He's skilled enough to play with the smooth guys, plays a grinders game to match up with the balls to the wall line drivers who just want to create havoc Lol I love Nico so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I will say that guys like Raymond, perfetti, Jarvis... Right now I'd probably prefer them on Nicos wing because he can help them from getting caved in. Maybe put them with another big, skilled wing too. You don't have to be an elite skater with Nico either. With Jack, it's a trickier fit. Have to skate, have to have good hands, and given Jack is already small and can get caved, it has to be someone who can hold ground and win at the boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want him but he's ideal next to 86. Mercer as well. If we can land Rossi (w/ Nico), Mercer (w/ Jack) and Perreault/Gunler (w/ Nico), it's a great 1st round. Figure out Jack's LW later.

beekay414 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) I doubt he'd fall to Carolina's pick but Ty Smilanic would be a perfect compliment to Jack on the LW. Luke Tuch with later pick(s). Edited September 6, 2020 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to protect Jack completely and then try to find Nico's RW later? I mean, I know you don't approach drafts like that, with specifics in mind, but it's got to be in the back of their minds.

I don't think Mercer will be there, so really just thinking of holloway as the most likely person to be there who would also be a great fit. If Mercer is there, I'd go him before holloway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what we did at 7, who's there on defense at 20. That is where I would have some interest in Guhle, and Lapierre is likely to be the highest rated player I would have at that point I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't go off the board lol. Too much talent to do that this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His game reminds me of Mark Stone coming out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Saint Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Matt Dumba might be available, wouldn't be the worst addition to your blueline depending on the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right on that edge for me, but I would expect a team like Winnipeg to be in on that for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 The more I think about it I the more I think we are completely out on any big name trade targets or free agency moves. I think the moves are going to be smaller and cheaper. Guys with cap hits larger than salaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys with cap hits larger than salaries We don't really have the pieces to go get big name targets via trade and our time line doesn't really fit with going out and spending cap space on the available veterans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
