The risk with Iginla is getting Brendan Gallagher while the others become 80 point players. You’ll never be mad, just slightly disappointed.They all seem to have some risk except for Iginla.

Is that a hypotetical or did they say that?Utah willing to move the 6OA
What would you offer?
Chychrun is vastly overratedGuhle? No team is offering a Top 10 pick for him. They can just trade it for Chychrun.
Kaiden Guhle
Then we can get out of the draft with Buium(a better LD than Guhle) and Iginla/Sennecke/Catton.
I think it would be a massive organisational leap up front.
What would you offer ReHabs?

Yes, going two-for in 5 and 6 makes me feel giddy. If Guhle is enough, then so be it, but if they need to squeeze us for Guhle+Farrell+Kidney+Norlinder… I’d dry my tears and execute the trade all the same.I think it would be a massive organisational leap up front.
What would you offer ReHabs?
I don't know about that.. last year there was a clear need and a potential fit to plug that need (this isn't a MM vs. Reinbacher thread or anything like that so let's not rehash it) so I think that's where a lot of vitriol came from. I didn't like the pick but I certainly didn't go on social media lambasting anyone/David Reinbacher or his family (who does that though, seriously?).With all this passion over the number 5 pick something tells me whomever we get is in for a rough ride from some of you. Be kind to our newest hab.

Saw it as a headline just nowIs that a hypotetical or did they say that?
MHL teams play 52 games a season which isn't that much different from the OHL. Demidov only played 30 because he spent some time in the KHL, VHL, and was injured for part of the season.Is it a worry that in the MHL he plays way fewer games then in the OHL or does the points speak for themselves .
18-year-old Ivan Demidov has been nothing short of sensational in the MHL this year, racking up an impressive total of 23 goals and 37 assists (60 points) in just 30 games. He was also very productive in the playoffs, with 28 points, including 11 goals, in 17 games.
If Utah trades that pick it`s for an established physical D. Wouldn`t be too surprised to see Edmonton in that mix around Nurse+.
Nurse +McDavid might get it done
Demidov is not small lolDemidov is a small injured Russian with no record either internationally (not his fault), or professionally (somewhat his fault). The profile caries some risk.
I don't know how you could possibly come to this conclusion after having watched himMore like P Kane to me. Demidov has to improve his one timer to be as effective as Kucherov. How many goals does Kucherov score with that deadly and accurate one timer? I don't think Demidov's shot is that accurate yet and I'm not talking about the one timer. He's shooting right side a lot and scoring a lot but I like Iggy's shot more. He's picking all different areas of the net. Iggy doesn't have a good one timer either though. It's difficult to develop at that high level. Game happens so fast.
We shouldn't be tied to comparing Demidov to another Russian. If that is the requirement, I would pick Datsyuk. The interesting part to the Russian forward stars is I will say 75% of them are north of 6'-0" and 200 lbs. Then you got guys like Kucherov and Datsyuk who are on the lighter side. So basically, Demidov falls in that 25% lighter but skilled/skater type.
So yeah, P Kane or Datysuk are my ceiling comparables
Long few weeks coming. This draft has me both nervous and excited. We need to hit with this pick.
Is that a hypotetical or did they say that?
I don’t see anyone we’re willing to get rid of that bags us any of those picksiirc 6, 10 and 11ov are all on the market for win-now trades
Nurse at $9.25M for another 5 years is not a good thing. Not sure how or why teams would take that contract on. IMO of courseHaha, I think more teams would want Nurse than you think. Particularly teams struggling to find this type of guy back there in the now.. It`s not that he`s great, it`s more than his archetype/age group mix is very rare right now.
Funny because if you replace Barkocs with Suzuki I'd completely agree. Nick is an amazing player that is mostly dragged down by terrible team around him.
We were terrible from the late 90s to the 2000s. So yeah, they were darker days.There were darker days before Berg.
MT... well obviously Price was a factor, but he won a lot of games.
He sold high on Subban, acquired a cornerstone player in #14, and made the right pick at #3..at the time.
He shafted Markov.
They call him BargainBin for a reason... never wanted to pay full for Price.
He had his faults forsure, but I'll take him over Pierre Gauthier everyday of the week.
Feels like the local media has been pretty universal in hammering home the notion that we're absolutely picking a forward this time, so I do expect a bit of a backlash if we go with a Dman again. It probably won't be red hot, but there's definitely going to be some heat if they go that way.I don't know about that.. last year there was a clear need and a potential fit to plug that need (this isn't a MM vs. Reinbacher thread or anything like that so let's not rehash it) so I think that's where a lot of vitriol came from. I didn't like the pick but I certainly didn't go on social media lambasting anyone/David Reinbacher or his family (who does that though, seriously?).
This year there's really no consensus so I don't see it being as strong or hateful. I could be wrong obviously and maybe it's worse since there's so many choices that you're bound to get people who hate the pick but.. even as a "Forward at all costs" kind of poster, I can still see the good side in drafting any of the top D as well and actually really like some of them.
We'll see I guess.
