i love how picking 6th is lucking out and not 1-3


Also I'm curious who everyone would take at 3?

- neem55

26th overall and climbing!



On pace to pick 10th!

They need him to sell hope for next year

Team still sucks with EP/Boeser/Bo

- Nucker101


No way. That's our Lemieux, Jagr, and Francis you're talking about.

Actually, I don't think they won a cup together. Oh poop.

6th last is the realistic goal, basically guarantees a top 8 pick

These guys aren’t why the team still sucks...

Hopefully the rebuild starts next year, and in 4 or 5 years we’ll only be 4 or 5 years away

That's what keeps me interested.

Next year's slogan should be "Finally Rebuilding!" or "We're Building on Hope!"

EDM finished 23rd overall last year and picked 10th.

I'm expecting something similar.

That gives them a chance to move up in the lottery, to 7th instead of normally moving down to 7th.

If I was to describe JB's work to date, I would say he's drafted well and done some other stuff.

I highly doubt Woo makes the team as a 19 year old. Back to MJ for another year I think.
- 1970vintage

I think he's got a better shot than Byram, personally.

I think it will be "Bubble Team Baby", but I'm a little less negative than some when it comes to next year.

Byram is hard to figure where he goes. I’m seeing a few teams in the top 4 going BPA & probably Philly going for top F available. Byram i think goes 4-6th.
- Nighthawk


He reminds me too much of another left D for the Giants, Kevin Connauton. Similar stats albeit his draft year +1

Flagging people probably gives you a positive outlook in life.

I like Boldy, Zegras, Krebs, Turcotte and Seider and dont care which spot they go in.

Kakko is number 1 for me.

I don't flag people often, but when I do they deserve it. But thanks for your insight on positive outlooks, you seem to be an expert and I always appreciate your wisdom.

I really like both Kakko and Hughes, very different player types. I like Kakko, he kind of reminds me of Rantanen a bit. I like Hughes though, similar to his brother but a bit better at shooting. Either would be a huge, huge add for us. I do agree/think Kakko could end up better.

Connauton doesn't have the skating ability/IQ that Byram does IMO, not even close. Byram is already superior to him in both of those respects.

Kids who dominate men's leagues in Europe push the needle for me, especially scorers.

I really like him, can rip it decently but like I said I think his biggest thing is that Rantanen-like ability to power forward possession. Would be a pretty great wing for EP or Bo, Boeser would be in tough to stay on the first line longterm. I really do like everything I've seen from Hughes though and if he converts to wing I think he also brings some special qualities. Both would be grand salami's imo. I trust JB at this point , happy with either and going Switzerland this year.

Ever the Neutral party in all historical scenarios, they never take sides. I'm neutral on Hughes and Kakko, is what I'm saying. I like them both a lot.
