I don't think you can blame them for missing out on Cirelli or Kaprizov, especially since a lot of people liked the Beaudin pick. Aho was a bigger miss, but Roy was still heavily influencing draft choices at the time and there is no way he was down picking a player like Aho. IIRC a lot of people really liked the trade as well to move down since we only dropped 8 spots and gained a 2nd + 6th.

Gross. Sean Monahan is about as useful in the playoffs as expired smelling salts.

This could even work similar to the top line where Reinhart is officially the RW but plays a similar role to Landy on the top line in regards to centering, allowing Newhook to be sheltered somewhat.
Zach Hyman could be a similar play if the trade cost gets too much, if he makes it to free agency.

Hyman would be awesome, right shot and plays essentially like a rich man's version of Calvert. I doubt TO is going to let him go.
On a team that has a lot of guys who aren't great defensively, Hyman's value is immeasurable. They'll pay him whatever he wants.
Ya I agree, it would most likely take some luck for Reinhart to end up an Avs (i.e. Buffalo liking an expendable asset like Graves, Compher, or Francouz) or Reinhart refusing to sign a long-extension with most teams.
I guess it depends on what Buffalo is looking for. I don't know if the Avs could throw together a couple prospects and a first rounder to make it work, or maybe even a decent (but not cheap) roster player. That feels more like quantity over quality though.
Reinhart would be a great add, but I don't think he'll come cheap at all. THEN, they gotta sign him.

Oh, definitely. I'd love him here though, he's got a fantastic motor and would fit in so well on this team. I'd feel a lot more confident with Newhook as a 2C if he was flanked by Hyman and Bura.
He wasn't that good at the time. There were 135 players picked before him and every NHL team passed on him multiple times, Minnesota got lucky.
Boikov was in the Q, but the Kaprizov miss was as much about people thinking he'd never come over as much as anything. He was thought of as a 2nd-3rd round talent that would never come over due to his situation in Russia. He was very highly thought of there and right after his draft, he signed a 3 year deal (most thought it would be 5++ like a certain top Russian prospect coming up). Teams get gunshy when they don't think they can sign Russians... even though they almost always come over if they are good enough. And in truth he was a top 10 level talent.
With the rumors Rhino wants to play on the west coast he might be willing to extend with Wankouver. I suppose he could be the back option for Vegs if they got out bid on Eichel.
Were I Adams some one year deals and flipping them to a 3rd team at 50% retention would be a good way to bank some futures. Say Beagle as a throw in from Van and then 50% back to the Caps.
Oh, Jesus, if they could center a deal around Graves then it should be done five minutes ago. Do it!!!

I’m not saying he’d be the centerpiece
but he’d be someone the Sabres would definitely be interested acquiring in a deal.Graves + Kadri. Maybe a slight overpayment on our side, but it would make a lot of sense for both teamsI’m not saying he’d be the centerpiece

Top 4ish LHD signed for 2 extra seasons and 2nd line Center who can actually re-sign with the team makes no sense? OK...
