Who Would You take with the 13OA Pick?

[newfy]

Which one of those guys actually projects to be a top 4 pairing guy or even a top pairing guy. I see none on that list that do.
Also Tuomisto, Johansson and Cleveland are right shot defensemen. We need LD.
Time will of course tell but I'm not optimistic about them

Well theyve got 2 top pairing D 24 or younger with another prospect that definitely projects to be a top 3-4 dman. So if youre getting into the "secondary" type prospects, if you have a couple potential top 4 guys youre doing pretty good.

I think Johansson and Wallinder could play in the top 4 some day and both definitely project as NHLers. Boom just had a pretty good year too. Theyre solid for guys the D pool arent really relying on

Outside of Wallinder, I’d be pretty surprised to see any one of those other guys ever play more than a handful of games for us.

Think johansson can make it

13OA. Another grinder in 2029 added to the bottom six. Trade the f***ing pick move up or down i don't even care. This franchise is in purgatory for almost ten years now. And of that 25 year streak the last 5-6 years they had almost zero chance of winning the cup....

 

[nbwingsfan]

That means they were all wasted picks!

Which is why it was so incredibly dumb for Yzerman to keep hoarding 2nd picks and beyond instead of getting the Wings actual help the last two trade deadlines.

It’s more likely than not that the picks end up nobodies

Johanssen has the skating and size to be a third pairing guy. Buium needs to improve his skating like Toumisto for me. It is what holds them back, lots of IQ with both guys but I think they look like Holl in terms of skating issues.

I still like Wallinder a lot, I really hope we get to see him next year and he can be a#4/5 for this team.

Maybe, he at the minimum hasn’t shown us he’s not that great like the others have.

Buium I think could maybe get there you’re right, but he’s got some major power skating lessons to take

Ok.

What do you propose?

Ok.

What do you propose?

I agree with everything he said. If we stay at 13 I’ll be pissed. We accumulated a bunch of prospects already . I’d try and trade it at this point , if not move the 2026 pick top 10 protected and be agressive with this year’s pick as well and move up 4-5 spots if you want someone you really like

Pittsburgh has no pipeline I’m sure Dubas would drop back 4 spots for a 2nd and Berggren type player. Too many old men in Pittsburgh

If no one worth trading comes along for that 1st rd pick (we shouldn’t be adding someone 30+ or has like 2-3 yrs left before they turn Ufa) and if no one wants to accept a trade to move up I also wouldn’t hate moving back for the Flyers picks and getting like a fiddler nesbitt zharovsky , boudamienne(however you spell it) with those 2 picks and moving those 3rds to move up from 44 to get a Wozniak

Just make moves. Stop being a bunch of p*ssies

We accumulated a bunch of prospects already but should trade back to get more picks…interesting strategy.

Although I agree with the larger point. Trading this pick for an NHL player that slots high into the lineup should be the first option and I’m sure Steve would agree. If only if we’re that simple…

With all due respect to Edvinsson he's not a top pairing guy! He might be someday but he isn't right now. ASP looks like a top 4 guy. After that there are a lot of big question marks.

So yah we do a big whole on the left side.

Dude I wish I knew! That's why I'm so sad! It's like we are just f***ed!!!

That's fair but who should we have targeted for these picks? I rather keep them than trade them for plugs.

i try my best to like wallinder but i dont see iq or high level competitiveness

Literally anyone who was traded for a 2nd or later (or equivalent). Show the team you actually care and believe they can make the post season. We already saw the comments by Larkin. It’s demoralizing

I get that but none of those guys would have made us make the playoffs. Our top guys went invisible except Cat and Kasper.
