Newhook landed himself as my 9th rank player behind McMichael.

I see a very different style of game between Newhook and McMichael. For me it's basically comparing

Newhook (Ehlers) vs McMichael (Schwartz) Both are comparable 60 point players.

Schwartz is more physical and I find plays through the lanes instead of someone like Ehlers who plays around the perimeters more often.

He's pegged anywhere from 9-19 on most rankings, so you never know. Especially this year.

Binnington has been solid but I don’t think he stole any games as I’ve been following them these playoffs. If DiPietro who is similar in size could pan out the same I’d be ok with it

Could also be a trade chip, or piece of a larger deal.

It's an impossible task to figure out what players flourish and what players fail.
Who would have figured that Ryan Strome would produce so little in the league or Nichuskin. Pavel Zacha is struggling after a few seasons. Every year a player or two picked in the top 15 generally turn into full bust players. Hopefully JB's don't pick one of those.

Well another one anyways.

We know 1 or 2 teams will probably go off the board by the time we pick, hopefully JB's guy is there, if there's a couple of them still there I hope he trades down. Poker time.

You don't get to the cup finals without stealing a few games. Plus he's been in the opposing teams heads a bit too which was apparent in the WPG series.

It would be awesome to watch a rookie goalie win the cup, even if he is 25 or whatever

Absolutely didn't Murray pull that with the Pens?

That will go along nicely with the Calder trophy!

It’s Button. The jerry curl oil seeped into his brain years ago.

You’ve been following them and dont think he’s stolen any games?! I’m pretty sure you didnt watch the first or second round, cause that is just simply wrong. He was the difference against winnipeg. Shut down Dallas in the big games. I agree he wasn’t as much of a factor against SJ but he still played great. I’d say he stole around 4 games in the first two rounds. Easily their conn smythe winner at this point.

no kidding.

I wouldn’t mind Nyquist for the right price. Brings a lot of what we need as a LW powerplay guy. If the price/term was right.

Willing to be wrong, but I haven’t found him to be very impressive. I dont mind russiand but there are better looking players at 10 imo

Swede, wrong side of 20.
- VanHockeyGuy

Ya I don’t have your don cherry style bigotry, you do know that people from other countries are as diverse as they are here, right? I think he’d be good as a LW add if it was around 4.5-5x4
