In this draft since there are no sure things and is considered weak, its best just to throw a bunch of crap on the wall and see what sticks.

Feels like an overpay . . .
- John Jaeckel


Agreed depending on the conditions of the 2018 1st and potential salary retention.

Lehtera and potentially 2 firsts? That seems like a lot.
- Quicky72


The only thing I like about either of those clubs is Wayne Simmonds...

...so here's hoping it's a bad deal for both clubs. F' em.

TONS for a guy that isn't very good 5v5 according to some stating that today.

Lehtera was bad last year. Really slowed down and was bad. part of the compensation on this trade is unloading his contract but still.

Saw a tweet about St. Louis wanting the goalie Dallas took. I get trading the pick if your guy gets taken but this looks desperate.

If true, Stans trade screwing the Blues.

Yep. I believe they would have drafted Oettinger if he was there.

Hawks up next!

The broadcasters on NBC don't have him high on their board but here's Wiz's write up on Jason Robertson.

"Big left winger with size, speed, a great shot, and on-ice intelligence. One of his team's leaders. There are thoughts that his game is hampered by his team lacking a top centre to play off of. He still manages to use his quick wrist shot to score on his own, and he is able to create chances for teammates through his stellar work in the attack zone. He Is a powerful skater with good drive, balance, and acceleration. I have heard the constant criticism of his foot speed, but he gets there and is smart enough to do all the work on scoring plays without it being a huge deterent; he lacks a true first step, but no one can convince me his feet hold hIm back in the NHL, and as he improves them, you don't wait for all the rest of the parts of his game to develop...he has lots there already. He has a terrific release and drives into the slot area, protecting the puck before he shoots or passes it."
