[GDT] ‘Tis the Dog Days of Summer, Are we Thinging Before Training Camp?

[McBackup]

I wonder what having 2nd round picks is like.

[Outsiders]

SJS likely wants Myers for Future Considerations so they can sell him at the TDL for a 2nd. Canucks management actually wants assets in return for our players so no wonder the trade hasn't gone down. Either that or the Canucks are waiting to see who they can sign July 1, and if they can get the D they like. Once that is sorted out I could see them executing this trade.

God no, we paying a sweetener to move Myers to SJ aren't we. There is no reason why SJ would want or need Myers otherwise.

You just don’t make that trade can’t see how it makes sense

Isn't SJS trying to move LaBanc?  Might just be a player swap. 

 

There's another thread open saying that SJS are discussing Petry.  If that deal goes down - they might no longer have interest in Myers.

Things are happening again, just not with us. 
Maybe the SJS/Myers thing is on hold until Sept 15.

I haven’t watched him a ton, but he seems much like Myers in his decision making.

 

Again, I haven’t watched him a ton, but people say he is physical. He has fewer hits/g than Myers, who I personally don’t consider someone who really lays the body often. Does he have a more physical presence beyond hits? He’s been in a few fights, but not a ton.
 

A bit slow to process and doesn’t move as fluid as I’d like. He also doesn’t have a ton of blocks, and his takeaways are poor. If we can get him for under $1M, it’s probably worth a flyer. Not sure I think there’s a ton there.

That's a lot of information for us to weigh out.

It’s all about whether or not he can scale up I guess…

Well we can stop crying about not taking defence.

I'm still crying about not taking Benson

Ehh. I’m fine with the pick. I worry it was positional rather than BPA but Willander is still a good prospect. Nothing to do now but hope he turns into a Norris winner, the die is cast. 
 

We won’t be able to judge the pick fairly until several years from anyway, so crying about it just feels pointless.

To be fair, the chances of a 2nd round pick making an impact in the NHL (100+ game career) is about 30%. Also to be fair, Kirill Koltsov I believe had a good career in Russia once he bolted back there and Yann Sauve did get hit by a car.

 

I never understood the Mallet pick, Gillis could have had him in the 7th round if he wanted.

Unfortunately, now is when the big player trades stop happening. I wish I could make them thing but looks like no dice... at least today.
