Bennett didn't just drop 280pts in ONE season
Come on
U are vastly overstating how much work Reinhart's skating needs
- jdfitz77

We'll see about that. I just don't think you draft players at #2 with big flaws to their game like some scouts have said Reinhart has regarding his skating. Not to mention he isn't a shooter, he is a passer (hello Tim Connolly).

An 18 yr old, 6'2", 225 lb, power forward who hits anything that moves... AND scores goals!!

Whats not to like?

Worst case, Ritchie is Lucic. But what if he could be more like Perry/Benn? This kid could easily become a beast in his prime.

Sounds like Kassian...

No, but Draisaitl did pop 97g and 95a in 29 games as a 15 year old.

Deutschland Dangler!

2015 will be so much easier having these discussions.

Not if they don't pick 1 or 2.


Talk about this place exploding........


Peace Bridge will be on suicide watch.

I swear, I'm not trying to be a d!ck...
I just don't see why u are content trading for a 3rd liner?
Just seems like a really bad idea to me
We should be able to get more
- jdfitz77

Because I like his speed and I'm more interested in the 13th overall pick coming back.


Reinhart/Bennett/Ekblad + a guy like Perlini would be a great add for us

Sounds like Kassian...

Benoit Pouliot

Idk about that
Right now, I'm actually leaning towards Eichel
And I'll bet I'm not the only one

Well no but I'm thinking either we'll draft 1 or 2 in which it will be an easy call or we won't and enter your peace bridge theory.

But at least this time we'll have a clear cut 1 and 2

Actually, worst case - and many scouts are concerned with his consistency and work ethic - is Wayne Primeau

Kickassian?

Again, you don't think Washington could get better value?

I mean honestly Hoff is a #4 on that team.

Carlson
Alzner
Green
Hoff

We'll see about that. I just don't think you draft players at #2 with big flaws to their game like some scouts have said Reinhart has regarding his skating. Not to mention he isn't a shooter, he is a passer (hello Tim Connolly).
- GilPerreault11

I honestly feel you would like Reinhart more than Bennett if you weren't miserably confused about everything regarding Reinhart.

Ritchie not Bennett

Ritchie=Pouliot

Real talk though, if they finish with the 1st overall pick and take anyone other than McDavid they will be laughed off the stage.

After all the hype whichever team drafts 1st overall is either taking him or suffering the wrath of years of PR nightmare.

I think you're overrating those two.

Best case is they get to draft both..........

Reality is they could get neither......

Which is why Murray has to get back, as high as he can, into round one this year. Make this draft count as much as possible

I think you're overrating those two.

Carlson/Green
Alzner/Hoff
Orlov/Erskine


like I said a #4.

Actually, worst case - and many scouts are concerned with his consistency and work ethic - is Wayne Primeau
- grand-magus

Worst case Lucic...

We'll see about that. I just don't think you draft players at #2 with big flaws to their game like some scouts have said Reinhart has regarding his skating. Not to mention he isn't a shooter, he is a passer (hello Tim Connolly).
- GilPerreault11

1... Provide a link where someone says his skating is a "big flaw"
Like I said before, u are vastly overstating it
2... He's not a shooter?
How many more goals did Bennett score?
Just bc someone is a great "playmaker" doesn't mean they also can't be a good scorer
U sound like Reinhart had 20g and 80a
Again... U ate overstating it

Seriously!? If ur gonna compare reinhart to Connolly then we can compare Bennett to gerbe. Fast, hardworking, grinder that weighs as much as a paper clip. This is not the try hard league or the speed skating league. Best players read the play better than anyone else.

Best case is they get to draft both..........

Reality is they could get neither......
- dadeadhead

I wouldn't be so sure. I'm not going to buy a McDavid/Eichel sabres jersey anytime soon but the right moves could see this team at the bottom again.

At the very least could end up with one of them. In the end I suspect they end up with a record similar to Calgary's and drafting somewhere between 3-5 and the isles pick around 9-12.

Worst case Lucic...
- jochfr

IMO best case is he's Lucic
Reality he's Kassian
worst case is Rasmussen
