I think this is something along the lines of what will happen. There were rumblings before the deadline that Petterson wanted out of Vancouver. Yzerman would be all over that, and Detroit is probably one of the only teams that would be able to give up 2 firsts and good young players (Rasmussen, Wallinder etc). Keller is another name that has popped up here and there the last few years. Devils may need to make a decision on Bratt if they want to keep Meier. There are some good young names that could become available that could really patch some major holes.
Or Kyle Connor.
just random. no idea if he is signing or not, but he was traded and still hasn't signed. Most have signed right after if they intend to stay, no? Horvat etc.
Reinbacher may be BPA at our pick. I wouldn't mind taking him and then a forward with the isles pick. There will be plenty of forwards in the 1st round.
If you are asking me if I would trade both of our 1sts and Buium for a pick that would get me Leo Carlsson… my answer would be easily yes.
Both 1sts, 2 of the 3 2nds, and Soderblom? Im talking that level of package....which I think is arguably worth the 3rd overall to certain teams. I think we'd be harder pressed if it was say Montreal, Chicago, Columbus, or AZ sitting there, but with the right team with the need for completely revamping their system....I think it would be possible. Or am I way out to lunch?
I don't think they do it. I am not calling it a shit stacking offer, but they need elite talent and you are far more likely to get that at 3 or 4 in the draft than to spread and play the field.
<10 games of someone at 18/19 years old is going to determine your draft strategy?
