It is lovely to imagine Euserman with his goal scoring talent on the Pp...BUT
.Hawks cannot get out of their own zone...so 5x5 he is going to be checked and stymied and chasing a lot in our own zone..not getting enough tome in o-zobe..Plus
..like likecBedard,not that great defensively...So he is notca goidcfot for what Hawksxrealky need upnfront...Needs more size plus 2 way pkay and ifbposdoble speed
This no braiberfor forwards=Cenebrini and LINdstron as 1stcandc2nd on a forwardctargetblist
.butbifvee pick 3rd or 4th after lotto...goita take other needs because nothing else at forward fits that high after Celebrini and Lindstrom off the boardvat top of draft ..so otherneddsxas IbsaidxarexRD
..but itwoukd be so hard to deny the size the skating ability and the shutdown ability of Sam Dickinson as a LD..Ifvyou had Dickinson and Vlasic as too 2cLD then add Ethan Del Masyron as 3rd LD...it would give the Hawks at leastx1 side of the D as the brst left sided-corps in the NHL ..D...In that case ,we still havexRDvisdues...namely replacing slow Murphy who also brings no offense,$9.5...who is not worth half that,and the meh others like Zaitsev or Phillips in his wrong side trying to fill a RD role.or Crevier who at bestvis onlyva 3RD ..If we can downscale $9.5 to a 2RD and find a 1RD
In any case even though we
Need either axRD to move $9.5 down to 2RD
..or we at least need a 2RD to bear more effective than a Murphy both in shutdown and I offensive contribution,that matters to wait if Dickinson is deemed too good to not take should ourctop 2 forward targets be already off the board when we pick.
Maybe ...depending on if hecstill is on the board with our TB pick in round one then we take a RD in Carter Yakemchuk (we could also try to movevup to get him a few picks earlier (early teens as opposed to latec teens).
It would be dissaliubtibg not to get sone top forwards i round one...vutcwe have no control on winnibg the #1or#2 spios via lottery..Luck
Will decide that.
Let us hope we at least get the #3 or#4 at worst lotto result.
If Hawks did go Dickinson at #3or#4 and if we coukd not get Yakemchuk witbthe TB pick then if Dean Letourneau is still o the board with that pick,we have to grab hom as aBig C potential 2C solution to contrast with the smallC Bedard is...Nazar would have to pkaycwing.
There is no way we pjayc2 small centers as our #1and#2Centers..
It will be interesting to see how KD decides after he knows where the lottery places us ...we need a lot if holes to fill..
Besides the draft there also is free agency ...both NHL fee agents and college free agents to help fill roles or lackingbs of our current team faster thatcwaiting for draftees to develop,mature and be "ready" to be NHL pros with actual competency.
