I personally think Lundell is going to be a lot better then people give him credit for.

ROR 2.0

He would be my pick at 8 if Rossi doesn’t make it there

When are you starting your coaching career to turn that whole thing around?

I think Ralph is doing OK. But if he wants to keep coaching instead of getting kicked upstairs, he needs to wean himself off 1D Risto. It doesn't take a Gehirngenie to look at history and realize it's a bad idea

And we need to use him like a true number one. 2 years to get acclimated, time for the training wheels to go. Either he is as good as advertised, or we just have a really solid player. And btw, ok with some blunders along the way. TB had them with Hedman, and he turned out ok. But they let him go for it, and that's what we need to do with Dahlin.

Been saying for months they need a 1RhD for Dahlin's partner. They don't have 1 on the roster, nor in development. Go get him and it pushes the others down, and at least 1, likely 2 out the door.
Painfully obvious, yet some want to spend Cap/Salary on 3C and 4C that aren't needed.
Prioritize the investments, 2RW and 1RhD are at the top now....IMO of course.

Unless he makes a big jump defensively next year he will not be #1 in his own end just because he put on weight.

Risto could go in a deal this size if the Jets want him over Montour what center though? I like Laine but no way Cozens.

Agreed.

No Cozens, or in two years we're screwed again up the middle.

I've said it many, many times over the last 2 years as did Homie, they don't want to move Risto however if it's Patrik Laine, you move him and not look back.

Agreed. My point was what Winnipeg would undoubtedly want for Laine.

Like you said, as long as Cozens isn't involved I would give 8 for him.
