2C agreed. I can see him as 3C though. That's all I meant, if Mitts can step into the 2C spot, I'm okay with Rodger as 3C until 7OA is NHL ready.

As a holding pattern next season, sure I guess.
They will be a good team when Erod is play 4C though.
I like the guy, but I would hope for much much better in the 3 position

I think it's Zegras or Caufield depending who is on the board. I mentioned this before, but the sabres amateur scouting director was on WGR and he was kind of fan boying about Caufield. Smoke screen? Maybe.

Maybe, but agreed. It's one of those two unless someone falls or they are in love with Dach/Pod.

I'm thinking maybe the Wings take Cole at 6.
Now Vancouver was said to ge tryingvto move up into 6 or so?
Would that be for him as well?

Should be interesting.

IMO... unless they see Mitts or Zegras more well suited on the wing... IDK why you draft another Center. yea yea.. you can never have too many centers but at #7.. when our wing prospects are as depleted and not high talent ceiling like they are... I stab at that but that's just me.

Eichel
Mitts
ERod
Asplund
Davidsson
Oglevie
Ruotsalainen
Pekar

That's fair.

Still, some can be converted, our best RWer is a former center as an example.

BPA is probably the best course for the franchise at this point. Not sure I care what position it is personally.

Yes

I think they could pull off 2 ....

Vesey then Zucker or Toffoli.

No way vesey will cost a lot.

A center converting to wing is a lot easier than winger converting to center. Rarely does that ever work out.

There is so much parity between 3-8, even 3-9 or 10. Million things could happen. Cole to the Wings make sense. But can't say they wouldn't go with Cozens, Zegras or any of the other top10ers really.

Kakko, Hughes and Byram will be gone by 7. Turcotte too most likely.

Cozens, Zegras, Pod, Cole and Dach. We'll get our pick at 3/5. Sounds good.

I figured as much but i am obviously still bitter about re-qualifying both Girgs and Larsson. One of them maybe. Both of them -

Is getting rid of Okposo worth dropping 3 spots?

Would be a steal, but why would Van do that? They already have their own Okposo.

Ok, 10 and Eriksson retained at $2m for 7 and Okposo

How badly do they want to move up?

For their role, they played fine last year as fourth line players, did they play too much? Sure, but that’s on Phil, as far as their role they performed well, we could definitely do better, but just because they got QO doesn’t mean they are signed correct?
