Probably our cheap rental trade piece since we don’t have a 3rd
We do now. A high 3rd, to boot. Blackhawks traded their 2025 3rd to us for pick 92.

He always winds up a stud in NHL24 franchise mode so clearly draft himLuke Misa is a guy who I might go for in the 4th or 5th round. Undersized but skilled center.

I'm starting to wonder if we have an aversion to drafting power forwards. Who was the last forward we drafted larger than 6'1" 210#?
No. I know. It seems like every time we're in a spot where the easily consensus BPA is a brickhouse, we either go off the board like Nadeau last year or trade down. I'm happy with the Nadeau pick...but this seeming size aversion from a FO that says we need to get bigger and tougher is odd.In the lower rounds, combinations of size and skill are few and far between. It's definitely better IMO to draft skill, shrug your shoulders, and wait.
Luke Misa to Calgary. They're having a nice draft and swinging for skill.

Then, I literally could not remember the last time we drafted a forward larger than 6'1" who was also 210#+. Hence the question.
The best I can figure is the big beefy boys who actually will have a future in the league all get drafted by pick 20 or so. I'm sure there's exceptions but that to me seems to be the case
holy f*** please do more shit like that Jersey, what a terrible trade
Is Kadri a rhs?no, but that means we'll have to really mend relationship with Necas, and probably need to look at doing something like getting Laine out of Columbus now.

Rod would love him almost as much as his son Jordan Staal....just saying
Last few picks make me think that the Borg views smaller players as the “opportunity” this year with other teams focusing on size to mirror Cats.
