Harry is one ugly kid

If only Vancouver traded Boeser for Schenn. They might have made the playoffs this year. And this Elias Pettersson guy would be in New York with the Rangers. First round picks are useless though and are unproven. Let’s trade them all

Good thing we kept Girgensons
We’d be lost without our Captain
Oh, wait...

U really think building down the middle is dumb?
It would be a GOOD thing to have 3 quality centers, not bad
3 lines that can score would be great...
Right?

Take the money you’d give Silfverberg & Coyle, and use it for a “difference maker” instead

Is Casey the second line center?

Captain chaos

If Columbus has to trade bob and panarin this May be the team we have to squeak by to get in the playoffs

It's absurd but it works the other way too

"We should trade a first"

"They're too valuable"

"What about for player x"

"They'd be crazy to accept a 1st"

The picks are good for us, but useless compared to other teams' assets

But that doesn’t fit his narrative...

“The Leafs turning Santorelli and Franson — two redundant role players — into Dermott and Bracco is a good example of the benefits in trading vets for picks at the deadline”- Steve Kournianos.

Could of had Teravinen or Hertl. That comes down to management. But saying we shouldn’t of kept that pick is false. How happy are the Sharks right now that they kept that pick. Don’t you think the Blackhawks wish they still had Teravinen ?

Is Casey the second line center?
- homiedclown

He should be, but if we can find another C better then him to play 2nd line we have a group down the middle that contends for cups for a long time.

I can’t wait till Thompson is a perennial 25 goal a year goal scorer and I can troll half of this board.
- Pegullaville

If Tage becomes a 25goal scorer,
I’ll buy his jersey & post it on here in admission of being wrong about him

He’s got a ways to go though

Casey would be better suited as a top 6 winger though instead of 3rd line center

Tampa traded Konecny for Brayden Coburn.

I sure would like Casey as 3C
Let him grow into a matchup nightmare for teams

He is on par with last seasons production

When did I say building down the middle was dumb?

Brayden Schenn would need a new deal next year.

You know what could be very smart? Drafting a center that can develop

That works too.

- Pegullaville

But management of EVERY SINGLE TEAM makes mistakes in the draft

Pretending Botts won’t also is ludicrous

Ouch

- homiedclown

Casey needs speedy finishers imo. I like him at center

We have none of them. Both Sheary and ERod are set up men

Like Girgs?
Or Grigorenko?

Btw... u seem to be stuck on Schenn
I didn’t bring him up
You did

Dude, for the love of god please read this -

NO ONE IS SAYING HE WONT MAKE MISTAKES

THE ENTIRE POINT IS TO KEEP THE PICKS TO GIVE US BETTER ODDS ON LANDING AN IMPACT PLAYER

NONE OF US THINK EVERY PICK WILL PAN OUT. None

I sure would like Casey as 3C

- jdfitz77

That's what they've been doing. Every line without Eichel is getting 3C time on average

He is on par with last seasons production
- homiedclown

Scheifiele had 35 points in his first 82 games. Not saying Thompson is anywhere the type of player Schiefe is but we have been spoiled by elite young talent tearing up the league at a young age. Give Thompson time and he’ll prove you wrong.

That's a goal

Like Girgs?
Or Grigorenko?

Btw... u seem to be stuck on Schenn

- jdfitz77

Yes, maybe one of them ends up like Girgs. And I’ll take that if one of the three end up a Barzal or Larkin or Connor or Pastrnak
