is there not a D man that is worth the top overall? could you trade down a few spots and still get the top D man?

Liljegren will go at 2 or 3.

Liljegren was in the top 3 for a long time, but he dropped a lot. Don't know what happened, besides that he was injured for a while.

Yeah i don't know what happened to him, Patrick has been injured to. But liljergen isn't even in the top 5 Dmen anymore.

Some mocks have him at 7, others 3. I still think he will be a top 5 pick. If we are picking 5-8 and he's there I take him.

You think so?

Nicolas Hague, Mississauga (OHL), 6'6, 215 Ibs — FC Rank: No. 9.
Jusso Valimaki, Tri City (WHL), 6'2, 200 Ibs — FC Rank: No. 13.
Miro Heiskanen, HIFK (Liiga), 6'0, 170 Ibs — FC Rank: No. 16.
Cale Makar, Brooks (AJHL), 5'10, 180 Ibs — FC Rank: No. 18.
Callan Foote, Kelowna (WHL), 6'4, 210 — FC Rank: No. 22.

That's what they have as the top 5 now

i think we need to target dmen with some offensive ability.. and not the type of offensive play that players like gorges display.

I think he's better than those guys and mynhldraft web site has him going 3. I'm not sure why some mocks have soured on him. He's 17 years old playing in the SHL, which is amazing in itself. His defensive game needs work but he's an offensive talent and a great puck mover.

I agree. Seems Defense is all over the place this year and that there is no true "top guy"

BTW gerbe is right about Nico, he is starting to pass Patrick on a lot of mocks.

Nico is slick, could be Patrick at 1 and Nico at 2.

Maybe some mocks have soured on Liljegren because he was loaned from his SHL team to a lower league recently. That could be it. I think he is a dynamic young talent.

Vegas will have the same odds of winning the lottery as the team that finishes 3rd last. I think that is where we may finish. With that being said, if Vegas did win the lottery or got #2, would they be willing to trade that pick? They do need to fill their roster and an ahl roster correct? What kind of package would it take to get that pick? Kane, a 2nd and a 3rd? Or maybe just a prospect (maybe someone ready to make the jump) and our 1st to swap spots?

Having Guhle here next year will help. Sign college free agent Daniel Brickley would also be a nice move.

Disagree,
Lehner is the starter, the guy that was supposed to handle the load. Can he not handle back to back games?
