After an evening and early morning of research, I’ve decided on Cozens. Case closed.

Make it happen Stan.

Let's hope that NY drafts the Russian winger to pair with their center and then we can snag Kakko.

Never say never and totally depends. Say the Sabres want to offer Dahlin for the 3rd overall...then sure.

I kid. Just don't want to see the situation I described before. Brian McCabe was an ok dman, but then you look at the career of whichever Sedin was picked in the 3rd slot. History tells you that deal was no gouda.

Like I mentioned last night, the clock is ticking for Kane/Toews/Keith. If you can trade the pick for immediate help, especially on the back end, you have to consider it. Adding a legit top pairing D-man now Is more important than adding a potential future Hall of fame winger that might never come to North America.

Went to Draftsite 10 minutes after they got the #3 to see who you slotted there and it was not accessible, lotta traffic man.

But this morning I got on and I couldn't help myself, I first looked to see where you have NTDP centerman John Beecher. Very happy to see you have him at 41 where most everyone else has him about 70. Saw the 18's live twice this yr with Hughes, Turcotte and Zegras dressed and my eyes kept going towards Beecher. ......... To my eye a big, top speed in a few strides, skilled centerman who's floor is really high. ...... Be great if the Hawks find a way to get this kid 2nd or 3rd rd. But:

No doubt to me the Cossack is a beast. Big, fast, plays hungry, plays fast, thinks fast, high compete, hunts pucks, NHL release, can create his own shot, vision/hands to make a play and very very skilled.

I'll let guys like you decide who slots 2-3 but as far as the Hawks using the #3 I can not take even the slightest chance on a player who may or may not report 2-3 yrs from now. Maybe at #20, maybe even at #10 but not at #3 no matter his ceiling. Not with centers available with a better chance than not of being top 3 NHLers available at #3.

I also will let them decide, and believe me I see franchise in Cozens and Dach, who are very different.
Maybe they do stay home.
Saw Cozens up close and he iss gonna grow bigger thicker. He is tough in his attributes to the Dub where he plays.
He has jump, hands and is no consolation prize as are MANY others.

They know get to decide not take what is left.

The site was clogged with traffic and I couldn't even read my redraft thoughts that I added.

If the plan is the long run - then fine - draft accordingly. But is the plan is to try to win another Cup in the next few years while T&K are still playing at a top level - then draft accordingly. My point is they should figure out a plan and then stick with it.

I never understand this mind set, you always have to draft the guy who you think is going go be the best pro period, no matter the development process. Debrincat is a perfect example of that.
