I expect no less.

Man, if JB trades the #7, i'm coming straight to this thread to enjoy the meltdown

I wonder how teams view Veleno. Tale of two teams.
A ppg player in Saint Johns for two seasons

Or the just under a 1.5 ppg player in Drummondville. If he played entire season at Drummondville pace. That would have been 96 points in 66 games.

Just short of PLD pace of 99 in 62.

lol will be hilarious. Actually since we are outside of the top 5 picking this year it's ok if he does as long as we get the right return.

Part of me likes a Hanifin deal. There's no guarantees whoever we pick pans out.

It would have to be for #7 only IMO.

Agree. For me outside of the top 5 is kind of meh.

They say Tkachuk's skill set is way higher than his jackass brothers but it's very doubtful he falls to us. Plus there is always risk he may turn out to be a complete f*n tool like his brother.

1. obvious
2. fairly obvious
3. who knows
4. could get interesting
5. hmmm
6. really?
7. traded

Dipietro or Demko along with a player, prospect or pick?

JB can ill afford to f*ck this up if he were to pull the trigger

One or two teams will go off the board, perhaps JB already has a deal in place if his guy(s) are gone.

In that case, trade the pick. Just don't get bent over.

That's the thing moving Demko is the kind of deal that gets a GM fired if it doesn't pan out. It's clear Markstrom will never be a starter so Demko should be off the table...period.

DiPietro...maybe as he is no where near as established as Demko IMO.

But like you said the 7OA for Hanifin is fine. no sweetener unless it's Hutton lol. If CAR doesn't bite on that just move on.

I dont wanna see any + with the 7OA for Hanifin. If CAR wants to trade a 21 year old D so bad, then take the 7OA or no deal. Don't even think about including prospects, picks or JV.

Take the BPA at 7. Someone real good will be there. You finish near the bottom of the league for a reason. Use the pick!

Play Tanev with OJ for the year.
Trade Tanev at TDL.
Trade Edler at TDL.
Trade MDZ at TDL
(if u have any D left)

Load up on picks for the VAN Draft in '19.

Resign Edler to a 2 year deal in summer.

There's a two week poker game going on.

I'll be doing my draft day ritual in a bar in front of the big screen with my buds.

This is a ban worthy statement

I'll let Marwood deal with you on this.

I have to work...

Lots of repair for Arena shut down this year but it is what it is.

Pro camps start at my rink in August. Will be interesting to chat with Sutter to see how he feels about the teams direction.

I like Sutter, however if there's as much interest from the California teams, deal him for the right package.

Yep agreed on that too.

I’m to old for the draft and my boys are to young.
