They also traded a second for Josh Manson and 2 second rounders for Devon Toews The Lightning traded a good prospect in Josepg and a 4th for Nick Paul. They also traded two first round picks for Hagel, not tomention Drouin for Sergachev You use your high picks to draft your core guys, no question, then you can use other picks to pick up proven players, rather than hoping for lottery tickets to hit. Not when they were Rebuilding! They kept their picks in fact Newhook and Byram were key pieces to winning last years cup. They did it the right way. AFTER they’ve accumulated talent they made their trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so for us and the teams sake. Guess that's where Myers money is going. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in the right spots, he hustles, works his tail off. He's just small and kinda weak. But that's fair, you're right. I just read it like you were saying he's trash. Generally the worse you are defensively. The less dzone starts you get. He starts in the dzone more often than the ozone. He's not shutdown by any means. But he's solid. Sadly he might be our best d-man defensively with Schenner gone. Hronek is definitely not trash. I guess we will find out if this trade works or not. Obviously I want him to do really well here, especially with what we gave up. Regardless of what I think of the trade rn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Just now, Steven Stamkos said: So why are we trading picks when we don’t even have our core set up? All of these teams were at a point where the can sacrifice draft capital because the team was built to go deep into the playoffs. Keep your picks for when you actually have a team built then go for it. I'd say a core of Petey, Hughes, Demko, Podz is pretty nice wouldn't you? Not to mention a top pick in this draft and probably Lekkerimaki as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.Demko Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Hey look, we had a good run. A proper rebuild was never going to happen under FA's regime. Guy has absolutely no patience. At least they didn't use the first to dump salary like I thought they would, I will give em that. Great job management! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Stamkos Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 3 minutes ago, TheQuietQuitter said: Not everyone has the luxury of multiple top 3 picks within such a short time span. It's easy to say "build through the draft", but outliers like LA and Boston can happen. Col - MacKinnon, Landeskog TB - Stamkos, Hedman Chi - Kane, Toews Pits - Crosby, Malkin Pettersson and Hughes were both top 10 picks and we have another coming up, no? Oh and another top 10 pick traded for OEL and Garland. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term, immediate gratification, and ZERO long term vision. not you the Canucks. And a 1st rounder in this draft in particular is not like trading away Lekkerimaki, the talent in this draft is on another level. Why couldn’t we have traded Lekkerimaki to the Wings?

Viper007 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Don't know if anybody has said this yet, as there's 68 pages to go through. Why do this trade now is my question. I would rather not pay TDL prices for a RHD. This couldn't be done before the draft? I'm sure the price would've been lower than comparing deadline prices.

Now I will reiterate, what happens if the Islanders keep their pick this year and next season that is third overall? Bro, if grandma had balls she would be grandpa. And what if they get their shit together this season and manage to go deep in the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nothincanucksohno Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 So I guess the plan is to have maximum cap flexibilty after next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be needing an procedure, or a wonky shoulder which would be worse. Great, get a guy made of glass now. It seems GM's are scared of making draft picks unless they have a bushel basket of them or in a country that only see's the number and not the player.

I’m not sure if you’ve been following Lekkerimami this year or not but that’s a tough take right now too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
