Then that seals it. There's no downside to getting a guy who didn't score a goal off your roster

I thought it was hilarious that Button's first mock expansion draft had Vegas taking Delsauriers from us. Now both him and Severelli have them taking Carrier.

If your choice was Ennis, DLo, Bogo, Falk, or Moulson then maybe.

But Ullmark would still be there

There's honestly not 1 scenario where I could see DLo being the guy McPhee would take.

bump..no defencemen in and around that 8th pick. whole bunch of them between 16 and 30 though

Dumb isn't worth 8. Let's just draft and develop our own guy
- Sabresfan-365

Maybe we trade down and then trade the lower 1st for him. Personally I like Dumba alot and would consider moving 8 for him if included a bit more on top of it. Just my opinion tho

Do we bump Beaulieu in favor of Dumba top paring?

just hasnt show enough imo to warrant that kind of price tag

Dumba plays on the right side. Beaulieu plays left. Dumba is a superior player in my opinion tho

I am leaning toward this. If we are to pay the top price (our 1st in the mix) I would prefer a proven guy or wait. If we can get Dumba without giving up our first then i'm all for it. It may not be a deep draft year but a top 10 pick still carries a substantial amount of value.

I think he has shown enough flashes. Hes only 22 and imo has big upside

22 years old

I would say that is not bad. Do you really think you can do better than that?

So we give up the farm for Dumba and then pair him with a complete unknown (antipin) or McCabe?

I read something the other day that basically said that he's most likely not a fit at this point. Re-signing him would push someone else into a spot that they don't really fit in.
- HonkFortheGoose

if reinhart and okposo are the rw'ers for the top 2 lines


asplund not signing

that leaves

fasching, bailey, baptiste, girgens, larsson, ennis as options for the bottom 2 lines


but they had bailey working at lw

then again they had nylander playing rw in rochester last year, I think


I still wouldn't want to break up foligno, larsson, gionta if brian takes a 1 year deal for 2 mil

I was shocked to see him exposed. Big upside on him. Liked him since he was drafted

Not sure I understand.

You "give up the farm" for Dumba because he is a good D-man regardless and should be able to play with anyone

me personally? i dunno im a little on the shorter end but i am a good ol ontario boy so ive got that going for me



in all seriousness if you're giving up 8th overall you may as well put together a real package and land a top pair guy. other wise draft and develop a cost controlled player of your own.

What D-man is worth 8 that is available?

Also, Past Risto we are actually worse off on the right side than the left. People are obsessed with finding a partner for Risto. We need to upgrade our entire d-core.

A top pairing guy is going to cost you 8, next years first and Nylander most likely. What top pairing guy is availabe also?

I'd rather give up 8 for Dumba + Min 1st.
