Boo.

Any thoughts from you gents on Alex Turcotte if he slides to #8?

Oilers won't have the pick come the draft. It has been arranged.

I was hesitant on him to start due to some descriptions I had read, but after reading some more I'm not as hesitant. His injury troubles are noteworthy enough that I might be swayed toward Krebs.

Krebs or bust.

This is also acceptable. For the right player.

I think it was Krebs that people were saying has motivational issues.

Sam Cosentino says he has "plus plus character" and thesportingnews compares him to Jonathan Toews. If there are motivational issues it hasn't affected his character rating by some of the best guys to rank these kids.

You're thinking of Kaliyev. Krebs is noted for being the hardest worker with the most "motor" in the draft. The kind of guy you win with.

Krebs is my likely preference but if Cozens or Byram drop, then they take over. Dach reminds of Spezza, but the competitive fire doesn't seem to be there enough.

I cant see LA passing on Byram nor the Wings on Cozens. As for the Oilers, I want a winger. Krebs was a LW 2 years ago and converted to C this year. I want Krebs or Boldy.

Bouchard assigned to the Condors and Maxsimov might not be far behind

Cozens seems to project better as a winger than a C according to a number of scouts.

Thank (frank) 😅

"As per Bob Mckenzie:

Curious to see what, if any, the ripple effect is in TB. I believe TB AGM Pat Verbeek’s contract expires at end of this season and while Verbeek interviewed for GM job in EDM and wants to be a GM, he may be in a position to join Yzerman in DET. Just speculation, for now anyway."

Also good news!

Would be great either way.

I would love if we could finally spread some of that managerial wealth around! I get this bad feeling that no matter who they hire, they're gonna be a failure, too. Given that they seem unprepared to give the new GM free reign, I can't shake that feeling.

Maybe that’s why they haven’t gotten a GM yet either....I imagine anyone interviewing for the job is going to ask how much freedom do they have and maybe they don’t like what they are hearing
