Burrows Santo Vanek
Etem Mathhias Kassian

Send Dalphe to Utica to develop

How's that Vantel?

Sidenote: (frank)ing CBC! You know if Toronto was in the playoffs they would be forcing the whole country to watch that cum dumpster of a team on HNIC right now.

wow he sure told u.


buddy went on the oiler thread recently and pontificated for about 10 paragraphs on why oiler fans are bad people, how he as no respect for us, how the oilers will never be good blah blah blah.

ignorance?? does he wanna be the pot or the kettle??

total douche

Haha, Lols...
Actually, let's not let facts get in the way of your agenda. I actually praised the work ethic of the flames in that post and compared the lack of in the oilers organization. I gave respect and full marks to the flames and called out the oilers. I didn't say oilers fans were bad people, but I'll take your word for it.

How about Steve Downie for the 4th line?

He's too good for the 4th line, on any team.

How does Sestito keep making it into everyone's fantasy lineup? Dude is terrible at Hockey, which last time I checked, is the game we're talking about.

Only if Ekblad is available, would I trade up

I'd take Bennett personally.

He's not there, primarily, to "play" hockey, he's there (supposedly) as a deterrent, to bang and crash, to keep the other team honest and to give the top nine a rest.

At least that's the way it's suppose to be

Yeah

As much as people don't realize our D sucks. I would take Ekblad

- AlexF

Yeah, maybe. I can't say I'm completely sold on the big 3 though...

As much as people don't realize our D sucks. I would take Ekblad
- VANTEL

Ekblad would not be NHL ready, if baked properly, for three years. Our forwards are currently more of a priority than the defence.

A dominant number 1 D man would rule.

This.

Personally, with this draft class, whatever pick we end up with I'd be looking to package it and trade for a budding youngster with elite upside - someone that's on the cusp of breaking out, like a Markus Granland.

Draft picks won't help us for years and if we're keeping some of the old core it seems silly not to concentrate on improving this team in the near term.

This is what I like:

Daniel Hank Jensen
Burrows ??? ???
Booth Mathhias Kassian
Sestito Richardson Dalpe

- LeftCoaster

Horvat and the other youngsters need to percolate a bit more. Daniel needs to prove he's still a first liner. Burrows and Jensen had success with Hank.
Burrows Hank Jensen
Daniel Kesler Santorelli
Booth Richardson Kassian
Higgins Matthias Hansen

Sestito can fill in as needed until Hansen is traded for something at the deadline.

I don't see us chasing any cups before then.

I'd take Bennett personally.
- AlexF

Same. Ekblad being #2 for me.

Reinhart.. So many people complain about us not drafting from our own backyard and guys like benn and so on own us.. Could very well happen again if we had the chance and went another way

We've never had one of those as far back as I can remember. But then again, I had a lot of fun in my teens and twenties.

Awesome! I think I'd take Ekblad... Some people think he can pull a Seth Jones next year and jump right in. We could then buy out Garrison and sign Vanek. Reset complete?

Except he doesn't do any of those things well either. Not a fan, send him to Utica, if he gets claimed off waivers all the better.
