Is this a cryptic way to remind us how we lost our entire defense in 05/06 and that was the only reason you won the cup?

- BINGO!


That offer blows
ZERO chance u get Jack for anything close to that
It’s gonna take your BEST young pieces to even have a shot at him
Secondary pieces won’t cut it

I've seen several early mock drafts with Edvinsson going 2nd to Seattle.

Mocks don’t matter too much anyways....
especially for this particular draft

Picks 2-8 could go in pretty much any order
And there’s always a surprise or 2
Beniers looks to be a top5 pick
But other than that.... it seems wide open

Really? I know he’s rising but the 10 or so I have looked at today literally all have Power #1 and about 7 or 8 of them have Beniers at 2, with 1 having Luke Hughes at 2.

beniers is 2nd in about 75 or more percent of recent mock drafts though so it is trending like he will be second

Maybe they were still willing to move him,
just wouldn’t have been based on the contract then

Maybe you were confusing him with Iafallo?

Yep, was just reading the 4th period and I confused the names. What the other article was about was Toronto trying to trade for Kempe.

Yeah at least.

Beniers is the only guy with any punchers chance at being taken over Power IMO

Anyways....
my point was that i think LA wants to add Eichel to the roster they already have,
and not take away from it
That would allow them to be the most competitive right away

Hockey News draft video went Power, Edvinsson, Eklund, Guenther, Beniers. 2-5 have been all over the place in the mocks I've seen. No real opinion on it. I haven't watched these guys enough.
