If he is that good, then why not offer sheet him?
What is that price?

4 1st round picks I believe.

UPDATING: Looks like the Turcotte buzz is dying off and some are saying they expect CHI to select Kirby Dach at #3.
- Tyler Cameron

Oh... sweet sassy molassy...

I recently read that Benning is talking to Chiarelli about joining his staff?

How high do you have to be to think that’s a good idea?

It is the Pacific NW, so maybe just a tad more than normal?

Wow, that is hefty indeed. Thanks

Just some rumblings on the Draft Floor. Chicago is really high on Kirby Dach. Buffalo loves Spencer Knight which doesn't make sense but that's the buzz. If Broberg gets to Edmonton, they will take him & the PK Subban to Leafs is REALLY heating up. Some I question but we'll see!
- TommyHawk

Of all the possibles Dach is not someone I want. I get visions of Daze and his frame and back issues. Tall players like Dach have to work harder and use more of their body to generate the speed they need. It’s a physics thing. His back will be the first thing to go.

Ok, now I really want Dach.

If we draft Dach without drafting down I will be PISSED! We were gift wrapped the 3rd overall and I bet Dach doesn't go until 7/8. Byram or bust!

Lol Kings are dumb.


Increased chatter on Kings C/RW Jeff Carter. Nothing imminent yet.

He was horrible last year

Well, that explains a lot about GPS.

If Manning can be dealt to Edmonton anything is possible.

Well, the bright side is that if Chiarelli does join the Vancouver front office, Stan can call them up and dump some more crap on them for a decent return.

Don't think Robertson is going to make it out of the 1st RD. I like Tracey, too.
- Elbows15

We can hope right lol I mentioned on the Devils thread that if Podkolzin where to drop to 15 thats probably where I would feel comfortable trading up to but no sooner then that.

I think we are pretty good with Blackwood but if I can grab a 6'7 goalie in the 4th or 5th rounds I likely would as its seems to be a theme recently for the Devils ( Gillies Senn, Akira Schmid are 6'4 and 6'5 and Blackwood is 6'4 )

No way do the Kings pass on a 6'4" power player with skill in Dach IMO

The Hawks pick...

Think it was also mentioned that Carter would retire if he was traded.

Retire and give up the chance to play with his good buddy Duncan Keith?!?

Why, tho? What is your reasoning that Byram is the sure thing?

Back off man, he’s a scientist.

Nor should the Hawks.

If he is determined by the scouts to be to be the best power forward, I’m on board with that. I think Cozens and Dach are a coin flip.

I just think they need stones up front more then a 946th D prospect.

😄 All you have to do is make to management at the NHL and no matter how bad you are you will find a job the rest of your life.[/img]

Not that anyone cares, but I'll go on the record:

My preference: Byram
Can live with: Turcotte or Dach
Heartburn over: Cozens or Zegras

I feel like there is much more risk in the latter two reaching their advertised potential.
- gmurban

I think Byram has the biggest bust potential, by far...defensemen usually do. The forwards will almost certainly, at the very least be useful NHL players.

Of all the possibles Dach is not someone I want. I get visions of Daze and his frame and back issues. Tall players like Dach have to work harder and use more of their body to generate the speed they need. It’s a physics thing. His back will be the first thing to go.

Holy cow has been drafted yet and we have him going on IR

Especially when the tallest player in NHL History just played in the Stanely Cup Finals at age 42.......If ANYONE is an injury risk its Turcotte.
