If the 2nd round teams could take a player from the team they just conquered, who would it be?

I'm baffled that there's even a single Oilers fan that isn't saying Kuemper from LA. I know he didn't have a great series. But he's up for the Vezina right now. And the Oilers only hole on the roster is a goalie. And it's a big missing piece.

I don't gamble. But if the Oilers had Kuemper on the roster right now, I'd be putting money on them to win the Cup.

I wonder who the Panthers would take from Tampa Bay. Nikita Kucherov, maybe? Not a great series from him, but there's no denying he's a game-changing talent.

Also, bonus points for using the word "conquered" in the thread title. :laugh:

Him or Brayden Point easily.
 
Damn, at full health

Robertson - Hintz - Rantanen
Marchment - Duchene - Seguin
Benn - Johnston - Granlund
Steel - Bourque - Dadonov
Blackwell/Back

Harley - Makar
Lindell - Heiskanen
Bichsel - Lubushkyn
Ceci

Oettinger
DeSmith
 
Nah you don't take someone for a what if scenario you take the guy who helps right away. So Hischier or Pesce.
My feeling is that Canes D is good enough to win. Having Pesce back would be great but adding Hischier down the middle so you could run forward lines of this would be deadly

Svech - Aho - Jarvis
Hall - Hischier - Stankoven
Martinook - Staal - Blake
Robinson - Kotkaniemi - Carrier

Swap those top 3 RW as you like.

Canes need a Ghost/Burns upgrade more than they need a shutdown guy

Jets take Thomas I think. I know a lot of people will say Binnington but we need more top 6 Cs badly and Thomas indtantly bolsters our forward group.
Why would the Jets take Binnington when we have the #3 goalie in these playoffs on the team? #1 if you don't count two guys with less than 20 minutes of game time!

I disagree. We can absolutely win it all without Hischier, if Freddie goes down long term unless Kooch pulls his head of out his ass we are done.
 
Take Markstrom. When we exit I know I will be blaming Andersen and/or Kochetkov both whom love to give up soft goals. Andersen has been good so far but I'm not disillusioned enough to believe anything other than our goal tenders are least clutch of about any team left in the second Rd . If we don't make the Finals, I'd bet the farm it will be off soft goals.
