AlaskanTigersFan Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 I thought we found out that like 90% of the league comes from the first two rounds of draft picks........ If anything trade players+ picks to get future 1st and 2nds.... Just my $0.02. Quote
Shinzaki Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Pronman's 1st mock has us taking C Jack Nesbitt...a 6-4 LH shot with a good two way game. Also mentions LHD Jackson Smith if he's there. Have not seen Nesbitt ranked that highly anywhere else. Quote

If anything trade players+ picks to get future 1st and 2nds.... Just my $0.02. I pulled up the draft from 10 years ago. Only three 3rd rounders have more than 5 NHL career goals. Although that may be a bit of a fluke, as from that same draft eight 5th rounders have more than 5 NHL career goals including 3 with over 100. And that 3rd round yielded a couple of starting goalies in Adin Hill and Sam Montembeault. But yeah, below the 2nd round, chances of even a cup of coffee in the NHL are under 50%.

Wings need to start scouting Nepal, Bolivian mountain regions, and North Korea. They're cold and untapped. Think outside the box, Yzerman. Quote

Agreed, it sucks we have guys like Danielson, Lombardi, Mazur, Plante, Cossa and Augustine in our pipeline! 1 Quote
lordstanley Posted Friday at 06:39 PM Posted Friday at 06:39 PM Rumblings in Vancouver about trading for Larkin. Really just typical blogger stuff without any inside knowledge, just that it "makes sense" to the bloggers because the Canucks need another centre and they think from that one clip about standing pat at the deadline that Larkin wants out of Detroit.

slothfacekilla Posted Friday at 06:51 PM Posted Friday at 06:51 PM Huh seems very random, I thought the Canucks had cap issues but looking at their finances doesn't seem to be the case. 2 minutes ago, buddha said: ok, we'll take quinn hughes. Could be available, in Rutherford's press conference the other day it already sounded like he was resigned to Hughes leaving to play with his brothers in the future! Quote

lordstanley Posted Tuesday at 09:05 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:05 PM So the Wings start 12th and can move up a maximum of 10 spots to #2 overall, correct? Quote
