Where does 31 + 58 + pitts 3rd land us? Based on that kings trade

Using the Seravalli translator, this actually means teams are lining up to get him.

 

[LeBrun is a Clown]

Since he pushed the eichel to Anaheim rumor non-stop for months.

To be fair , there was a big push to acquire him . In the end, it would have been too risky, between the ask and injury concerns

Mintyukov buium zellweger
I’d do that comfortably…. Gives us essentially Emery/elick or jiricek

You aren’t going to win an NHL playoff series with that left side

Why not? Colorado just won a cup with toews, Byram, and Jack johnson. Mintyukov is bigger than all three!

OHL teams would physically dominate that left side. You can't have that many soft dmen
If Buim is drafter you would hope they would have a separate deal for Zellweger

Ya if you compliment them nicely, you can win.

Certain posters care far to much about size

Don’t gaslight me...I just watched 2 months of the playoffs and the small offensive D disappeared. Montour example number one. The playoffs is for men not boys.

Ekbald and nurse were pretty bad

How is stating a fact gaslighting? Teams find all sorts of ways to win; what you stated was categorically false.

Don't understand why people think Mintyukov is soft. Did you watch him play? Strong in the corners, hits, and punched a guy out when challenged.

Yes agree more about the other 2 but Mintyukov shouldn't be one the teams tougher dmen that's bad. He's gritty but no Zadorov

Who the fk said Mynty is soft? We will see how he is after his shoulder injury.. Remember fowler after crashing into the boards in his rookie year?

Agree that if Ducks draft Buium probably need to trade Zellweger.

You do know there is a right side of the defense right?

 

[Static]

If we draft buium we will need to grab two big RD. Helleson is big, but not mean.

Well right now you have Gudas as 1 of those guys.... id rather find another big RHD via free agency/trade rather than find 1 with a top3 pick.

Gudas is the only one with some snarl and he's aging and getting broken down. For the LD that soft you need 3 Chara's to compensate

It’s another LD, but I’m really hoping we can snag Eliasson at 31/35.

Colorado 2022: Byram (6-1, 190), Toews (6-1, 190), Girard (5-10, 170)

 

[All Mighty]

This would more or less confirm that Pesce is going to NJ.

Now that's a player I'd like Verbeek to sign.

Now that's a player I'd like Verbeek to sign.

I wanted him last offseason, but he isn't worth the rumored 6x6. Whoever signs him to that will regret it immediately. I think he's likely to be the free agent with the most buyer's remorse in this free agent class.
