Fine, but u get my point...
We should be able to get a young top line player IF we trade Myers

I don't get why people want to draft a D

You can always sign a good d in UFA you can't find a young stud center

Then why are good teams looking for defense EVERY year?
And I said take Hanifin 3rd...
No way would I take him over McDavid or Eichel

Not according to some in here . Myers is useless.

Long time till the draft . Marner may become third choice by then.

They have lots of forwards to move. Hall is the one you build around.
- Maximum Signal


I agree, they'd be nuts to trade Hall. But they have to be getting desperate, and he will get them the best return. Teams could demand him. Its not like young good defensemen are traded all that often...
Idk, who knows?
Like I said,
I don't WANT to trade Myers, but if Hall is really available, its a convo Murray should at least have

i would never take a D top 3 - 5 that's just me i hate it..

Marner will lock down the 3rd spot and Hanifin will drop like seth

So if Florida took Reinhart last year,
You would've picked Bennett or Draisaitl over Ekblad?!
Idk dude... That seems crazy to me

Not that Hanifin is Ekblad, but he's REALLY GOOD
I've hardly seen Marner play, so I don't really have an informed opinion on him. But he could jump up there. U aren't the only one I've heard suggest that.

I think a lot of factors would go in to who we take at 3...
Did we trade Myers for Hall?
How did Grigorenko progress through the rest of the year?
Marner is also a smaller guy (not tiny), and Murray seems to want to be bigger in general

So, its kind of a crapshoot right now as to what we'd do
Hopefully we pick 1 or 2 & don't have to worry about it

Edmonton does not comprehend desperate . The owner and management just figure it means another #1 pick. They figure it has to work out eventually. It is the rest of us that think they should be desperate.

They certainly are a mess
There's been rumors for a while about them moving forward for defense... It makes too much sense for them to at least consider it
Maybe its eberle or yakupov that's moved? Who knows?
I do think they'll make at least one big trade,
But it might not be till the offseason

Very true
Maybe we can send them Hodgson for something decent?!
Blows my mind that he's regressed this much
Biggest disappointment for us this year IMO
He's prob untradable at this point

Not sure about the record but didn't Buffalo have 3 or the top 11 in 1983? W

We got Barrasso, Crieghton and Lacombe if i remember right.

- BigStew



They had 6 1st rounders over the course of the 82 and 83 draft

Good article breaking down the value of Stewart & Stafford based on previous stats & the Perron trade

http://www.thefourthperiod.com/news/buf150103.html

Looks like there's a chance we can get a 1st for each of them

Only issue is if/when Stewart gets moved it will be 4 teams in 5 years.

His value (IMO of course) is less than that of Perron/Stafford.

Don't underestimate the value of the extras year on Perrons contract. He's more than just a rental. Staff and Stew will only get 2d rounders imo

True, that extra year does make a difference
Hopefully there won't be many sellers & we can find a couple desperate teams

I saw this as well. Some of the comments in that thread were spot on as they pointed out the differences between Perron and the others. No chance we get a first, and in the case of Stewart a second might also be questionable. In a dream scenario maybe we package Staff and a second for a first.

No way we get more than a 2nd for Stewart or Stafford.
