I am real scared

((hug))

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

You just dont build a great team with a bunch of newhooks...

If you meant another player who plyas like Newhook I agree. They need power forwards and goal scores (like Caufield) more.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Of course, but in the same sense, isn't 53+26 worth about the same ?

I was going to meniton Emery... it would be such a Habs move to grab him there.

I have Washington reaching for him once Jiricek and Solberg are off the board, they're in win-now mode and with his athleticism and defense he's pretty close to NHL ready. Wouldn't be shocked if they rush him in after 1 year.

No but with Verhaeghe, Bennett, Rodrigues, Luostarinen apparently you can

 

[sampollock]

KH save something for the draft!! lol trades I mean

 

[Hacketts]

good news boys, I just bought celebratory or sadness brownies depending on tonights events.

 

[sampollock]

I need a drink asap

 

[Deebs]

Does #5 and #21 get us to #3 overall and is it worth it? Two excellent players would be coming our way with those picks

 

[Gustave]

Imagine a Dickinson + Catton haul.

 

[LaP]

No but with Verhaeghe, Bennett, Rodrigues, Luostarinen apparently you can

Not if you don't have Barkov and MT.

We don't have Barkov and MT yet. I don't think moving for another Newhook at this point would be wise.

Also Sam Reinhart is a 2nd overall pick. His ceiling was always higher than Newhook by a good margin.

 

[JoelWarlord]

Are we thinking this might be for Greentree/Boisvert or something? Eiserman won't drop that far and I don't really buy the idea that we're going to be trading up again to the top 10 like Dreger floated, every year they float those kinds of rumours and they never happen

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Does #5 and #21 get us to #3 overall and is it worth it?

depends if the player they want at 3 will be there at 5

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Does #5 and #21 get us to #3 overall and is it worth it?

If it's the difference between Demidov and Lindstrom I personally feel it would be worth it, assuming no one drops like crazy like Catton.

 

[sampollock]

no dont think that

keep 5. trade 21 or draft 21 and get 2 guys

 

[KevSkillz4]

We trust you Kent!!

Let's cooking that day!!

 

[Vachon23]

Getting asset to get Macgroarty

 

[sampollock]

depends if the player they want at 3 will be there at 5

if they did that and pick a D man.. this board will explode

 

[Rozz]

I love that Hughes ain't scare to make moves... I have full faith in him!

..whatever he does, and who ever he's targeting... just get us an offensive superstar some how!!!

 

[Habano]

Who would take Buium over Levshunov?

I would, Buium's skillset is crazy.

 

[Guy Larose]

Coming out of the draft with Demi and McG

 

[Beaker]

Getting asset to get Macgroarty

I think so too

 

[Deebs]

no dont think that

keep 5. trade 21 or draft 21 and get 2 guys

Who can we add to the #21 to get into the top 10? Hutson? Come out with Demidov and Dickinson? Some Double D's action

 

[Trabdy2]

For me, there's a "tier drop" in talent around the mid 20's, so I think this might give us a better chance at getting a player I like more than at 26.

From Ritchie, Artamonov, Beaudoin, Vanacker range in the mid to high 20's.
to the Hage, Chernyshov, Luchanko, and Boisvert in high teens/low 20's

I like the bottom group a lot better than the top group, and I'm willing to pay the 57th overall for it. Of course, we might take a D or trade this pick too.

 

[sampollock]

trades are hard --MB the clown

Didnt Hughes trade up for 13 th overall in 2022?.....Him trying again would not be surprising
