Like 2021,
We trade back. This time with Chicago for 44 and 55

or Buffalo for 39 + 45 if there's someone they just can't resist at 30

That would indeed be MUCH better

 

[A Star is Burns]

While we do like to trade down in general, I do wonder how much the uncertainty of the draft the year they actually traded out of the first had to do with it. I could see them going back to doing trades for more picks in the 2nd and lower rounds but they might be much more comfortable with what's available in this draft at the end of the 1st this time around.

Boo some more Nashville.

TV announcers: "Listen to these Hawks fans"

Me: all I hear are the massive boos for the Chicago Sexual Assaulters

 

[Brock Anton]

Long suffering fanbase rewarded for their patience!

 

[HisIceness]

Tough choice that was Chicago.

At least Bedard is out West

Them and the Spurs… bullshit

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wow! Instant intrigue!

Fantilli in division.

 

[HisIceness]

Wow, Jackets getting Fantilli

 

[dogbazinho]

I miss Scouch. Anyone have a streamer I can watch to tell me how to feel.

 

[DaveG]

Fantilli in-division... no sir, I don't like it.

 

[HisIceness]

Could Fanatics make a lazier draft hat?

 

[Chan790]

I'm sticking with my prediction that we go slightly off-board to take Kasper Halttunen at #30. I also expect pundits to hate us passing on a falling Gavin Brindley who they see as a "Hurricanes kind of player."

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Fantilli or Carlsson would suck in the division. We were going to get stuck with either one in Columbus

 

[DaveG]

Sharks getting jiggy with it

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

If we somehow land Michkov because other GMs are risk averse chumps I will tattoo every one of the Borg’s faces across my back

Smith is (not) going to Miami

No way he gets past the Caps

 

[Brock Anton]

Between trading Meier to his buddy Fitzgerald and drafting the roommate of his son, Grier might be the new JR.

Simashev seems more likely to fall that Michkov.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Does Smith come with a free bitch slap?

 

[DaveG]

the Michkov slide begins.
