I will be very happy if they take one of the two Swedes
PJ Axelsson will be telling everyone make sure the coffee lids are secure
I love they are at Warrior office and get get serious
I would love to see a running undated first 7 picks of comments etc
This would be fantastic if they just do this so we can watch later - bleep out the F bombs if have to be I would be neat to see how they react in real time as players are selected

I never said Robertson was close to being Pastrnak. I simply pointed out that he's about as physical as Pastrnak.
As for why Dallas would move Robertson.....they need cap space. Dallas as a project $4.9 million in cap space this off-season with 7 roster spots to fill. Their current FA's including but not limited to:
Benn
Duchene
Granlund
Bourque
Cici
Lundqvist
And Im sure they'd like to try and improve their roster. Robertson has 1yr left before he's an RFA and he'll be looking for a big pay day. They can move Robertson and add $7.75 million in cap space (assume they don't take a contract back). And because of how good Robertson is, they can net a nice package for him.

Changing in the sense that you see it shifting to more physical vs more skill?

A lot more to hockey than just production. Robertson is usually pretty much invisible all game unless he is shooting the puck. Playing with the puck on your stick is only 5% of the game, it’s how good you are at the other 95% that matters most.

Neither Marchand or Pastrnak are speedsters yet both are thriving in today’s NHL. Some guys just know where to be and how to score. Similar to Mark Recchi in his later years. Robertson certainly knows how to score goals.

The list of players I’d trade the 7th overall for is short. I’m hoping Frondell falls to Boston
Yes, he will be looking for a nice pay day and what do you believe that to be, I will tell you what ever that is it not good for the Bruins.
They may not have elite speed, but both are more than fast enough to keep up. Robertson seems a level or two below them

I haven't watched him enough to fully understand, but sounds like his skating isn't up to snuff? So as the game gets faster he will be left behind? Is that what you mean?

Could McQueen be that player, big right shot center.

Partially yes. And the IQ isn't high enough to make up for it. Again, just my opinion. I'm sure many won't agree with me and that's fine. Healthy disagreements are helpful.

-Growing feeling we will regret not taking McQueen.
-Love Aitcheson and Carbonneau in mid first. Spence, Nesbitt, Horcoff, Amico, West, Behm after that in late first to mid 2nd. I think there’s a lot of value in these names and many don’t cost you Zacha to get you there.
-What is Poitras worth in picks alone? If you traded a future first (Toronto or Florida) with him, how far could you move up this year to speed the retool along? Poitras is doing really well vs his draft class, and would be a late 1st in a redraft at the very least. Would rather have more picks now that are ready in 3-4 years than more picks in 2-3 years that aren’t ready for 5-7 years. Him in a deal for Howard is also interesting to me. If you think Poitras is road locked or redundant based on what you have with Minten and Locmelis behind Lindholm, Zacha, Mittelstadt, then take advantage now. I personally wouldn’t blink twice is he was scoring 50 points at 24yo in the NHL, and would rather move Mittelstadt.
- Same question for Mittelstadt, who I thinkhas positive, not negative, value to a handful of teams and is even more valuable if you retain 1-1.5million. Some on here think you’ll have to pay to get rid of him, which I get but will disagree with in certain cases. Many are dying for a middle 6 guy, and like it or not, Casey has put up points the last couple of years. Not a good fit for us maybe as we have options, but good for other teams who don’t and are looking at a thin FA center market.

It's crazy to think that a few years ago. Casey Mittelstadt was Jake O'Brien, he was James Hagens. He was the 8th overall pick and a guy people probably debated over and loved for his high skill level and high IQ.
That year (2017), Lias Andersson went 7th, Casey Mittelstadt went 8th and Michael Rasmussen went 9th. Meanwhile, Robert Thomas went 20th, Jason Robertson went 39th, Morgan Geekie went 67th and Drake Bathersone went 121st.
Every time I read a post where someone is so confident and matter of fact about what they know about one of these prospects I'm reminded that even the guys who get paid to look at these kids for 12 hours a day, 9 months a year have no clue who is going to hit and who is going to miss.

I will say this about McKeen's: they do their own thing and don't give a rats ass about anyone else's rankings. I don't always agree how they rank the first round, but hey it's all opinions right?
However, when it comes to the middle and end of the drafts there aren't many better.

I like that about them too. It's probably more realistic in that every team has their own draft board and every board is different.
