Waiting to get Ryan Leonard'd again.
Not really big on the defenders besides the top guy. Eklund would be ok I guess.If Martin goes early, it means Smith/Aitcheson/Eklund is certainly there, which I'd be very happy with.

I'm sorry William! Didn't mean to disrespect your brother.Eklund is not just ok.
A lot of things will depends on how kids will perform in GR this playoffs and Larkin Yzerman situation.I'm sorry William! Didn't mean to disrespect your brother.
But this draft to me is whatever. I'm fine if they pick, but also fine if they trade it for help now.
I do find it a bit funny that a week ago I think 90% of us, myself included, would have blown a gasket if Yzerman took Martin at #12. Now we're worried he won't make it.
I definitely wouldn't be sad if he's there and he's the pick because I genuinely believe you can never stack enough tough to play against centers, but I still think a LD and/or top scoring winger is a slightly higher need.
In other news, I continue to think Frondell is overrated. I know he came right from the playoffs, but he was underwhelming in a pretty weak U18 tournament. Also, IIRC he really started popping this year when he was put with Eklund.
Lottery is tomorrow.
What the hell.I’m super psyched to pick 14th!
Super stoked to pick 12th!Lottery is tomorrow.
.2% we could, but I don't really care much. We have no idea how they progress. Ones I was very excited about picking Veleno and Zadina, you never knowWhat the hell.
We can't drop lower than 13!
Unless...Bettman!
Larkin. Yzerman's last laugh.So who does Detroit send to accept the pick?
Yzerman?
Draper?
Kid Rock?
Yeah when you really break it down... if Martin goes before Detroit picks it likely means youre getting possibly the 2nd best D in the draft, a top 5 talent that fell due to injury history or Eklund. Martin is my realistic guy who I want, but anyone who watched the world juniors should be salivating at Eklund falling. Aitcheson is even tougher to play against than Martin/probably the toughest in the draft for the guys who want Martin for the grit/skill factor as wellIf Martin goes early, it means Smith/Aitcheson/Eklund is certainly there, which I'd be very happy with.
