If Catton falls out of the top 10 I wouldn't mind trading up. If only we had that 2nd from the Walman trade...
If not, probably Hage or Luchanko for me.

Yeah I can justify it. A future top 4 of him, ASP, Seider and Ed...nasty.
I get you have to take BPA, but I can't say I won't be a bit disappointed if it is Solberg. Opinions on him seem to vary greatly.
Nut Upstrom
You dirty dog!
Don't we usually have one of those 'who do you think we will draft?' polls up? I don't know how to make polls, but I'd vote for one of the Norwegians.
Who I'd like us to draft assuming there are no surprise fallers:
(In order of preference)
Hage
MBN
Solberg
Luchanko
Jiricek

Ducks take Buium and we trade Shai, 15th and a roster player for Gibson and Zegras and that’s my dumb bold prediction
Nut Upstrom
You dirty dog!
He also has Demidov dropping to 9.
Looks like we have to find a way to muscle our way to the 9th spot.

Please no. That’s like the one outcome that would actually piss me off.

If he’s the player available with the highest expected impact on the ice then it’s a solid choice. Most players picked 15 and later score less than 0.5ppg as defensemen and less than 0.7ppg as forwards so you need to consider the other stuff like defensive ability, physicality, intangibles.

I don’t think he is and I just don’t value this type of player this highly.
Those of you that think we should trade a first for Cernak should like this pick.
Again, I just don’t value that type of player this much. I don’t think he has enough of an offensive game to be picked this high.

I’m a huge fan of Cernak but he’s only worth a 2nd or a B prospect like Buium or Wallinder. I’d do that move, but a 1st for a second pair defender in the offseason is crazy talk.
It is a difference to trade a 1st for 27-year-old Cernak at 5,2mil with some mileage or draft a Cernak and enjoy at least 7 years of limited cap hit.

I wouldn’t trade a 1st for Cernak, either. Guy has never players more than 19 minutes a night in his career and gives you nothing on offense.
Ask those that have suggested we do it on here.

If he develops into a player of Cernak’s ability that will be at best like 4 years and there’s sizeable risk he’s never that player.

Isn't Solberg considered one of the most NHL ready players in the draft?
Ed Ned and Leddy
Brokering the Bally Sports + Corncob TV Merger
Yes D+1 and D+2 in Erie and D+3 in Syracuse then in his D+4 he graduated from Syracuse to Tampa.
Maybe so. If Edvinsson didn’t get a real cup of coffee in this org until his D+3 I don’t see Solberg getting involved much faster.

In the sense that he could play bottom pair minutes in the NHL right away, yes. If you want him to be a consistent top 4 with more offense, you'll need to wait and get him in better leagues to help him develop
I'm still hoping for Eiserman.
We need a goal scoring winger, and thats exactly what he is. Draft him, and try to develop the other areas in his game over the next 2 seasons before he makes the NHL.
Who I want in order (I'm assuming there are no drastic falls like Catton)
1-Eiserman
2-Hage
3-Connelly
4-MBN

They are 4 pounds apart despite Solberg being 5 inches shorter and 2-3 years younger.
IE - Solberg is very advanced physically for his age.
Ed Ned and Leddy
Brokering the Bally Sports + Corncob TV Merger
Yeah that’s a key distinction. I’m still deeply suspicious that Yzerman would give him meaningful NHL minutes before his D+4, Seider is the only outlier and I don’t think Solberg is that guy.
RedHawkDown
still trying to trust the yzerplan
For what it's worth, Solberg is much stronger than both Seider and Ed were in their draft years and for several years after, too. Seider had an edge to his game - Solberg is legitimately violent. I would much rather a high-skill forward, but I wouldn't hate the pick. He would be an ideal partner for ASP.
