Prospect Info: 2025 draft discussion

[Gniwder]

If this team can't turn it around and we end up being sellers at the deadline, dangle whatever you can to try to get a mid/late 1st and pick Cameron Schmidt (if he falls that far).

Size concerns be damned, if this kid can be on pace for almost 80 goals in the W, he's doing something right.

What's Stevie gonna sell? The zamboni?

Won't get much for that, given the pee stains and odors....

No, if we're way out of it in February, keep the Zamboni and make DBC available. He'll get a first-rounder (at least) if he's still near PPG.

Wow. Hagens at #3. I somehow thought they'd be higher on Jackson Smith. Just that kind of big, toolsy defenseman.

I know it takes time but what’s this going to be a 10 to 12 year rebuild?

Alright, because I've seen some NJ fans tossing shade in another thread lately...

It seems they are being held up as a team that has rebuilt "properly." It's also been 7 years since they drafted Hischier 1st overall. I'll take that as the start of their rebuild, though they picked 6th and 12th the two years previous to that.

Seider was picked 5 years ago. Now, NJ had a great year two seasons ago, but also totally flopped last year. So...take it for what it's worth, I guess. It looks like it took a team that rebuilt successfully 7 years, which is a timeline that I think looks pretty similar to us if it works.
