eddy helped and i replied after the fix
No I meant I saw him reply to you at the same time I was, but realize now you didn't see it. You responded to one of my suggestions after he replied to. Maybe because he is a mod that allows him to see all posts.

Redrafts two years out are pointless.

Redraft 2017 right now and it's still undecided after Makar.
I don't see how its not Heiskanen or Pettersson . Nico has been great, but he's not at that same level. He is likely #4 though.

Our forwards find the LD a lot in transition rushes coming up late. Saw it a few times tonight with Graves and all I can do is think (and salivate) about that dman eventually being Luke receiving those passes as the trailer. Hoo boy.

I've noticed this too. And far too often, the guy receiving the pass is Smith or Graves, and it becomes a harmless muffin shot.

I wonder if teams are actually allowing that to happen somewhat (when forced to by a breakdown), knowing it usually won't turn into a scoring chance.

It‘s definitely possible. I’d want those guys to be getting those passes too if I’m defending the rush. Luke jumping into that rush will cause headaches for the opposition.

I’m feeling more and more opposed to including Holtz in any deal. Guy was seventh overall two and a half years ago. That’s a seriously premium asset.
Holtz is the prime bait, in my opinion. He'll attract San Jose while not detracting from the Devils future core. If I was Fitzgerald I'd start the bidding with Holtz + Bahl + Blackwood and see where the conversation goes. All three of those guys would immediately play impact roles with the Sharks.
