the future holds but as it stands now, Luke Hughes has a chance to play with one of his brothers in the NHL-pretty cool stuff. *If we win the lotto and pick 1st, I doubt we select LH. I think he will be very excited to see the draft selection order! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Junkyard Dog Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 If we win 1st we should draft Power. Potential is too damn high. Luke has some issues in his own zone but if he can get over that he’s gonna have the potential to be a great D. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runtzguy Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I hate drafting players based on emotional/irrational factors like most people in this forum. EX: Virtanen is from Vancouver therefore he will be the next Cam Neely/Milan Lucic. But I have seen Luke play and he is pretty impressive so I wouldn't mind drafting him.

This team can certainly use some Power, if he's gone before we pick and if Hughes is available then we should pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 We need to pick whoever is best when we get to them, and this is one area I trust Benning. Not sure Hughes would even want to play together. Imagine seeing your sibling and working with them every day? I'd hate that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24K PureCool Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I mean if we lose out and does not win the lottery where we are picking like 4th or 5th before NJ, Luke may be the bpa, in that case sure. We could really use Clarke though to play with Hughes, a nice big RHD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_BOI_pete Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 if we don't end up winning the lotto that's ok. I heard from a very reliable source that Vancouver is Eklund's preferred team to play for. E4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edvinsson or Power is the stronger choice but I don't know if we're going to pick high enough to get either. If we're around #6-#9, it'll come down to Hughes/Clarke/Lambos and I really think Clarke is the strongest choice. We have to give Rathbone/Juolevi a chance to perform and play a top four role before we go and get another LHD. However, if we can get Edvinsson or Power than we do it. So it really depends. This rebuild could've been over by now if we hadn't mortgaged the future so much for a few playoff runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Power reminds me a lot of Ekblad. Really good at almost everything albeit not super elite at anything with not many inconsistencies. If his game matures well he'll be stud. Seen comparisons to Hedman/Burns Edited May 14, 2021 by Junkyard Dog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
