What if you trade down and some team wanting a RHD trades up?

Yup, like John Schneider from the Seahawk's, he loves getting more picks. The guy's a gunslinger!

There's a couple of center's that are going to be available high in the 2nd that i'm excited about.

That there is the problem. I like about 15 players in the draft. In the better years I never want to move down. I usually don't like moving up either (too costly) .

Minivan may want a center at #32 but if I was going for a center I would rather get the better one at 10.

I find every year Benning and Canucks rarely take who we want but it is fun to discuss. I think this year they will select with number 10 whoever is left and about 99% of us will be wrong once again.

In 35 years or So, that I have followed the draft, I have gotten 1 pick right, other than the obvious Linden, Sedin and Sedin picks.
I got Jack Rathbone correct.

I got Jake right wish I didn't .

NYI doing a great job against the Pens. Got to love the first round.

Trade down scenario?

If Benning traded down and doesn’t get his guy, then we’ll have to listen to Him trying to spin it like he’s happy about the pick he didn’t want. He is not much of a poker player.

I'm hoping for Seider and a draft day trade

The reason I like Seider is it will let you concentrate mainly on forwards for the next two drafts.

The draft day trade, may just be a trade down.
Someone mentioned the other day about trading #10 pick for Habs #15 and a 2nd. This could be realistic, as I think If the player/s that Benning wants aren't there, he may pull the trigger on something like that.
Pretty sure Montreal would really like to get hometown boy, Lavoie.

yup, him and a trade for another D, if the price involves a pick next year I guess you bite the bullet.

Yeah I think so.

When your star player (Pettersson ) asks can you go find me a proper winger , it will probably get the attention of the GM.

You just can't let Bo get older and older and say we are not there yet. Sooner or later you need to make moves.

His first two years were bad

Most focus on that and not the recent
