I would not do that. The only way I am trading Z and 21 is to get a proven NHL player. Not a guy that we hope someday will be a 20 goal scorer in the NHL.

There is a great chance that Rantanen falls way short of your Perry expectations.

That's not the report I've read. A ton of high quality talent up front in the top 15-20 and a lot of solid depth into the third round. 2013-esq

Everything since last year has laid out this draft as weak out of the top 10. If it wasn't for McDavid and Eichel, this draft would be weaker than last years.

I have heard this could be the deepest draft since 2003...Not sure what you are reading. The top 18-20 is pretty stacked

But (frank) his 1-3-1 I hate that I would rather put needles in my eye
- gerbe75pts

I think he would be an asset for the kinds on d and special teams, as an assistant

I'm 100% people just look at his numbers and say boy he sucks he is still very young already has the defense game of Sean Couturier he could hit the next level for his offensive game
- gerbe75pts


I'm actually for bringing him in, but I'm not going to sing praises he doesn't deserve. But I'd like to grab him for a mid round pick.

henry is coming up twice this summer


he is from kaleta country where I am by the big lake that sees babcocks new home


I do find my way to downtown buffalo on every trip, as well as the falls and lockport so it can be arranged

- navinrjohnson


Based on your Henry reports, I think downtown would be a bad idea. I have encountered spider monkeys with George Smith...

24 goals in 194 NHL games, 20 Goals in 107 KHL games. Let someone else take him.

Which is where the drop off is. It's not going to be easy to move up to the 12-16 range IMO

File a disability claim, or a claim that you feel like its a hostile environment.

That usually pays big dividends.

its not a very good one, (NO offense)

Rantanens knock has been he does not have the ability to finish, and he does not use his body. Which in the case of being compared to Corey Perry is the exact opposite.

We had a guy who was comparable to him once.

Rantanen - 35 points in 89 games in Liiga (.39)
Joel Armia - 100 points in 149 games in Liiga (.67)

I'm better with trading the #21 pick instead of waiting another 4 years for the pick to pan out.

If you could get Rychel AND Drouin for...

Any 2 of: Zadorov, Pysyk, McCabe

AND any 2 of: Grigorenko, Compher, Fasching, Hurley, Baptiste, Carrier, Bailey

AND a combination of draft picks, would you do it?

You don't trade Big Z for him when you can get a goalie without giving up anything.
