Outside of the top ten, actually. After 10th overall, there is a noticeable statistical drop off in long term NHL viability.

Picks in the 3rd round and beyond have less than a 20% chance of ever playing a single game in the NHL.

I like Jaskin frankly, but I'd rather have a pick, especially if it's a 2nd. Expecting a 3rd. a 4th would be terrible asset mgmt for Pearson. Especially given if it's the Caps it's basically a round later (2nd is a 3rd, etc.).

Zero issue retaining on Hagelin to get a decent pick for him.

I'd keep the whole f***ing contract if we could, agree.

Yeah, after this horrendous season, getting Hughes or Kakko would be quite the salve. Hughes is absolutely in the same tier as Eichel. Kakko is in Laine's tier.

Really hope you're right and really hope we get to find out. I just get that sinking feeling that this is one of those "kings fans can't have nice things" sort of drafts.

And most teams either want to get, or keep, the potential of the unknown 3rd rd pick, as opposed to the known 3rd rd pick from 1-3 years ago who has shown he'll probably be part of that other 80% that will for sure not end up doing anything.

You're not winning without the top players, but Cup champs are made by managing to hit on a couple mid round picks over a few years. 4 of TB's top 6 scorers were a 2nd rd pick, 3rd rd pick, and 2 players that were never drafted. They're so stupidly good because they have all that, plus 2 top 2 picks.

In true Kings fashion, we will get the 3rd overall, draft Podzolkin, and he will never leave Russia.

Why? Not only did he start this season in about the worst way he possibly could have, but we were yelling about him in the 2nd half last year. It looks like Pearson isn't going to be anything more than a 3rd line guy on a good team, with an almost $4m cap hit for a couple more years. Plus all the intangible player descriptions we throw around. Things like soft, etc. Where is his value? How much of an asset was 18-19 Pearson?

Because trading a useful playoff player at the trade deadline for what's essentially a 5th round pick is awful when you see the inflated values out there.

Less about Pearson, more about Hagelin. Turning Pearson into a usually-wanted deadline asset like Hagelin looks smart in retrospect, but only if you don't fumble the trade now.

What inflated values? Boyle has had the same value for years. Other than him, what crazy value is out there in trades this year? Unless you're the team buying low.
 
Last World Championships Kubalik and Jaskin were 1 and 2 leading scorers for Cze. Jaskin had more goals though. Jaskin was plus 9 though and Kubalik -1. Makes you think they were not on the same line and that Kubalik probably scored most of his pts on the PP. Radek Faska, a former #1 Stars, had 0 goals and Filip Chytil, Rags #1 had 1 goal. Jaskin tied Pastrnak in goals with 4, although Pastrnak played 5 games to Jaskins 8. Give him the last 20 games and if he;s a nothing burger, don't qualify him...but why not give him top 6 minutes and see if his skill comes out? If not, who cares? More ineptness for the TANK.

CZE REP World Championships. Hyka up on the list too. Kings connections..or almost Kings;
Hyka, Kubalik.

Numbers aren’t so hot in the NHL the last five years.

Rather see Grundstrom or Luff take a spot honestly.
