Speculation: Roster Building Thread DCLXXXII: Draft Day in Chicago - My Kinda Town?

[mas0764]

Pettersson and it's a steal. Suzuki and I'm fine. Vilardi or some **** like that, I'll be livid.

Why don't you like Vilardi?

Most sources have him ahead of Suzuki

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Get Chiarelli on the phone, we can take on the 14M McDavid wants.

 

[Guyute]

Nick Suzuki, come on down!!

 

[Boruto]

I hear Anthony DeAngelo is a real type C personality. We needed that temperament and unruliness in our lineup and now we have it! #GreatTrade

 

[JT Kreider]

Bingo....

The problem always was we didn't have an elite center in front of him.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If they get Pettersson or Suzuki, I hate this trade less.

Doesn't mean I think that they did well here.

 

[Anthony5967]

This team cannot go into next year with Hayes as the 2. Something is coming. Hayes' postseason was scary bad.

 

[Hockey Gamer]

i really need to take Stepan's advice right now and relax, because I'm really not liking the value we got from this trade.

our center depth opening night is?

1. Nieves
2. Zbad
3. Hayes
4. Hayes again?

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I hear Derek Stepan is a reall good two way center.

Too slow, I'm glad he's gone. The return has to work out though.

 

[TheTakedown]

MacKinnon only,please.

Would literally send both our 1st rounders to COL for mack

 

[mas0764]

I hope there is a follow up to this move, could 7 now be shopped for a #1 RDH?

We're gonna sign a #1 defenseman for free... Shattenkirk.

This pick should be spent on a true #1 center prospect.

You know... the thing everyone keeps complaining we don't have and Stepan wasn't.

Sign Joe Thornton while the kid develops.

The fact that we got a 21 year old top 4 puck moving defenseman prospect in this trade tells me we are gonna look at forward at 7 for sure.

I'd even trade up if Patrick slips.

 

[Ail]

Bingo....

Yeah okay and we'll see where it trends this year. Nice asset evaluation.

 

[Anthony5967]

Get Chiarelli on the phone, we can take on the 14M McDavid wants.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

If they get Pettersson or Suzuki, I hate this trade less.

Doesn't mean I think that they did well here.

This!!! But the mock drafts are probably right and Vancouver will select Pettersson.

I'd even trade up if Patrick slips.

You really want the injuries?

 

[NYR Viper]

Bingo....

Yeah I read that and thought the same thing. I think they're concerned about something with him as he gets older

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I don't even care, i'll say it. 2 picks in the draft? One of them is 7th overall?

I'm just taking a minute to be like

 

[Trxjw]

I just hope they don't decide to throw money at Shattenkirk, Thornton, and Marleau.

#7 is a really good spot. They'll get a very good player there if they can not mess it up.

 

[Thirty One]

We're finally going to see what that extra 1 out of 20 faceoff wins gets us.

 

[RGY]

Sign Shattenkirk
Re-Sign Smith
Trade Holden
Klein retires

McDonagh-Shatty
Skjei-Smith
Staal-DeAngelo
Bereglazov

 

[GregSirico]

Would literally send both our 1st rounders to COL for mack

I think that would be FAIR.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

#7 is a really good spot. They'll get a very good player there if they can not mess it up.

If they pick Mittelstadt they will have ****ed it up.

 

[nevesis]

Yeah okay and we'll see where it trends this year. Nice asset evaluation.

If you didn't see that Stepan is a terrible skater, has no hands and was indeed trending downward all while being extremely over paid for his talent, I don't know what to tel you.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

If Miller can competently play center, I think we are fine with a Zibanejad, Miller, Hayes top 3.

 

[EpicDing]

FWIW ARI fans seem pretty split on it too.

 

[Rangers2319]

step had that NTC too, which i think played a major factor
