Do we need the islanders to advance to a certain round for a conditional pick? I know we have a 4th that could be a 3rd if the islanders do something lol

If they make the finals the 2022 4th becomes a 3rd in either 2022 or 2023, the Isles can choose which year

And if you don't remember that would also mean our first rounder this year, currently at 20, would then drop to 29-32 if Isles advance. So lets go Boston (swallowed some puke saying that).

Parise scored a goal that reminded me of 10 years ago Parise and then it made me sad.

We'll just become Kraken fans after they move us to Quebec City finally.

Only if they change their name to the Hartford Doom.

4th overall. Now let the debate begin.

Well that was easy enough. Luke is all but ours now

One of Luke or Guenther should be there. I’d be pleased with either.

Yup, i think the top 3 will be Power, Beniers, and Edvinsson. So we get our choice of Hughes or Clarke. I dont see us not taking a D being at 4.

No way they don't take Hughes here and just have the brother duo locked down.

ditto. or Clarke. I think there's too much made of the brother connection. Yes, I was around for the Niedermayer nonsense, but I really don't see it being a .. meh.
I guess it's best not to take the risk of losing Jack. You never know.

But if he's off the board at 4.. I'm not going to cry. Jack can't blame the Devils if that's the case.

Completely unfair to them, but the two in the top 5 that make me the most nervous are Clarke and Edvinsson since Clarke played in Slovakia and no full SHL season to rate Edvinsson. I think scouts probably got a much better feel for the Michigan players, Hughes and Guenther.

What about eklund who played with Holtz?

Clarke has his brother in the NJ system too

- dmarsden2988

I wouldnt hate the pick. Hes my favorite forward after Beniers, him and holtz were very good together. I just dont see how Fitz passes on a D here. I really think Hughes or Clarke will be the pick, and im cool with either because i like both of them over Power

- vlongo4419

Agreed that we go D unless something crazy happens as there doesn't seem to be a huge difference in talent between the forwards and Dmen and we need D

So which bust are we drafting?

Trading the pick for Laine and he won’t score more than 20 goals his entire Devils career.

Just stay away from edvinsson, don't need another over hyped soft swedish defenseman.
