These draft rankings are very lose and varied. Watch Sabers pass on Powers to start the shuffle.
- NuckUp

If passing then trade down to 2nd or so. Imo it’s not a slam dunk taking Powers imo he’s huge but not an overwhelming 1oa.

Ty Carol

McTavish for me size & uses it.
Johnson is intriguing
Lucious could live with if they’re gone.
Svechkov is a dark horse.

As much as I like Wallstedt to be gone to make players drop to us I don’t see it. Prefer a C since don’t see RHD available at 9th. As more chatter happens as the draft nears & what happens leading up to it & the e-draft should be fun.
- Nighthawk

Well in Carol's blog Johnson and McTavish are top 5. Lucious you always refer to as 9OA option yet in draft rankings you posted he was 39th. Quite the reach for your 3C of the future search. Can't we be happy just using JTM there for now and draft D?

I’ve seen you write this guys name a few times. Are you referring to Chaz Lucius or are you referring to Lucious Lyon from the TV show Empire?

That size and skill combo are rare any year, tape show both and some decent iq too

Boeser for Kaprizov/Greenway

Minny gets a local boy.
Kap gets his C to play with.
-same age as Boeser
-rfa but not a 7.5m qualifier
Greenway huge LW/RW mid 6 need

If Kaprizov is refusing to sign in Minny, I think this might work

He would be absolutely lethal playing with EP. Greenway would be a great versatile winger to have play anywhere in the top 9

Intriguing

Wonder if you could expand that to add in Dumba with the expansion draft in mind. Kaprizov, Greenway, Dumba for Boeser, Schimdt, OJ/pick?

Right, so let’s get this straight:

Eriksson (50% retained)+ Virtanen to Detroit for a 1st (from Washington)

Then Boeser + 1st (from Detroit/Washington) + Schmidt + Juolevi to Minnisota for Kaprizov + Greenway + Dumba?

Then the 9th overall this year to Columbus for S.Jones and that Russian kid you guys like?

Might as well do a deal for Ristolainen and Reinhart. 2021 2nd, 2022 1st, throw in Lind and DiPietro.

Miller Pettersson Kaprizov
Pearson Horvat Höglander
Greenway Reinhart Podkolzin
Motte Beagle Grayovac

#CBJ confirmed reports in Latvia that G Matiss Kivlenieks has passed away at the age of 24.

Killed in an accident.

I would be targeting CBJ with Schmidt. Good young players that want out. Don't say Seth Jones, it is a waste of energy.

I like it though maybe we could also trade Holtby and Beagle to Seattle for their 2nd?

Also, quite fond of you killing off Myers as well.

So strange, I read that he fell in his apartment and hit his head, dead shortly after.

I don't know how to explain how much I dislike the idea of drafting those 3 players in the first 3 rounds in the draft.

Hit his head after falling while exiting a hot tub. Fireworks accident and a rush to get out of the tub.
Absolute freak accident.
