Let's gooooooooooo!!!!

 

[timorous me]

Whoa! Wouldn't have expected this until they were on the draft floor, but okay, I like it!

 

[landshark]

nice! But as OP on the SNOD thread I was sincerely hoping this wouldn't happen until after midnight...

 

[weastern bias]

We're making moves, boys

Gonna get a defenseman for sure

 

[pappaf2]

Holy Moly!

 

[Hodge]

I hope I'm wrong but I think this is more about guaranteeing us Eiserman.

 

[Juxtaposer]

Let’s gooooooooooooooo.

 

[karltonian]

Sweet. Found money turned into a win

 

[pappaf2]

I hope I'm wrong but I think this is more about guaranteeing us Eiserman.

Get out

 

[mogambomoroo]

I hope I'm wrong but I think this is more about guaranteeing us Eiserman.

I'm actually pretty afraid you are right, this would be a MG kinda move if he really likes Eiserman.

 

[ChompChomp]

Crazy! I think it's a clear indication they really want someone and will take them at 11.

 

[timorous me]

Very interesting how this seems likely to take our two most likely choices, Eiserman and Solberg, off the table now. Obviously impossible to know who'll be there at 11, but I wonder if there's one particular name Grier is targeting.

 

[one2gamble]

odd move to be honest

 

[ChompChomp]

Let’s gooooooooooooooo.

Calm down, Zeev won't still be there at 11.

 

[rideaucrusher21]

Can’t wait for tomorrow night!

I have no understanding of why you would think this.

 

[timorous me]

I'm actually pretty afraid you are right, this would be a MG kinda move if he really likes Eiserman.

But is there any clamoring out there for Eiserman that early? We can't know for sure, but it certainly doesn't feel like the winds have been blowing him to any teams in the early teens.

 

[STL Shark]

This is my guess as well. Buffalo, Philly, and Minnesota were all teams with rumored degrees of interest in Eiserman. New Jersey being the last. Curious how it all plays out though.

 

[Hodge]

I have no understanding of why you would think this.

Just rumblings that the Sharks like Eiserman along with the Celebrini connection and obvious BU connection.

Philly and especially Minnesota were always going to be the most likely teams to snap Eiserman up before us.

 

[TealManV]

Very nice! My first thought was that this opens up another trade up for teams that don’t want to fall all the way back to 14…

 

[Celly4Celebrini]

Whoa! Wouldn't have expected this until they were on the draft floor, but okay, I like it!

my guess is buffalo is dealing 14 for necas.

in the words of Creed "can you take me higher"

 

[glasgow26]

I’m thinking this is for Yakemchuk

 

[weastern bias]

Eiserman really doesn't feel like a Mike Grier style player, I think this is about securing one of the favored D men to get us a real top-pair prospect

i doubt it's Eiserman. you only move up in this draft to guarantee a crack at the defense.
