It’s only right for Fitzgerald to dangle #10, but I just can’t fathom a deal that makes sense.

This teams main needs are a 1A goalie, middle-six forwards, and possibly a veteran second pairing defender, all of which shouldn’t cost #10. A package for #10 should be centered around getting a first pairing D or first line forward, neither of which this team has cap space or a real need for.

Honestly, Binnington should be up there close to Saros, Markstrom, and Ullmark as available 1A options.

Not sure if he’s fallen off, but Saad is also another intriguing name from the Blues. I would love to add him to play alongside Hughes or Hischier.

The only deal that makes sense that would include #10 would be for a package for Brady Tkachuk on the off chance he's made available.

100%. The 10th should be completely off the table for any of those kinds of pieces, even in a trade down.

IMO the top 10-12 of this draft is quite strong, and the Devils will pick up a premium prospect there.

Unless the trade target is an elite starter, top-pairing defenseman, or elite winger, the 10th should be out of the question.

Didn't HF used to be a rule against posting HockeyInsiderr?
I think the old version of the site had a blocker that would somehow have the account name x'd out when their tweets were posted here.

I may be wrong, but I think at one point the account had at least one more Y and one more R at the ends of hockey and insider. Probably because his original account was banned.

I remember he started a bunch of shit one day by claiming that Wayne Gretzky was having some kind of serious health episode (maybe a heart attack?) and started tweeting at Gretzky's daughter. Once it was pretty quickly confirmed that this was all fake and bullshit, he said that he's glad it's not true, but that he heard from a legit source that it was true and that he was just spreading the message lol.
