At 2 years and a low cost, I think the risk would be right to take a shot on him As I suggested on HF, Vrana and Kempny for #20 is something I'd do as well.

beekay414 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I would actually consider doing both trades and then shipping Butcher out at 50% retained for a draft pick in either 2020 or 2021. Vrana and Kempny for #20 Sergachev for #7 and Walsh Sign Carson Soucy Bratt-Hischier-Palmieri Vrana-Hughes-Gusev (though I don't know how badly that line would would get it's **** pushed in on defense) Sergachev-Severson Soucy-Subban Kempny-Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really good on the Raymond pick but I'm so-so on the Schneider and Zary picks as I feel like shooting the moon at 7 and then playing it safe at 18 and 20 is backassward and that's just what we'd be doing if the board fell that way. I'd be okay with it, honestly, because we're getting bonafide top 6 and top 4 NHLers, which is hard to do as it is, but I want to shoot the moon with guys like Perreault. EDIT - And we'd still have nothing in the system for RW if we did that as Raymond is a LW and Zary is a C/LW. That's why I'd take Perreault over Zary even if Zary is far more certain than Perreault to make the league.

beekay414 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) If the board fell the way Pronman's did, this is what I would do; 1.7 - Lucas Raymond | LW | Frolunda (SHL) 1.18 - Braden Schneider | RHD | Brandon (WHL) - I can live with it even if I'd rather just take 3 forwards in the 1st 1.20 - Jacob Perreault | RW | Sarnia (OHL) 3.84 - Tristen Robins | C | Saskatoon (WHL) 4.99 - Michael Benning | RHD | Sherwood Park (AJHL) 4.120 - Dylan Garand | G | Kamloops (WHL) 5.130 - Dmitri Rashevsky | W | MHK Dynamo (MHL) 6.161 - Veeti Miettinen | RW | Espoo (Jr A Liiga) 7.192 - Viktor Persson | RHD | Brynas (J20 SuperElit) Edited October 1, 2020 by beekay414 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't like Zary...I feel like I'm in the minority there. The guys like Pronman and Wheeler seem to love him. And If we miss on Sanderson / Drysdale at the top of the round, i'm in favor of just punting defense until the middle rounds, though I know that is unlikely.

If we can do what I put up above your post, I'd be pretty damn happy with how the draft went. EDIT - And yes, I did pillage STI's big board for the 5th through 7th round picks lol Edited October 1, 2020 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's almost an afterthought for a lot of people. I legitimately think that it's due in part to sti not talking about him. Not joking. He likes Raymond, but he's always been high on the likes of Sanderson and Rossi, and as such, the board has gotten weirdly amped about them over time.

I feel like you and I are the only reasonable people that bring up other prospects and latch on to them. Like, I'm the one that's 1000% pushing the Perreault and Greig narrative and it's a hill I'm going to literally die on once they become members of any of the metro teams behind us. It's going to kill me to see those two play elsewhere and with my luck it'll be on the Rangers and Flyers.

The New Jersey Devils have signed LW Gunnarwolfe Fontaine to an entry-level contract and have assigned him to the Adirondack Thunder of the ECHL lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
