Honestly, a part of me is thinking that Blake might be a little gun shy about a big trade after Lombardi made so many and, eventually, ended up on the wrong side more often than not. Hope he isn't missing good deals in search of a slam dunk one...

He’s a smart man if that’s his logic and I agree, just stay the course and keep drafting.

Blake is going to end up on the wrong side regardless if this team doesn’t start sniffing a playoff spot.

That was @Raccoon Jesus reaction when the Kings took Bjornfot over Kaliyev.

I honestly was seeing red, i've NEVER been that mad at a draft pick and that includes Hickey

Obviously this was rectified in day 2 with Kaliyev but jeeeesuuuuus Blake came really close to my permanent shit list in one move

 

[Sybil227]

So now, with the Coyotes back in the 1st round, the only important thing is to find out for sure who they have their heart set on. Then draft that player right before.

[FSL KINGS]

Got my Kahlua & cold brew! Let's get this going!

 

[Sol]

Pls lord trade the 8th for a good young established NHL player. PLS

 

[KingsCourt]

So what are we expecting? Pick or trade?

I'm thinking pick... A deal would have been done by now

 

[Ollie Weeks]

If these are the prices, stay away and just make your pick. See what happens during day 2 of the draft and free agency.

 

[Cook24]

Here we goooo

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I really hope this is the last draft done remotely. Miss the excitement of seeing GMs talking on the draft floor.

 

[DAkings20]

Bucci talking hockey just seems right

Unless they are Buchnevich prices! Would have done that one in a heartbeat.

 

[ru4reals]

Get this thing started already damn. Sucks they're doing another virtual draft again. More and more I think about it I think Blake and company will go with a Goalie.

 

[No Name The Nameless]

So what are we expecting? Pick or trade?

AT this point, it's looking like pick
