Stop targetting each other. Pointed insults are considered flaming. Critique the post, not the poster. If you find yourself unable to do so you should probably utilize the ignore feature.
you know what kid, HF boards is a forum, it's where people discuss hockey, and bring their ideas and thoughts on the message board. Instead of these stupid one line remarks that you are doing, bringing absolutely nothing of value.
Why? I'm completely against trading our own futures for other teams' prospects unless we are close to become a contender and have extra assets.
And if you really want RyJo or Drouin, you need to overpaid for them cause many team wants them.
Which in other words:
1. Say bye bye to our 2016 &2017 first round picks.
2. Don't even dream of icing a good roster next season.
Fair, my bad.
But your plan is extremely unrealistic and you know it cause you call it ideal fantasy plan.
Of course it's unrealistic, it's a fantasy plan. but the trades values are spot on
Spot on but won't happen.
The team you ice is off course fantastic and the age group is very ideal.
But it would take multiple miracles and couple brain farts from other GMs
The miracles come with us getting all those guys, but I can easily see 1 of those deals happening, or something somewhat similar.
Well, if we somehow get one of Drouin or RyJo.
There's no way we still have our 2016 1st
The Finns, Laine and Puljujarvi are playing against men already.Juolevi has skyrocketed up my list too since I saw him at the WJC.
The thing I like about Nylander and Juolevi is they are playing junior hockey in the CHL. They've already adapted to the North American game. Though the big Finnish forwards are absolutely monster talents. Matthews is the gem of the draft. Chychrun and Tkachuk's stocks may be falling a bit, but both are still great talents that deserve to go top 5.
Any of the big 5 + Nylander would be fantastic. There is a great top 6-7 this year from the looks of it.
Is Nylander really that good? would you really take him ahead of Juolevi? McLeod?
Nylander looks legit to me, IMO he could and should be better than his brother.

I would like to add my stamp of approval on this post.Laine or bust
No, coming out of the draft with anyone lower than Laine is a bust.Laine over Matthews? Interesting
Two Finns are looking pretty strong , not sure the gap between them and Mathews is very big.
Agreed, but even if they were slightly better than Matthews I still take the franchise centre every single time.
He reminds me of RyJo a bit. And he was invisible in the game vs Russia
Matthews is really good defensively, also I think he's a little better offensively. He reminds me more of Kopitar.
