Besides the A level prospects (Gormley, Domi), I don't think AZ has the bona-fide starters we need, besides OEL.

Would you do it for OEL, Domi and the 2nd pick?

Personally, that's not enough for me.

Idk...
I really like Eichel, so that might be enough for me to do it.
Tough to pass on McDavid though.
He's putting up #s in the OHL tht are FAR superior to what Hall, Stamkos & Tavares were.
That alone shows his potential.

While both guys should end up being very good, McDavid seems to have the higher ceiling to me

I think its bad "JuJu" talking about possible trade hypotheticals based upon an asset we have been striving for ALL YEAR! Please we will have so much time if we can lock this up to discuss all kinds of crazy things, but we need to put it in the garage before we talk about how close to a shutout our goalie is with 2mins to play!

In 2 years we will need that goalie. whether he is already here or not. The prospects we have now should be having a tag as great or bust. Just my thoughts.

Hmmm...
A lot of the prospects we have we still won't know about for a few years.
Fasching & Compher prob spend another year in the NCAA
Next year will be the 1st for Baptiste & Bailey in the AHL.

Sure, we don't necessarily "need" our franchise goalie for next year. But if Murray can make the deal now for Allen or Vasilevskiy or whoever, why not?

How many goalies have we had start for us over the last two years?
We've had a crazy amount of injuries/trades.
Next year, there's a good chance we have 2 brand new goalies as well.

And if Dalpe plays on the 2nd line over Hodgson then Nolan is an idiot. It's getting harder & harder to defend him

Who knows what he will do. I like his plan so far. Will have to see what he ends up putting on the ice this Oct.

Definitely. I really don't care for Boston's Ric Flair routine, though.
