No one should be an untouchable if the right trade or player is being offered.

I agree a trade involving Chucky has to be to fill a need. Same with Patches. We can't toss away assets like we did with Sergachev without filling a hole or getting a prospect to build the foundation

There is no guaranteed top #1C in this draft. So I disagree about trading any roster player. Patch or Petry, yes. No way I would trade Weber for Kotkaniemi. Maybe 12 months after the draft once you see what he does at age 18 or 19 But it would be a package deal. They are no MacKinnon

And once you see what he does, hes not getting traded... you have to give to get
I am absolutely counting on it.
Of course then I will anguish about it for years as will we all, about how we had a top 6C, but just wouldn't play him there. Houle was a terrible GM and remembered as such, if MB keeps screwing it up he will be the most hated GM in our history. Houle was not competent, a big part of MBs problem is his personality (( disorder) ie ego ).
eloel. Didn't this dude have a former scout on his show pumping Kotkaniemi's tires not too long ago?

I dont know, Chainey (sp?) Was with him and he didnt give any opinion on anyone.
Huh. Might've been someone else. I know he usually has Brunet come on, he ain't bad.

Tkachuk would look great on Pittsburgh, Tampa and other great offensive teama

If he's still there we should take him with one of our 4ths. If Everett makes the Memorial Cup and he continues his great performance I'd even be in favour of using our 3rd on him.

Tkachuk is perfect for Edmonton IMO. Its great for tickets, its great for McD/Drai, and adresses a really important need for them.

I'm pretty sure Bettman won't permit it. He'll have you escorted out of the draft hall.

Agreed, but they really need wingers to compete, like right now. Tkachuk is a perfect candidate for them.

You can lick opposing players though. That's always an option.No cart wheels league:
Short of getting a 1C, he is without a doubt my favorite going in the 2019 draft. Insanely dynamic.
Actually think he could make the transition to C, he already controls the ice like one and is a force along the boards.
One doesn't have to be a center to control the ice and drive play. That's a misconception.

I've never heard someone say those two must go together.
It helps though, since you're involved in the play more as a C.

Big fan of Kakko too and if he does make the switch to C I could see him challenge for the top spot, and thats no slight to Hughes.

3rd overall 2019 would have been so much better than 3rd overall this year. Hopefully, we can get another high pick next year.

No they do not, I think most people are quite aware of that. I.E. Kucherov.
I would have no issue drafting him as a winger. Kakko has nonetheless shown alot of features in my opinion that could potentially help him make that transition should the team that picks him decide to try it.
