Based on team needs/wants


COL has offensive minded GM in Sakic
FLA is clueless IMO
TB has offensive minded GM in Yzerman
NSH is all about D

How many times does a top 5 pick get traded? There's still plenty of time.

Oh yeah. Just an observation, not a prediction of the entire day.

Keeping the pick is the safest thing to do in the top five. Guys lose their jobs for trading in the top five.

True. I just meant trades in general and not including the top 5 picks.

I still say we see a few trades in 10 - 20.

Cpt was talking about Jones. I agree I would have went Jones but that's because the Isles have a need for him. The top 3 teams valued Offense over Jones

There's more booing at this draft than at the Coliseum when DP starts.

Just disagreeing with most of your views on those teams. Aside from not being GM, Sakic has been in charge of player moves for all of a month. Clueless Florida has a better prospect pool than we do. Tampa has taken D with 2 of their last 4 top picks.

#Isles have acquired Cal Clutterbuck from the Wild for Nino Niederreiter.

As we all know they usually do and with good reason to an extent. Unless a team is in desperate need of a spark Jones should've been number 1. Again, didn't do much research with this draft but this kid in five years is going to be a commodity that every single NHL team wants and if they don't have it would have to give up way too much to get. Just my limited knowledge on the subject two cents.

I felt FLA could have done much better then Barkov. I could be wrong because I really don't know a lot about him. TB really surprised me because they have a powerful offense but a piss poor backline. Hedman looks to be better but I don't think he'll be the player he was supposed to be when they picked him.
