If it took a 2nd and 3rd to get him, he would already have been gotten. That’s not the deal Winnipeg is looking for.

His refusal to play will play a factor. He is dictating where he goes fyi and has been shopped for a few months now.

I'd be on board for that. Problem with that is the Jets don't seem to have much else to offer. I doubt they give up a first next year since they have none this year and no second next year so that would be a tough sell, especially with the fact that TK is on an expiring contract so they'd have to re-sign him. My guess is they're going to be looking for picks and NHL ready prospects (or controllable NHL talent).

There are none. It’s what always happens. Lots of “speculation” that shit will happen and then you get a few moves. Then it’s quiet time for the summer.
Teams rarely make multiple splashes in one off season. Especially a team in the Flyers spot.

Why don’t you cook us up a Prongo rumor for old times sake.

The hate has probably gone too far and in a vacuum he's a fine pick at 12, but this feels like the worst landing spot considering this org, currently, doesn't have too many players who will get the most out of his skillset.
Yeah I mean that would be awesome but I'm not sure the Jets would be interested. They would be basically at the salary cap with Laughton and TK coming in and still need to sign like 3 more players. Also, again, they're giving up two young valuable players for a guy with an expiring contract. It just doesn't make sense for them. I'm sure on paper they'd like TK and probably Laughton as well, but if they are giving up two young pieces when their draft picks are not plentiful and their prospect pool isn't exactly top notch especially when they are giving up what I imagine is their top or one of their top prospects, plus a 22 year old NHLer. They honestly may be more interested in Farabee because he is younger, cheaper, and controlled longer. TK is clearly the better player but Farabee may be the better fit.
The good news on that is that Eiserman almost certainly won't be in the NHL next year and maybe not even the following year depending on how he progresses. I'd be on board with him at 12. Dream scenario if no one falls unexpectedly we get Helenius or Catton at 12, trade up for Eiserman somewhere in the teens if he falls, and get a defenseman with the Florida pick.

This plus SJ trading for 11OA makes me think SJ and Philly both want Eiserman. That would increase the chance for Catton though

The same New Era as before
The universe does not have enough mercy in it for San Jose's target to be Yakemchuk, does it?

I would imagine they have a number of guys in mind and have a good idea as to how the first ten picks will shake out and want to be in a position to either a) have a choice of talent; b) "guarantee" they get one of the guys they want; or c) be in a position to trade up again if someone falls. Going from 11 to 7 to get let's say Demidov is a lot easier than going 14 to 7 especially if they think Flyers are of the same mindset.
EDIT: Not to mention they had three second round picks so they likely knew they were going to trade at least one of them so to them they basically just moved up a couple spots for essentially nothing.
