Thats why i said IF he drops out of top 5
I think Carolina's going D. Their top 6 is set with E Staal-J Staal-Skinner-Semin-Ruutu-Tlusty it seems...
Carolina needs a dman more than the do FW. Defense isnt very good at all.
- FLYERSROCK!

Its been adressed on here several times that they dont like drafting D men early as it takes too long for them to develope

that is a good point... that is a pretty set top 6 right there.. I still can't believe they gave Semin a 5 year deal at 7M per..

I can see them trading back to exactly 7-9 in order to get Nurse or Risto.
- JVince11

Carolina is rumoured to be actively shopping that pick for a top 4 dman.
Big rumour is Them getting the last Staal together... obv NYR would have to add more but apparently its been discussed that Staals the mainpoint of a trade with the #5 pick.
Carolina will choose a dman if Barkov isnt there. Look at their d for next year
Pitkanen-Gleason
Murphy-Faulk
McBain-Harrison
not very good at all... and they literally have NO Defensive prospects after Murphy. None. They have Rask, Dalpe, Boychuk for FW.
If Carlina has that 5th pick and Barkov, Drouin, MacKinnon are all gone im almost positive they'll choose Nurse

who trades up or out? EDM?
- JVince11

Yea. I'm guessing after three straight years of BPA drafting, they can start looking and targeting for specific guys. I mean Carolina needs D but I think taking any of them other than Jones at 5th is kind of a reach. You could probably trade out with NJ,EDM,BUF and still probably get the 2nd best defensemen in the draft.

BTW we'll take Myers if you guys want Giroux and Couturier
- FLYERSROCK!

Sure

So you just arent going to draft a dman at #5?
doesnt make any sense. Nurse has #1 dman potential. He COULD make the Canes next year

Sure

They did sign former Sabre Marc-Andre Gragnani!!!!!!

were getting nichushkin...

avs - mackinnon/jones
florida - mackinnon/jones
tampa - drouin
nsh - barkov
carolina - could trade down or will pick a risto/nurse/lindholm/monahan
cgy - will take lindholm or monahan - need a center
edm - taking monahan or lazar
buffalo - can take lindholm or nichushkin.


holy crap our best move is actually to stay put..

Shinkaruk is a very sensitive draft pick on our message board...some love...some hate...and then some really hate

He's cocky, but he can (frank)ing snipe

avs - mackinnon/jones
florida - mackinnon/jones
tampa - drouin
nsh - barkov
carolina - could trade down or will pick a risto/nurse/lindholm/monahan
cgy - will take lindholm or monahan - need a center
edm - taking monahan or lazar

or carolina could take Nichushkin...or trade out to a team that wants to take him. Also the Lightning are really big on Nichushkin as well.

No way Lazar goes that f'n high?? I haven't seen him picked higher than like 18...

I think EDM takes Monahan or Nurse.


I would offer Carolina.... Sekera, JGL, and 8th for their 4th overall.

Even if it is just to take Nichuskin at that spot.. at least we are guaranteed that we get him then.

We do need more players to put the F'n puck in the net besides Vanek. Team that scores the MOST goals wins .

then NSH takes Drouin or Barkov and the other one falls?

1. Nate
2. Jones
3. Drouin
4. Barkov
5. Nurse
6. Linholm/Monahan
7. Monahan/Lindholm/Lazar
8. Nichushkin/Shinkaruk

Shinkaruk would do that just fine

If we were picking at 5 yea. Would love to work a deal with CAR that could get us 2 top 10 picks in this draft.

Then say bye to atleast Myers if you dont plan on trading #8 pick

BTW we'll take Myers if you guys want

I really just don't want Simmonds... I know a lot of people on here do...

I'd rather have Hartnell, Read, or Courterier.

if drouin falls i am pushing hard to get him. trade him immediately. but i dont see that happening. #5 is guarntee of barkov, drouin or nichushkin..would be nice to go out and make the pick instead of hoping though....

my favorites in the draft go like this:

mackinnon
drouin
nichushkin
jones
monahan

Sure
- cabin

My thoughts exactly Ken.

did i miss a hunter shinkaruk party
