Not keen on trusting this organization with developing a Russian.

Holland’s history isn’t so bad with them but yes the Oilers have not had a good track record with them obviously.....I just hope they go forward with this pick

If Kreider is available like reported I want us going after him hard.
Yamamoto + Bear/Lagesson + 2019 2nd to start with.

I would love Kreider and would love him even more if he was willing to sign an extension

I was reading somewhere that given the return on a trade that Nashville was willing to eat up as much as 3 mil per season on PK.....they really must want to be rid of that contract

His recent history with Russians includes the bad Svechnikov, a 7th round pick in 2014 and Alexey Marchenko in 2011. Those are all the Russians he's picked over the last 8 years. Before that, the last Russian he drafted was Sergey Kolosov in the 5th round of 2004.

I don't buy that he's all that keen on drafting Russians, either.

I’m js I wouldn’t be surprised if he did draft the kid is all....I really didn’t think he would draft defence in the 1st round either and it happened....im just bracing myself for anything today which hopefully includes a trade

I would put thought into Nuge in a deal that brought us Subban. Something around Subban (3mil retained) for Nuge? Don't know how to value Subban; maybe with Turris and Russell thrown on respectively?

Fair. I'm really hoping for a Robertson and Keppen 2nd and 3rd I could appreciate Fagemo, too.

Leafs just opened up cap space by sending Marleau and a 2020 1st to the Canes

I don’t know either about PK even if it’s a cap hit of 6 mil....I mean if PK can revert back to Norris winning PK then our blueline issues are solved for offence

I’m good with those guys as well....unless he goes way off the board I don’t think I’ll be disappointed with our 2nd round selection

Friedman is now saying that Marleau will be bought out by the Canes....they got a conditional 1st out of it in a better and deeper draft next year....well done Canes

LeBrun saying PK has been traded but doesn’t know to who yet

New Jersey for Santini, a prospect and two picks. No money retained by Nashville made that possible.
