Them or TB. Both are the kinds of teams that are or will be in cap trouble and could use a higher prospect.

Who's the best player available? Abramov? DeBrincat? One of the goalies?

does size matter?

Yep. And I counted 6 teams with at least two 2nd rounders, so there should be tons of options.

I suppose it's probably DeBrincat, but I can probably name 8-10 guys I'd be happy with (and yes, Abramov is one of them too). I wouldnt use 31 on a goalie, I think it looks like one of them will drop to 57 anyway if you want to get one early tomorrow.

Datsyuk to Arizona - I wonder when they will have Pavel Datsyuk night in Glendale.

/Dale Hawerchuk likes this.

one of the most experienced GM, vs one of the most inexperienced.
And Detroit dumps a massive cap hit for (net: less than) 4 places in the draft.
smiling like a cheshire cat.

 

[puckhead]

also, I have this sick feeling that Tkachuk Jr will feast on Vancouver for years to come.
almost as much as Tkachuk Sr feasts in general.

AND HE'S NOT A FUCKING CENTER

he played center the last half of the season and did pretty well at it.
is capable there for sure. (draws might be meh, but can drive play from the middle)

I don't think AZ makes that deal if Chychrun doesn't free fall. Perfect storm for Holland. Got away with one here.

I imagine that the reasoning was that they were effectively moving up more than 4 spots given the player that they were going to be able to get at 16.

Dimitry Kulikov to Buffalo - Edmonton misses on another dman

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
The #FlaPanthers get picks 38, 89 and Pysyk from #sabres for pick 33 and Kulikov.

Geez, if it weren't bad enough for Tyler Benson with his injury issues in junior, now he's been chosen by the Oilers. Sorry about your luck, kid.

/I guess the Oil are happy with their crappy defense corps.

Oilers are doing very very well for themselves so far.

Still a name or two left that were on my list for #31, if the Leafs get one of them at 57 I'll do cartwheels.

Devils trade pick #77 to the Pens for Beau Bennett

This was the kid that was granted exceptional status to play in the OHL a few year ago, right?

The Coyotes GM was probably looking at a sheet of advanced stats on Datsyuk and didn't look at the name.

Okay, I like him.

Geez, Jesse knows some English after all (lol)

Hey, Dallas got a goalie (well kinda). Campbell was highly touted a couple of years ago.
