I think somebody posted here the other day that the Arizona GM was asked what it'd take to get #3 and he said somebody's first born.

If true that tells me it might be up for trade but he won't be giving it away

You know your draft really well. So I ask of there is a huge difference in value between 4 and 7? Meaning, is there a huge hap between Marner and Strome to the likes of Provorov, Zacha, Barzal, Rantenen, Crouse, and Werenski?

If that's the case, then I stay at 7. I'm not giving up a player and a pick just to land a guy at 4 or 3 who may not end up being as good as the guy at 7.

And you're not the only one who feels that way. The more I ask, the more it seems like it's McDavid and Eichel, then a cluster bomb between picks 3-12. Like there's no real overall concensus on how it is going to pan out.

There is a good amount of talent that to me if you aren't getting one of those 2 you sit tight.

Zacha and laughton could make a good 1-2 punch in the future. I always liked laughton.

opinion on taylor leier?

- manvanfan

On Leier, the jury is still very much out but I think most Philly fans are optimistic that he could be a third liner at some point in the next 2-3 yrs. Could see spot duty on 4th line next year and/or be a call up in case of injury for bottom 6 (unlikely). Probably won't sniff NHL for 2 more years realistically. That said, ask us next season and the answer might be 100% different.

At which pick?
- ob18


haha oh piss off.

the first one.

dont get me wrong, that second one is awesome too.

but regardless of how the chips fall, youre getting a prime prospect at 7.

either a big time forward falls, or yet another great D prospect.

"The best of 3; what's the key?"

You know Doc had a goddamn EUREKA moment last night in the hotel room at 3am. He shot up in bed, wrote that down, and couldn't wait to say it. In fact, he was probably saying that all day to people.

You can always count on someone in the armed forces to not screw up the Anthem like all the pop singers do

I say he plays the whole game and is lauded as a hero for doing so regardless of his C- level performance

its an interesting offseason ahead for both of the PA teams.

i could see both being very active. or both simply waiting in the weeds.

a) why didn't the net come off the morings there? That looked like it hurt....could have lessened the impact, of course.

b) Crawford doing his best Bryz

#7, #29/30 & one of Morin/Sanheim/Laughton maybe even a mid round pick.
- ob18



I can't imagine Hexy wanting to do that

Columbus has to do a trade like this with their young forward assets to get provorov or hanafin. Have to do it
