I also thought there was no chance Dobson would drop like he did last year and yet he did. While it's unlikely, I can still hold out hope.

Well it's only Tuesday night and my week is already complete.

One of Cozens or Zegras could easily fall there, too. Dach wouldn't be bad, either.
- MaximumBone

Cozens is projected at 5 or 6. Most of the others are centers and we need wingers. Poolparty and Yamo are both RW making the left side our biggest area of need. Krebs fills that need. If we cant trade 8 for a NHL ready young LW, I want Krebs. Plus hes an Alberta boy.

I'm all in for Krebs at this spot. Skilled LW/C who can keep up with our other talent. Let him percolate for a year or 2 before bringing him to town.

There are a few guys I wouldn’t mind at that spot but with things going the way they are I see dumb poop happening down the road

Sign Voynov to dumb money for depth not realizing hes suspended the first year sounds about on par for our management group.

I’m currently in favour of trading the pick if we can include Lucic in the deal as well

Sad part is of this actually happened I wouldn’t be surprised at all

finally some puck luck

Nurse and the 8th pick for your 2nd overall

I'd sooner not further cripple our teams future just to get rid of an extra 3-4 million of a cap hit.

7+ years of an elite prospect >>> 4 years of even 6mil cap space

Possible elite prospect not a certainty but I do understand your side of the argument I had the same convo with myself

A very high quality prospect at least. Worst case, he could at least bring back a legit top-6 winger.

They talk about Gretzky’s 92 goals or Sittler’s 10 pts in one game as records that may never be broken. But winning 5 draft lotteries in your first 9 years in the league? In 2 different draft lottery eras, no less. That is a record that will stand forever.

at least he can laugh too

I just have no confidence they will make a good selection with that pick....perhaps I would feel better about it if someone else was making the decisions

Too early to tell on Mittlestadt, Boqvist and A. Nylander, but other than Ristolainen, Werenski and Couturier, that list is pretty underwhelming.

When Columbus gets bounced in 4 by Tampa and Duchene, Panarin, Bobrovsky and Dzingel flee, trade them the pick.

Something like Russell, Nuge, and 8th overall for Anderson, Bjorkstrand and Wennberg.

We’ve seen people slide before, not completely out of the question that Byram or Turcotte is there at 8. Would be a great scenario for you guys to grab either one of them.

Possible, but I'm not gonna count on it.

So. Hughes or the Finn. Which gives Smelly the bigger chubby?

Byram is the dream at this point seeing as my other dream will be selected by the Rangers....it’s true guys have taken a slide in the draft but Byram would have to fall from 3rd to 8th....maybe that’s the real lotto luck we will get instead

Risto is underwhelming as well but maybe don’t force him to be a top pairing guy if he isn’t ready...I’m sure the Sens wouldn’t mind getting into the top 10 either trade wise....there would be some trade options out there

At least we still have this beautiful specimen even tho the Toronto media are trying to trade him too
