Gifted isn’t accurate. It’s not like they jumped up a ton of spots to get any of those firsts. They’re a bad team who have languished at the bottom of the standings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep throwing 18 year olds into that gong show nothing will change Move the 1st OA to Seattle with Skinner's contract. Take a few depth players back to clean up the mess, and a few 2nd rounder's theyll get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Edmonton, New Jersey, and Buffalo have had 8 of the last 12 first overall picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if any other franchise had Dahlin, Power, and Eichel you would say that they’re set up for the next decade. Not the case here. the Sabres incompetence got them 2 potential franchise defencemen.. sigghhhhhh Hopefully Dahlin asks for a trade in the future as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they get the second best pick but I don’t see a franchise player there. Of course Beniers could end up being the next Toews, or Clarke another Karlsson but those two definitely aren’t the clear cut franchise players that typically exist at 2nd overall. I like our odds at 9 of getting an equal or even better player. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Number 9, VAN will still get a real good player, and I'm sure Benning is doing his homework (as best he can with COVID). I think there will be some interesting picks in the Top 10 and it wouldn't surprise me to see McTavish and Wallstedt go early. Could other players go earlier than expected, giving the Canucks a great player? VAN could still end up with Eklund, Guenther, Johnson or Sillinger. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Naslund Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I for one don't mind not winning thr lottery. Top picks generally tend to have massive second contracts and can take up a major portion of a team's cap space. At around our number, you can still find quality players and generally have more of a deep, balanced and more cap friendly team. I feel you can stay competitive longer due to thr fact that these players tend to need more time to marinate and take a bit longer to reach their peak, hence are cheaper for the earlier portions of their career. Our captain was picked 9th as well! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
