I'd like to root for Carolina, but I want this other first rounder to be as high as possible

Are people forgetting about this? I want Boston to demolish them

I don't think he'll have to take a discount though, I think he'd get a 4 year 12 million deal on the market with a promise of more than the 4th line

I think hes gone

I'd give him 4 years at $2.5M and the "C"!!!

We got #1.
I would trade 20 for 31 every year if part of it was that Carolina gets to beat out Boston.

I was thinking about the C last night. I wonder if they hold out now. What if Laf really is the real deal. Do they wait 2 years and go the Eichel, Crosby, and McDavid route and make him the young captain? His personalty and game seem to make him seem like a leadership type of player.

I'd go Trouba as captain, but that's just me

I give it to Zib next year personally

You're asking for Leetch 2.0 there. I don't think Zib has the vocals for it. You make CK20 captain as he's done it in college and can say the right things. Make ALF and A in 2 years if he's truly a leader and then he's the heir apparent when CK contract is over

I am all in for Alf!!!

Don't know about that. They interviewed Zib and his teammates before last year and they said how he has really taken over the leadership role.

Don't like Kreider as the C he is too inconsistent. Kreider just needs to concentrate on playing hard every game. Zib has been one of the most consistent players the last 2 years

Um, excuse me?
I have already selected our next captain. You are all just going to have to learn to live with it.

really, whether it's Kreider, Zib, Trouba, I am fine with any of them as captain

I do think they actually need to name a captain though, its time

Fast would be awesome if he wasn't mute. His work ethic every shift is something every player can learn from.

The Wild are in the market for a goalie. Maybe Hank plays his final year w/ Zuuc and plays majority of games while mentoring the Wild's rookie goalie?

Were all so sold on LaFreniere being our pick... but has anyone given any serious thought and consideration that maybe they go for Byfield instead?

Hank for Dubnyk, then we buyout Dubnyk, would be 2.6 mil cap hit

Minnesota has to take Hank's whole cap hit though

Take the BPA here. Alexis light years ahead of Byfield. If we want a 2C we have trade chips to make it happen

hey, no I don't, I think they'd trade down if they aren't sold on Lafreniere but I cant imagine that they would be

Personally Im all for having 2 top end LWs scoring 100 pts.

Essentially a second Panarin, who may be even better. Two absolutely deadly lines.

I can't even imagine them sticking at 1 and passing on Lafreniere, it's such a clear cut choice this year

him and Byfield are not 1a and 1b like Hughes and Kakko were last year

there is a drop off

they shouldn't
- BINGO!

If they did, I'm done
