I have said many times on here I have no idea who they will draft and I speculate only . I want a Dman but I don't call Benning a fuken idiot because there is a chance he might draft a forward.

Using our spare time to speculate is an art form.

dont want soderstrom, i imagine turcotte/cozens/dach are all gone before. Its going to be anyone's guess as to who is available at 10. Going to be very interesting.

mix that with a couple of teams going off the board again like NH mentioned.
- VanHockeyGuy

We can start with another D picked after Byram goes. I’m picking the Oil doing this hopefully so Broberg i suspect. On the F’s it will be a juggle on their BPA’s being different for different teams. Just spitballin

honestly, i am less worried at who we get at #10 at the draft, but more worried about what the mentality is off management going into this off season and free agency. Really hope no splashes are made for the sake of it.

Well JB is well known to say it’s 3 parts being draft trade & UFA’s. 2 of em make ppl nervous no doubt. Now let’s be optimistic this is not another polarizing off season of player/picks movements. The fans non-confidence is warranted.

Like Vantel said, I'll trust JB's judgement he's been on a bit of a roll (and lucky) the last couple of years.

Zucker intrigues me. I'm not getting my hopes up for Panarin.

I trust the scouting staff, they will get a good player at 10.

It's a big summer, with a ton of cap readily available.

That would be fun 👍👍
Leaves EP Brock Bo & probably Pearson.
Sven on the 3rd line.

I think it’s going to be relatively tame — if we miss out on the big UFAs. I think he’ll make a pitch to Karlsson, and really really try to land Panarin. If those two fall through, I can see him just shoring things up with a signing or two like last year, and then trying to explore more via trades, but not getting much done.

They want zegras but he won’t fall. I’d say there is a 90% chance we draft Newhook

I’m thinking talk of a pitch to Panarin will amp up after the SCF is done. EK seems it will drag out on his end of it. The rest of what you say is more likely. JB will be on the phone to seek a top 6 W as a priority.

I know everyone is thinking it, but no one wants to be the first to say it, so I will. Which team will end up signing Brendan Gaunce?
