Nolan or Nico

[DevilishWon]

Too early to start a amateur draft discussion or should we wait post Vegas

Never too early, DW. Nico likely has the higher ceiling, but Nolan is likely the safer pick.

They both suck. Can't go wrong with a 6-4 245 pound d-man or a power forward these days.

If it's fancy skating they want, let 'em go to the Ice Capades.

There's a chance I'll still be alive in 2059 - I'll probably be senile as hell with a couple of marbles rolling around upstairs.

Interesting....

I wonder who the scout works for.

IMHO Id take Nico. If you want to be going upwards, you gotta roll them bones sometimes.

Exactly - you think McDavid or Matthews will come flying up the ice knowing those brutes are waiting to take their heads off? Intimidation works. In fact, if there isn't a big bruiser available, I'd trade down and try to snag an asset like Nick Ritchie off the Ducks as well. That is how you rebuild a team my friends.

Ritchie doesn't have that edge to his game though. If Ottawa is lucky enough, Mark Borowiecki will escape the expansion draft. You flip 1st overall for Ottawa's 1st, Borowiecki and the negotiating rights to Chris Neil. That's a solid core!!!

A lot of really great ideas being tossed around here, I hope Shero reads these boards

Just an addition to the whole Borowiecki deal. If you hire Dave Cameron as your coach Boro can fill in on the first FORWARD line too.

And while you're at it, give a whack to William Nylander too!

Also:

McKenzie: One of 10 scouts surveyed has Makar at #1

I don't care how much his style reminds you of Erik Karlsson, it would take some big brass ones to take a guy from the Brooks Bandits #1 overall.

put 'er there mattola

 

[jstewismybastardson]

so Friedman is saying Devils and Canucks are talking about #1 and the Devils are looking at a D (draft wise) ... could they be the ones high on Makar ?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

fair or onesided either way?

to Canucks: #1 overall and #36 (2nd rounder)
to Devils: Chris Tanev and #5 overall
