If they take the D do they trade POJ?
Keep POJ, trade the pick if it’s another LD.

If we end up with Nylander as a result, that’d be fine.If they take the D do they trade POJ?

Talk about Happy Easter eh!Russia USA U18’s on now. It’s got 7 players in my current top 12.
Caufield has looked very good in my opinion today. Also liking York's gameRussia USA U18’s on now. It’s got 7 players in my current top 12.
I think York can run a PP. I would have a hard time passing on him at 14 simply because he is a LD.Caufield has looked very good in my opinion today. Also liking York's game
I think we overdo the whole "we won't draft him because he's a LHD" thing. If he's there at 14, I think we'll have a serious debate over him. He's a couple years away at best and by the time, the only D on our roster I see us still having are OEL and Chychrun (maybe Bush depending on development and what not). Even then he'll take another year or two to get used to the NHL game. We're talking about 3 or 4 years until we see him and maybe by then Chychrun has started playing RHD.I think York can run a PP.

It helps when one of those lefties is a 30 minute/night mistake free possibly the best all time defender in Lidstrom.I think we overdo the whole "we won't draft him because he's a LHD" thing.

Just for an example, the Detroit Red Wings almost strictly used lefties during the 2000's and they did fairly well. I'm not saying we're going to be the Detroit Red Wings of this generation but I don't think teams worry so much about it.
One of Krebs, Caufield and even Zegras could slip to #14. It's possible Spencer Knight gets picked up as well by Minnesota or Florida. You never know, strange things happen at the draft.Florida, Detroit, Buffalo, Edmonton, Vancouver and Minnesota all could use a defenseman. York's stock improving helps some like Krebs or Caulfield drip.
Realistically the defensemen going in the top 15 are Byram, Soderstrom, and Broberg and York. If three of those 4 are selected before us there is a good chance a really nice forward falls to 14.
What do we have now 7 or 8 goalies under contract? Almost 20% of our contracts.I would NEVER even consider taking a goalie in the first three rounds. I might take Spencer Knight in the 4th round. If we had sixth third rounders, I wouldn’t even think of using any one on Spencer Knight. Not him, not any other goalie prospect in the world.

50 contract slots. With East Coast we have a maximum of 6 places to play them once they are of age to turn pro.I like Prosvetov a lot as a prospect a lot right now. Plus Hill, Kallgren, Madsen and Miska are all still in our system. I kind of like this strategy honestly. Goalies are a crapshoot, so treat it like one. The more the merrier, gotta hit on one eventually

You're forgetting about LTIR, they always seem to have a goalie or two in the trainer's room.50 contract slots. With East Coast we have a maximum of 6 places to play them once they are of age to turn pro.
