Isn't he Caps 5th rounder from 2016? If they had any cap room trade them a vet but would you trade a comparable prospect like Lockwood?

Saying we need D is saying its an obvious priority. They don’t grow on trees & if we don’t draft them we don’t get them.

True. Seems you were boxed into a top 5 and BPA debate. So adding to that I'd say in 2018 see 3 forwards and 2 D in top 5; but only 1 BPA among them at this point in Dahlin.

Wow. Just saw that kadri pulled our a rat sized chunk of joe thortons beard in a fight. Kadri is such a little wiener

Now he has a little brother.

Which I've said we should do, I believe I said "i hope we draft 2 out of the first three rounds for the next two years". In this case, I'm talking about trading for Duclair which really has nothing to do with drafting d. We need scoring just as bad and he is a proven scorer who is available for trade. Are there some young d available for trade? I'd be into that, but don't know of any.

U don’t find top 2 D in the later rounds unless lucky. Not a good bet

Impressive powerplay

Canada killing it with speed and skill.

Czechs not looking so good.

Gadjovich again doing a nice job heading to the net on that goal.

Batherson sure knows how to score and Kyrou sure has a ton of skill.

Is that the new model Van should follow?

I think that is what Benning says at the 1:46 Mark.

Yup. I hope he knows Van still plays in the Pacific division throughout the year. Speed and skill isn't what the Pacific is known for.

I agree, but most of these kids have decent size as well.

Doesn't appear to be anything wrong with Gadjovich skating ability,

Seems the speed part is changing to catch up with rest of NHL. Look at Vegas success and how they say they drafted for speed.

Looks like everyone must have tired themselves out cheering for the Swedes today.

Horvat, Boeser, Petersson (sp?)

Very nice

Feeling conflicted...do I cheer for our 2017 first pick (Pettersson) and our 2018 first pick (Dahlin!), or Team Canada? Tough call!

My best case: Canada by 1 with Gads scoring the winner and Pettersson awarded player of the game.
