GM Game #5 by RR and IR4

[IslesRock4]

Next Lidstrom? Let's slow down here...

I don't think there are any high end prospects this year. I'd trade down to get the player I like (RNH).

 

[Dichow Stopper]

UPDATE

We are listening to offers for the 7th overall. We are considering moving up or moving down. To move down, we would need to get an upgrade in our NHL team. Take a look at my roster in the Roster thread before sending an offer.

PM!

 

[The Instigator]

You also don't pass on the next Sakic. (RNH)

That's coming from scouts in Sweden, not from me...

I'm sorry, but we hear that **** all the time and when does it ever come true? Ever player is different. No one is the next someone.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

RNH will likely not be in the NHL next year. He isn't as ready as Larsson, Landeskog and Couturier.

Anyway, everyone has their opinion but as far as I'm concerned, Larsson would be my first choice by far. Then, I would go with Landeskog, Couturier and RNH.

He is better than Hedman at the same age and by a good margin... that's quite something.

Matt Stajan is the next Crosby.

Who wants him?

 

[Backlund]

Matt Stajan is the next Crosby.

[T_Cage]

Matt Stajan is the next Crosby.

Who wants him?

Is that supposed to be a selling point?

But about the draft, its a toughie. There are 7 guys i like at the top, but i'm still undecided on the gap between them. I feel Larsson/Couturier is the top, then Landeskog, then the 2nd tier. Not an RNH fan... (he'll be good, but i wouldnt put him above the first 3, and maybe not even #4)

DEVILS ACQUIRE POMINVILLE

The New Jersey Devils have traded defensemen Bryce Salvador and Matt Taormina, along with Atlanta 2011 first round pick to the Buffalo Sabres for forward Jason Pominville and Chicago 2011 second round pick.

We feel that Jason will be a great fit in our organization. We believe that he will be a solid complement to our first line. Despite the recent injuries, he is a talented two-way player and we like the fact that we got another player who brings leadership. He prove in the past that he was able to score more than 60 points year after year. We strongly believe that he could get another 80 points season next year along with Ilya Kovalchuk and Mikko Koivu. We would also like to wish Bryce and Matt the best of luck in Buffalo.

 

[The Instigator]

Anyone against RNH being top 3 obviously has never seen him play.

 

[AlexMaz]

have plenty to offer! We have two 2nd 2011 and two 2nd 2012. Also all prospects are available and all roster players are available but Kessel.

 

[Regina Pat]

Honestly, I'm having more trouble picking my favorites at 9th Overall then 1st.

RNH is no joke... he's the next Olli Jokinen!

 

[The Instigator]

Haha the difference is, one is on my team.

I know, it gets very tricky after the first 5-7 picks....

And i have seen RNH play. Not as much as the other top prospects, but a few times. I know the WHL hype machine is pushing their own like usual, but nothing stood out in his game that would make him a better prospect than Couturier, Larsson, and Landeskog (and the way Huberdeau's been progressing, he might pass him too...). He looks like he'll be a nice NHLer (potential Top 6,maybe 1st line. Kinda like Burmistrov) but not an impact NHLer

 

[CaptPantalones]

Staal deal likely complete by end of the night. big move for the future of the pens

I live half an hour away from Red Deer and I've seen him play 10+ times. Last game I saw he had 5 points. He's the real deal.

I live in Regina, and have seen Jordan Weal play many, many times, and he had some 102 points last year, and he went in the third round.

confirm. Two more big deals could be completed by the end of the night. Vanek has been dealt pending NTC.

Obviously there was something missing in his play then.

According to capgeek, Vanek doesn't have a NTC (unless you mean that he is dealt in a trade involving a NTC).
