The goal is last place Now .. The draft is not going to be like the last 2 but I see some promising players in the top five and very good depth in the later rounds

i dont think they'll actively go for last or finish there. They will win and go on a streak at some point. Just sell off the UFA's and any bad contracts if you can, see where the chips fall and go from there.

I was so pumped for the 2015 draft with all the picks we had to make, and then so bummed when Murray traded away #21, 25. To have had taken two quality players then and have them ready to go around now would have been awesome for our depth. But we got Lehner and Kane... so it's all good, right...

I was pissed that day too I had my tickets already to go to the draft and then the trade happened in the morning or afternoon soured Me lol

Now that you look at the players that we could've taken .

could've helped our roster now

I think his calling is a Jordan Nolan it's not a bad thing but when your a first round pick its irritating for me but we didn't draft him
- GERBE!!!75PTS


Carrier was a second round pick, I think #53

Somewhere in Colorado they're saying the same thing about us.

Both questions have the same answer.

Absolutely. It was a real deep draft and they knew that. But Murray wanted NHL guys now and I guess to a point I can also understand that. But what he got for those picks sucks!

Colorado has more superstars and a way more powerful Offense than us Imo

Not really. Love Duchene and Mackinnon. Landeskog is pretty good but he's not exactly a superstar. Their D as a whole is as bad as ours.

It's shocking because they've made the playoffs after bottoming out and rebuilding with top 3 picks, and now they're back at the bottom. This can happen to us if we're not careful and guys could want to jet to other cities. I think we can bottom out this year, grab one more top 3 pick, and then come into next year with hopefully Nylander, Guhle, and (God willing) Liljegren and shot for 10 years worth of playoff runs.

Yep you guys are correct

Just looking at the 2014 draft it looks like Murray picked three bust in the 2nd round

Landeskog is like that Ryan O'Reilly type you don't know what you have until he's gone he may not show up on the score sheet but he does the little things that go unnoticed

Closer to Reinhart than O'Reilly but either way we've got 2 of those... basically the same set up. and the same reason for why we're stalled


Its interesting that you give Landeskog that pass but not Reinhart

I'm just saying we're comparing landeskog and sam when it's apples and oranges one is a physical Beast 1 tries to be.

If Sam ever becomes close too landeskog then he was worth the 2nd overall pick right now he's not

Yes, nobody wants to rush prospects and ruin them long term. We need to remember our lesson from Gregorenko. But, I don't see Frasch, Bap, Bailey, or Carrier really becoming top 6 material either. They're good, fast, but mostly grinders... I think we have some Jamie McGinns in the making. Others here think much more highly of them, so I could be right, I could be wrong, we'll see. But from what I've seen, I see nothing that says we need to say "NO" when other teams come calling and offer good value in return.

I would love that. A 20 goal guy that can play anywhere in the lineup and doesn't take penalties. His career high PIM is 38 but that was in 59 games, last year he only had 33 in 84 games.

And if it's good value it doesn't really matter who the player is, anyone can be traded. If Winnipeg called up and said, "Hey we really need centers, so we'll give you Laine and Byfuglien for Eichel." I think they do that.
