Roster Building XXI: It Gon' Go Down.

[bleedgreen]

After the number one pick there’s zero consensus in this draft. I think it’s fine we don’t overpay to get up high this year.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Don, you asshole.

 

[robbieberns]

Necas for 5th coming up next!

 

[Brock Anton]

That’s now three major trades that have been “centered around” Necas that haven’t gone through.

I’m fully preparing myself for a Faulk/Skinner like return for him at this point.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Necas for 5th coming up next!

no chance

 

[Daeavorn]

Welp I think we all need to expect us to sign Necas to a 1 year deal with Jake going to VAN.

If nothing happens by tomorrow I'm booking it

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I don’t blame Columbus for saying no. Teams rarely if ever accept an add when trading a high pick. Straight up or add to get the player. He’s not that caliber.

 

[ElmCityGuy]

Don, you asshole.

I guess Don didn't like that particular member of our group.

 

[htdoc]

Sigh...

As usual, draft is a whole lot of meh... oh wow a bit off the board having someone go a few picks sooner than expected!!! Wow!!! Craaaaaaaaaazy!!

It sucks for the kids not to get to walk across the stage.... but it is a good thing this is the last year all in the same rink.. its not as bad as the awards ceremony like last night... but this whole thing needs to be over in 20-30 min since the teams refuse to do anything with it other than go in order and just pick based off the lists published..

So they weren’t trading then cuz lindstrom wasn’t going 3

Or #2. CHI was always going D.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Just for fun, prepare yourselves for...

...no Necas trade tonight,
...no Jake announcement either,
...and we trade out of the 1st round for a high 2nd and a 4th.

You're welcome.

Next time use a spoiler tag. Jeez.

 

[bleedgreen]

Surprised he fell but happy for booyah. He’s a stud.

 

[Bub]

Next time use a spoiler tag. Jeez.

Yeah, nothing like a going way out on a limb, huh?

 

[LakeLivin]

Is it possible they've signed Guentzel but want to wait to announce it so as to not pull attention from the draft?

 

[spockBokk]

They’d be announcing it from the rooftops if he’d signed

Don't think they'd care about the PR side, but team management and most agents are kinda busy at the moment.

And Gunetzel might be doing something responsible like taking a full day to decide on what he wants the next decade of his life to look like.

 

[Highest Boss]

WE.

More accurate than every NHL insider combined.

LOL time to go buy some scratch-off tickets.

So glad I stayed up for this boring nonsense.

Alternative thought....if/when Guentzel signing is announced, the pushes Necas's value down as well.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

My bet is that both are announced simultaneously to max the return, if it happens. I have no problems at all with the FO keeping Necas if Guentzel chooses Vancouver instead.

Leah Hextall getting all handsy.

I noticed that too, she’s been patting those boys knees quite a bit!!
