They may want Montour more than Ristolainen, but even if that's true, it would be more like Montour, 8th overall + for Ehlers and the 10th overall.

Probably.
But if I'm Adams I'm playing chicken and not offering the "+".
Let Edmonton overpay as I'd be very happy to make the pick at 8

Montour, Kahun, 8th overall to Winnipeg for Ehlers, 10th overall.

Would you do that deal?

The money would be close to even as Ehlers makes $6M and the combination of Montour and Kahun will be close to the same.

No idea what the plus would be. Kahun?
- kingcong39

Didn't think of him, but think I would still do it.

I would too. Plenty of good players will be available at 10, and Ehlers is quite good.

Nope.
I liked what I saw in Kahun and the 8th is going to he good.
Let Edmonton squirm Monte and 8th for Ehlers and 10th...hurry though cause I might make the 8th selection quick if I'm on the clock.

LW, which means you're moving VO to his off-wing, unless you're dropping him down to line 3.

Ehlers is a RW with Winnipeg, I believe.

Well see how the off wing goes, or let him and Cozens grow together. You really are not adding any money, so you still could add in FA, and you still have a asset in Risto if you want to use in a trade.

Good find 39, he has been playing RW
Olofsson Eichel Rhino
Skinner Staal Ehlers
Makes for a interesting top 6

Neither will be.

5 Ottawa - Sanderson
6 Anaheim - Drysdale

- kingcong39


If either of these guys are still available at 8, would you guess the Sabres pick a defenseman?

Might make the pick more valuable like 36 suggested.

I think these playoffs drive up the defenseman top 10 picks. For years to come.

Wonder if Coleman could be had for a 4th
Coleman Cozens Smith
Could make a decent 3rd line

I think Tampa just gave up a 1st for coleman?

He has played very well and is very affordable for next season.

Probably cost more than a 4th.

Closer to 8OA with an extension in place.

*midround first more likely

Tampa has to cut salary somehow and I could be wrong but Coleman May have no trade protection so he may have to be parted with if the guys they want to move won’t waive their NMC/NTC

Wow Thanks Boss, didn't know they gave up that much for him. Can't hurt to try, Tampa has got to cut Celery some where.

You are correct about Coleman not having an NTC/NMC.

Like Fast to, thought he played RW though, could be wrong.

Hey 39, do you know what Granlund expected next contract could be.
