About 16-17 of the teams are in play with ours plus NYI pick.

24-30 for us

10 teams to watch for NYI. Eastern wildcards, eastern and west bubble teams and teams trailing them by up to 6 points.

Most nights most games matter.

I kinda want that next year pick.

I posted this in the NYI thread .... In regards to getting 1st OA next year.

Yeah, thats is about a 3% probability .... Even if the Isles are worse next year than this year, (call that 50 - 50) say they end up something like 25 and are in the 8th OA position. And reality is that its probably fractionally worse than that, in what is likely to be much lower quality draft. Our best bet is winning the lottery this year. and getting the 13 - 16th pick this year. That probably has close to a 10% probability.

I prefer this year. Isles will still be a bubble team, but this is a deeper draft and the prospect will be a year further along in development.

I’ll live with this years pick too. Prospect hopefully has an extra year of development.
 
This years pick would be ideal as the top Dmen are all slated to go around that Isles pick (13/15). We could end up with one of the 2 best Dmen in this draft and they are only pushed back because of how good the forwards are.

The best part about this draft is the top 2 Dmen are both RHD, Reinbacher and ASP. If we leave with a top forward with our pick and one of them we are in a great spot.

I’d be surprised if Reinbacher is available with the Islanders pick, maybe if it’s at 13th we can sneak him in with say Will Smith with our pick, that would be a home run for the draft. I can see a team taking Reinbacher in the top 10.

So my point was trade down with one of the seconds where he is available.

Isles currently sitting at 13th so I guess we want them to lose? Or maybe a point?
Click to expand...

No I don’t want them to lose too much. I want their pick this draft in the 13-18 range. This is a deep draft and I don’t see them being bottom 10 in the league next year. But if they lose too much they could finish bottom 12 this year and then the pick gets delayed to next year.
 
How about curveball, and pick the best 2 D in the draft, Without caring about size?

David Reinbacher at 6-8
Axel Sandin-Pellikka 13-16

I Would be down with that, big time.
Both are starting to separate themselves

LOL.... you need to get out more. If you think Vancouver is expensive, try living in New York, Chicago, LA, Miami, etc.

I spend a lot of time every year in Phoenix, it's a nice place.... to visit. I tried living there and it sucked. 125F in the summer, you literally can NOT go out side. The town itself is bland, everything looks the same. You could be in Suprise, Goodyear or Chandler... and you couldn't tell the difference. BORING AS f***.

Vancouver doesn't rain 90% of the year, when you have to massively exaggerate to make a point, your point is invalid. Vancouver is generally gorgeous from Mid May until Mid Sept, last year until Mid Oct... the last several years you could probably count the number of rainy days during those months on two hands and you can actually go outside in the summer for hours... not just minutes.

There is a reason Vancouver is expensive.... people actually WANT to live here. Don't like it? Move to Edmonton and tell me you "Have a better life".... LOL.

WE are just about to enter the great time of year. Even from mid March to mid May you can usually golf 80 - 90% of the time. The only downside to BC is 1 - the cost of housing 2 - the traffic and 3 - for 3 of the last 5 years we have had terrible smoke.

I moved to Chilliwack when I left the states, so the traffic is a fraction of the problem. I can get to the North Shore to see friends in less than an hour. I can get to Kelowna in under 3. The only real downside is the days when I either the smoke or the pollution is so bad that my wife can't go outside.

But there is a very good reason why Vancouver is considered one of the best places in the world to live. Being retired, member of a golf course, own my place, have reasonable savings and retirement, love the group I play hockey with, travel 4 - 5 times a year and play pickleball. I find this place near perfect. Now if we could just win a cup ....

No, this isn't a good draft for defensemen in the first round

We are tempting Juolevi like fate taking a high pick on one of these guys. I'd rather trade the Islanders pick and get a late first and an extra second than risk it on one of these guys. Unlike many others, I think Dragicevic will be good. Maybe similar to a Mike Green type player. Maybe not what we need but you need to take the best player. I'd take him and maybe Cagnoni in the early second round. Yeah we need strong defensive RD but you need to take these guys in the late second and third rounds because they take a while to develop. Need more picks.
