If it's true that Bowman is in love with Severson, then we keep him. Teravainen is a great talent, but he hasn't put up a lot of offense to justify trading Severson for him. Severson's position is more important.

I wouldn't mind trading for Teravainen, but not for Severson, or for much really. A guy like Yakupov has shown more offense then Teravainen and could cost less then trading Severson.

Or maybe you could think of it as you could get more than just Yak for Severson...

Oil will throw in Ference...

I was thinking more a conditional 2nd. like 20 goals/40points, or 40 points for the 2nd. I wouldn't trade Severson.

Really? I think the talent he to offer is more valuable.

Defensemen>forward. Also Severson just has way too much talent to trade unless the offer blows us out of the water.

would have no problem taking Jost. Frankly looking at them Mcleod and Jost are basically the same player. Fast, playmaking centers, who god forbid, can actually win a face off. The player i want nothing to do with is dubois, I see a slow,ploding forward who will be a career AHLer or 4th liner on a bad team. Wouldn't be totally against moving down to the 15th to 18th spot, get a few extra picks and take either brown, bellows or kunin.

some scouts are concerned Mcleod's game wouldn't transfer to the NHL but i feel thats a concern with every player being drafted...

if not top 3 then Keller, Jost, Chyrchrun or trade down and try to get another 2nd

No way the top defenseman in the draft makes it to 11.

I was thinking, if we won the DL 1st overall, should we trade down. WIN and ARI could be targets, given they have they would have the 7th and 8th picks, plus the 15th and 16th/17th picks(not sure the specific place right now). I think it would depend where EDM is, if they pick Chychrun.

I would want both 1st from either team and possibly their 1st next year, but not sure it would work., that 2017 1st that is.

Keller/ Jost or trade down and pick up another second of possible. With New Jersey in dire need of restocking the prospect pool, no way Shero should be taking a chance on a guy who may or may not become an every day NHL player.

You would trade down from Matthews?

You can make a case if we win 2-3, though.

Normally yeah, but the dire need is not at defense.

We don't really need any more middle 6 forwards either. And we aren't exactly deep enough to give up someone like severson unless we will be getting a legit 1st line player/prospect in return.

Matthews is exactly what we need. Only way I'd consider trading down is if we still get Laine/Puljujarvi + whoever they took 1st round last year + young top 4 D man.

I don't see him becoming more than a 50-60 point, 2 way player.

WIN and ARI would never do that. If we got Keller at 7th/8th, and Jost/Bellows, etc. at the other pick wouldn't be good? And if we got their 1st next year.

I don't see him dropping but it happens. Seth jones dropped Larsson dropped totally different scenarios but it still happens.

So two of the goalies nominated for the Vezina are Bishop and Holtby, well deserved. But, the third is Quick? Seriously?

Also on most scouts lists Chychrun is 3rd highest rated defenseman.

And that is fine with me. You don't pass on a generational talent unless the other team goes overboard with their offer. Two first round picks is not even close to fair value.

it's not just about adding more picks. These players in 1-3 are potential franchise players. Most likely make an impact on the NHL next season. players you build around. The offer would have to be too good to pass.
