Unless the deal for a top pairing dman, I would rather make the pick. Tkachuk is going to be a good player, and fills a need in terms of grit in the top 6.

I was flipping back and forth whether it would be nicer to just not win and enjoy the lack of hate or win and improve the team.
Now that it's done I am happy with how the draft went.
Would have been nice if Toronto didnt get first but all three eastern conference teams and two of them Canadian is very cool.
And hopefully the league can lay off of us for awhile.

Not by itself but the fourth and a guy like Davidson and or Yak "should" get the job done.
Hamonic does not bring the puck moving ability we need. He can break out just fine, but does not possess that offensive dimension to offer up 4 on a platter like that. Besides which, it is known he wants to be somewhere else besides his current location -- why offer more than you need to?
No Hamonic for the 4th. Hamonic is not a good enough player. We need an offensive PP QB back there, Hamonic has scored over 30 points once in his career. He's a career no.2 guy. Solid, but not worth that high of a pick.
If we're moving the pick we need to really get our needs back there sorted out.

And he plays a very pro style game, lots of his goals come from in close. Not saying that he'll be better than Laine, far from it, but I think he'll have a smoother transition to the pros.

He's not big, his skating needs work and he doesn't help out defensively. People claim that he plays tough but he really doesn't.
No chance that happens.
Do that then trade Eberle for Vatanen, sign Demers, buyout Fayne
Klef - Hamonic
Sekera - Vatanen
Davidson - Demers
Nurse - Reinhart
I'm comfortable with that going forward personally.

Do this many people still think Winnipeg is in Atlanta, or...?
Don't even really care about Toronto winning, but getting bumped by Winnipeg is terrible.

That is who I want for #4 if we keep our pick.
I honestly don't think it matters who we take at 4. Everyone is good but not great in the next tier.

Who do we pick with the 4th overall pick (Post- Lottery)
So the Edmonton Oilers are picking 4th overall which could be really nice for us actually. I'm inclined that it definitely makes sense taking Jakob Chychrun here, and I'm from London and have seen Olli Juolevi play and he is great, but I like the "Drew Doughty" like playing style that Chychrun offers.......

Why do you guys like Hamonic so much? 4th overall pick >> Hamonic. He's good but not worth a top 5 pick.
If I were the Oilers, I'm calling Bergevin everyday and trying to get Subban. 4th overall + RNH/Drai gets you Subban + Juulsen if Bergevin and Therrien are stupid enough to trade him.
