Can sign UFA’s for bottom 6 roles. Speed & skill is todays game.

Beating opponents into submission wins hockey games not outscoring the other team.

Good thing we have the size to intimidate the other teams and the new swedish meatball can really bust out the tight pant style with Petey. The 14 year Olds are going to go wild with all the blue steel looks our top lines will have. Hopefully Daniel will show the guy how to take a good punch in the head when it matters. And Henrik will help him not shoot even though that is his current strength.

I'd prefer 1st round selections to be skilled and fast, than just be tall. Drafting for muscle gets you michael rassmussen more than it ever gets you tom wilson.

smart bet, but Canucks and Swedes is a bit stalker creepy. Maybe Sweden should take out a restraining order against the Canucks.

Team has been doing the Swedish thing for decades. Keep doing the same thing over and over

The knuckle draggers can be picked in later rounds.
Goals win games...

You must have been a huge fan of the Virtanen selection.

The pick was going to be controversial by several no matter who it was. I can understand both sides of “for and against”

I’m just bustin balls,

15oa pick was always going to draw mixed reviews. The kid will have time to marinade in the SEL & come over ready to prove it in the NHL.

Why not just trade another winger for an NHL proven defender?
- manvanfan

I just believe in a team that is a defense factory for their own roster and as trade chips since there a so valuable. Listen to these guys gush over Anaheim's prospects and what do they say C and D. Building from the wings is not the best way to build an
organization IMO

You need to build a stable of D and trade them for wingers when you are ready to compete. Trying to trade a lower value position for higher value one seems counter productive. Draft the higher value position to start with and get better wingers.

Yes I agree but the D left were a reach imo. I trade down if doing what you suggest. That said I gotta believe something big is still coming.

Arizona just picked two great prospects, and they’ve got one more pick, Donna’s team is building the right way

Not ours. I have nothing against Swedes. Great people and they are some of the all time greats. I just want some defense already. We are building our team backwards IMO. Goaltender out to D then up the middle.

A winger getting you a proven bottom pair, maybe.
