For those thinking trade down, our first lines contract are up in two years. I am not sure Logan Brown is the answer.

I would stick with the top 6 pick, hope Boeser can be a guy and find and develop a centre.

I still would try to trade Hansen for a first if there are any takers

Same.
Although it raises an interesting question about who the Sedin's would play with (given Vrbata and Burows are not options)

Yup. Miller for a 2nd or 3rd would be nice too, we can find a cheaper backup for Marky via UFA

You're right
- VANTEL

What a relief.

Sutter
- VANTEL

Right.
But the cascade effect leaves that hole @ 2C.
Bo was clearly out of his depth last year.

I suppose another answer would be Loui.

I'm thinking it's cause if were picking 4th or 5th, JB wants D and knows he can wait a few picks to get it. I agree center is what we need, next years draft

IMO the only way you trade that 4 or 5 pick is if you get another first orcant miss prospect.
For example wpg's 7 and 28 for our 4th.

Even more reason for an offer sheet

Why would Chevy do that?

So what are everyone's thoughts on tanking next season again?
- VanHockeyGuy

Don't think you'll have to tank next year! Your not that good! And it's a good thing!

Why would Chevy do that?
- VANTEL

He wouldn't but that's my point, don't move the 4 or 5 pick for anything less than an overpay.

Sad that van, cal, edm and wpg all tried to improve but ended up being neck and neck with the tankers.

King Henrys contract is going to become a pain in the ass

I wonder if his eye is (frank)ed from that poke... kinda just looking like he's lost a step with the old reflexes.

I think he is getting a little older. Might be considered for the expansion draft. Rangers are getting old

It's a weak draft. This was the right year to tank. Playoffs next year
- CanuckDon

With JB scouting no draft is weak.

You are right. There is no such thing as a weak draft. It's just soft compared to this year. I'm just saying I don't want to tank again

No one wanted to tank this year but when it happens just embrace it.

Speak for yourself. I've wanted a top-5 pick since game one. This is not a cup contending lineup. Draft, draft, and draft. Defense out rebuild.

Was it a tank or was it injuries?
