That's not at all what I mean and you know it.

There are zero players in this draft that will realistically be available at 13 that I think help the Wings more than trading that pick as part of a package to land real NHL talent.

Anybody at 13 is at least 3-4 years from playing regular NHL minutes, let alone being a significant help to the roster.

but the question is who you would take with the pick. The question wasn't what you would do like to do with it, or how far out the pick would be from contributing.

Aitcheson we need someone that can actually play defense on the left side. He had a very good year offensively and he's excellent in his own zone. Most important he's a mean nasty f***er that loves to hit and get in the opponent's face.

This is EXACTLY what we are missing on the Blueline. They don't make many guys like this anymore.

If he's there we damn well better take him instead of yet another winger.

Of that group, Bear if he checks out medically by a country mile. If not injured we would never have a chance at him. If not I like Aitcheson (fits great in terms of his profile and our needs) and Carbonneau (maybe young, maybe dumb ....time will tell, but it is hard not to like the package of tools) of those listed. Of those not listed, I like Ryker Lee the most.

I am totally fine trading this pick for immediate help, I just don't think the pick is all that attractive of an asset in a trade for the very same reason that everyone wants to move it. For those looking to move it, I ask what teams are likely to value it? Nashville? Phila? Boston? I think you need a team just starting the decline. The teams at the bottom have already traded away all of their solid NHL vets (apart from the young ones they have drafted in-house). I don't see the Hawks, Ducks or Sharks as viable partners. The truly competitive teams have no use for 1st round picks, especially in weak drafts. Anyways, I think trading it away is easier said than done.

Interesting... 10 players, 6 forwards and 4 of them are 5'10"-5'11" guys, and at least 3 of then would go higher re-draft. Starts to give ideas that maybe/if Eklund "suffers" same fate....

Yeah he's going top 10 now, possibly higher. No way he falls to #13.

For the record, I think he's worthy of a top 10 pick this year but also think things are getting a bit out of control..

I think people are putting too much stock into the U18s. The 50 or 60+ games he played in the OHL are going to carry more weight.

The only guy who played for Canada I think may have boosted his stock in a meaningful way is Cootes.
 
I don't really like any of those options. If I HAD to pick one, I would say Aitcheson, but I'd prefer Eklund or Ryabkin, so i went with other.

Maybe, but I still think he goes top 10. I say this because the alternatives aren't screaming good picks with tons and tons of upside. Teams also like players that are hard to play against. Just look at the playoffs. Do you see a lot of open ice out there?

I agree with this. Call Buffalo up and get a top 4 d-man in Bowen Byram. Send a package for him. From the sense I’ve gotten, this draft isn’t that great. We need an elite offensive winger or top 4 D.

And what part of looking at Buffalo's roster, or Buffalo's fans screaming "WE DON'T WANT PICKS OR PROSPECTS, WE WANT NHL TALENT" makes you think that we could trade Buffalo picks or prospects for NHL talent?

As far as who I want? I will use this poll as a starting point to start looking into the guys who might be available

I voted Reschny. He really popped off down the stretch and I think he has more skill than most of the options here. If he were 6'2, I think he goes ~5th overall.

Next I think probably Bear if we're okay with his injury. Then probably Carbonneau I guess? And if none of them, I can begrudgingly live with Aitchesson.

Really I'd rather trade the pick. I'll really only be happy on draft day if Eklund falls. I don't like any of these guys as much as MBN and I don't really like MBN very much.

Yeah he's starting to intrigue me. Small, but great production this year and good skill. If he hits, he's a different player than Kasper/Danielson.
 
Been hearing a lot of good stuff about Alexander zharovsky. I’m sure ppl will be scared cause he’s russian but I think after all the safer bets I’d be taking huge swings. Not saying I’d take him at 13 but I’d consider trading back and accumulating picks and taking him later on or accumulating the 2nds to move up again and taking him then

Obviously have to wait and see if anyone drops to 13... unfortunately we can’t trade a rasmussen compher etc.. for a late 1st let alone a 2nd rounder god we have so much garbage on this team

Who can we trade currently on the team that lands a 1st or 2nd rounder? Larkin raymond debrincat Seider edvinsson Kasper. That’s it?

Almost tempted to deal debrincat now just to watch larkin have a meltdown 🤣 I can picture Yzerman making sure to sit across from larkin when the trade would be announced and just staring him down until he gets up and walks off 🤣

I’m hoping Buffalo’s GM would make a bad trade. As for roster players, I think Rasmussen and Bergeron including with Wallinder or maybe Danielson, along with #13 overall. Maybe I’m just hoping.
 
I know were divisional rivals but anyone thinks it might be possible to get that 7th pick from the bruins and getting a o'Brien or martin??

Bruins prospect pool is non existent so they need to add as many kids in the system as possible

13 & 44 + berggren ???

On a side note still pisses me off yzerman didn't make a play for Monahan. That 16th pick should be ours. Besides marc staal yzerman's sat on his ass and never made a deal that added more assets since he got here
