Okposo makes the most sense to me...in regards to the draft. Benning has been high on PLD and Tkachuk. I think he has learned how to be a little less transparent in his interviews in order to mislead other GM's so I really have no idea who he prefers between the two. He has been providing glowing reviews of both for 6 months

The best part is we get one of Tkachuk or Dubois no matter what. I would think he is higher on Dubois and pumping up Tkachuck to see if PC jumps on him. I don't think either one is a bad option but I would say he is higher on Dubois personally. He just doesn't have the luxury of choosing which one he gets first.

As for Okposo, I really hope we are a fit for him. Would love to see him play here and I think he would fit right in.

NYI reported looking to deal 19OA for a forward. Hansen anyone?

You would think they go D if they got another 1st. Doubt Fabbro or Bean will be there at 19. But McAvoy might.

I seen a bit last week where he had better things to say about Brown the Dubois.

He will fall into CAL's lap.

Rumours out there that Calgary is trying to jump up to 3 or 4...i would assume to grab tkachuk

If they move to 3 like EDM supposedly is trying to do, this draft is going to be real interesting. JB better get his hair dye ready!

If Calgary take Tkachuk at 3 and Montreal take Dubois at 4 then we get Puljujarvi at 5

Probably nothing happens top 5 and we get Dubois or Tkachuk

I said this a couple of threads ago that Columbus isn't sold on Puljujarvi and that the 3rd pick could be had. Funnyit could create a huge bidding war where we might be able to get a top6 young guy swap of 1st rounders and a 2nd pick back or just pick him

Okay with that. What could you get for Sbisa?

Laughed at ?

Another forum had a Hab fan asking if we'd swap our first picks in exchange for Beaulieu and we'd add in Subban. I think it'd be okay but maybe a little bit of an overpay for Beaulieu, but he's a top4 dman

If Philly wants him for a pick I'd send him back for a 2nd or 3rd rounder

Sbisa no , for Canucks yes . We have too many forwards

You could definitely completely change our defensive prospect pool with that trade. Beaulieu and with 9 sergachev, Juolevi or Chychrun whomever is left.. But I still think tkachuk or PLD and see what subban can turn into..

Certainly have their fair share. Rodin almost the forgotten man. Interesting to see how he does. + add a UFA or 2. guys like Burrows would be bought out more because of roster space, than cap space.

The league has to announce what the salary cap will be, then the action will get hot and heavy.

I wonder what it would take to get the 10 pick so we could grabd chychrun sergachev or bean whoever is there. Not trading 5 tho

I love Burrows for what he has done but his time is up. We will pick up 2 UFAs . No room for Burrows or Higgins
