Really disappointed that he never got it together, but that's a fine deal for sure. I'll take the slightly older right handed center. Hayden's probably our 4th line RW which let's Bastian and Anderson to marinate down in Bingo until they are ready for an every day role. It's a good trade. Hayden brings us some size and grit to that line. Coleman is either 3rd line RW or 4th line C depending on what we do with Zacha (2nd line LW or 3rd line C).

The 4th line make up is going to be really, really interesting if you think about it. We could go full on grit and grind mode (something like Zacha / Bastian / Hayden / etc etc etc), or we could actually try and make it somewhat skillful with like Boqvist (Let's say he's good enough to make the roster, but not good enough to feel comfortable putting in top 6 minutes) / Anderson / Zacha or something like that.

Yeah, could fluctuate based on matchup too. Hayden is easy scratch material too. He's rosterable but he's not a must play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Defensive defenseman with 61. I'm a fan. He's a bruiser apparently. Something we desperately need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't love it. I think he's definitely a guy that would have been available later. I was kind of expecting us to go upside like you said. Kind of whatever though. We have a ton of picks available in round 3 with some decent talent on the board. I just think that Okhotyuk was probably more like a 4th rounder.

But our drafting has been on point under Shero in my opinion, so we will see what shakes out. They obviously have done more looks on the kid then I have. I couldn't even find video or anything, so it's not like Ive actually done research lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just can't be Santini bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I'm really excited to see the team we put out there next year. I have to imagine that 9 million from Subban probably puts us out of the running for any real free agent acquisition in the top 6 forward department. I'm wondering if that trade down from 55 is us trying to stockpile for the run on an rfa from a cap strapped team for prospects though. You can get a top 6 forward that way if we are so inclined. Or we are really, really high on Boqvist (which could be the case). I could see Hall - Nico - Bratt / Boqvist - Hughes - Palms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 That trade for Subban really reminds me of the Kovy trade we made. That deal was essentially a pick and spare parts. Kind of remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
