PhillipBlunt Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 F u Bettman. Keeping the 1st overall in state for the last decade it seems. New Jersey, New York and Buffalo all getting high picks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Will Benning try to pry Parayko out of St Louis? If so, what would have to accompany the 9th overall to make it worth Armstrong’s time? Maybe tell him that BC will name a city after him? And a cheese? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-23 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’m all in for Kent Johnson. Although I think JB might go for a off the board pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say yes, unless there is a trade in the works. Because it doesnt help the current makeup of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will look at trades but they want a young player. Makes sense. You need to acquire someone in the same age group as the core. Otherwise just pick a guy at 9 who will join the core in a year. Also he says there are 9 guys we really like. Very telling. I think Power, Berniers Clarke Hughes Guenther McTavish Johnson Edvinsson Eklund are the 9. They will see what deals are available and then on draft day either take one of the 9 they like (depending on how far up the list is available) or try to swing a trade for a young impact player and lower draft pick. It's why draft day deals happen. Teams need to see who is available at 9 both on the buyer and sellers end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty sweet: Hughes - Parayko to STL - #9 and Schmidt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mispelled McTavish wrong, many fans might be fine with this. But I trust Benning in finding a gem at 9th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) So, the Oilers, Devils, Sabres all abuse the lotto system over the last 12 years and now the rules are changing since 2010, 3 teams have selected 1st overall 8 out of 12 times and have a combined 4 rounds of playoff hockey between them Edited June 3, 2021 by Warhippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether you can aford them on their second contract or not, that's a valuable asset any way you look at it whether they play or you trade them. This has the potential to be like the 2017 draft imo. Imagine if we had won that draft and drafted Nico or worse Patrick? I know that we and the Rangers had Petey ranked high but I really doubt we had him #1. Patrick is the guy Benning would have taken considering the meat and potatoes style he likes and the pressure of having the teams first-ever #1 pick. If we keep the pick I hope one of the high ceiling but not so safe picks is still around or preferably we parlay the pick into immediate need. We have our #1 in every position and some really great core pieces, time to make a push before we inevitably start losing some of the core we have like what happened to the Jets and what the Avs are about to face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong bloodlines, great size, a very good work ethic, and an elite shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
