Incredible game so far. The whole Kucherov thing is kinda ridiculous though. Wasnt healty enough to play the entire season but healthy enough to play at a Conn Smyth level so far in the playoffs. Bolts definitely got away with some shenanigans there.

If you don’t want to draft Powers, you trade down from 1 and pick Beniers, eklund or Hughes. Call me crazy, but I’m taking the 6’6” player who skates like a 5’11” elite player, has tremendous outlet skills and will fill out to be 230-235 pounds. Don’t overthink this

Think we see what happens with Eichel and Rhino and when or if they are both traded what pieces come back, think it gives you a better sense of what you have.

What would it take to move down to 6 with Detroit?

6 is too far down to drop, I’d want to guarantee the opportunity to draft powers, Beniers, eklund or Hughes, so I’m dropping to 4 at most

Yep - good thing is I believe two of our scouts worked with Powers in Chicago and Granato’s brother coached Beniers so we’ll have insider info on both

Way more than Detroit is willing to part with.

Maybe more.

Sorry, moving to 1 is not cheap. Even in Covid season.

Agreed. There should be a minimum number of games played to be eligible for the playoffs.

I would totally trade it for their pick this year and unprotected next year. That’s worth it

Don's brother Tony is with Wisconsin where he had Weissbach. Not sure if he has any connection to Beniers. Don may have dealt with Beniers with the US development team way back.

Not sure. The Granato boys have some deep US connections though
