They will also be 34 at the start of next season and their point totals are only going to continue to drop. Hernrik only got 50 points in 71 games last season and Daniel only 47 points in 73 games. Hardly point producing machines last year and they are going to continue to drop.

And very few teams are going to take on 14 mil for that kind of point production.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For Big guys I still remember that little turd Marchand intimidating them . IT is SCF's you don't that little turd intimidate you . They may get points but can they win a cup.
- Maximum Signal

I started calling them Thelma and Louise (and that was probably an insult to those ladies) during those finals.

Like I said, not a fan. I do think that the "center of the Hockey universe" would jump all over them..and they would deserve them. That's the type of trade the Leafs would make, just because.

It's never a mistake to take the best player available. It's a mistake when you take someone who's not as talented based on need.
- HonkFortheGoose

We don't need Ekblad, this team is in no position to draft a player we don't need.

Agreed the market for them will be slim to non existent your best bet would be to separate them but they have NMC I believe so they would have to agree to the trade which I doubt they will.

= Gagner + 3rd overall

Or what EDM is willing to give up to swap.
- EnrothWeTrust

id rather just give them the second for the third straight up. as long as they draft ekblad

James Neal on the block per EK and Rob Rossi

My blood boiled when they did not stand up to Marchand . If Toronto trades for them . They deserve what they get.

We don't need to take a risk based on need. The organization is not in a position to gamble based on need.

TM said he will take the BPA.

IMO it's

Ekblad
Reinhart







the rest.

I agree. If Ekblad was a lot better of a prospect than Bennett/Draisaitl than maybe, but I don't see it

Darnell Nurse + 3rd overall, for Stafford & #2?

James Neal on the block per EK and Rob Rossi
- SABRES 89

He is on thin ice with the league and the league doesn't give Buffalo a pass in that regard, I would pass unless its a steal

We don't need Ekblad, this team is in no position to draft a player we don't need.

I'm not sure what team you watched last year, but the one I watched, needs help in every area. You take the BPA. Period.

- Stripes77

That was one season, and that whole organization was f&#ked last year.

They will bounce back. They're too talented.

But, like I said, I'm not a fan, and I'm not sticking up for them and really couldn't care less what happens to that team or to them.

If they finish their careers there, they still had good careers, with some - albeit limited - team success.

We don't need Ekblad, this team is in no position to draft a player we don't need.

Then you get your 1C next draft.

James Neal on the block per EK and Rob Rossi
- SABRES 89

Hoff, Foligno, 31, and parts for Neal, 22, and Scuds

Darnell Nurse + 3rd overall?
- SuperCat

Not a chance Edmonton would send Nurse to move up 1 spot

This team will set it self back 3 more years by drafting Ekblad, you take Bennett or Draistle, I spelled that wrong.

+1

Pick Bennett.

Then you get your 1C next draft.
- sambarugh

Nothing is set we will even have that chance next year

Hoff, Foligno, 31, and parts for Neal, 22, and Scuds
- dadeadhead

Neal is a floater and a glider, another lazy player.

What if Bennett takes 3 years to develop and you can take a center next year that is ready in 1. Suddenly you're ahead of schedule.

- grand-magus

They are going to be 34. There isn't much bounce back left in them. NHL scorers hit their prime in their mid 20's and the fall off happens after 30. I don't see them ever hitting anything above 65pts ever again if that high.

Nothing is set we will even have that chance next year
- SABRES 89

In next years draft it is entirely possible even if we pick in the 5-15 range.

Neal is a floater and a glider, another lazy player.
- SABRES 89

Neal is a sniper. But he's a guy that needs a good line to be successful.
