For this reason, I am not a complainer. They definitely aren't drafting by position and, theoretically, I support that. Means you gotta trade your way there later though. Doable, but different method. They just did in the 4th, he’s a bottom 6 grinder who needs work…can’t complain though picks 1,2 and 3 were fantastic!

tmac70 Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 One theme that is different with this year's draft choices all the forwards are over 6 feet with room to grow. All have skill potential and upside. The lack of movement in trades is mind-boggling, we will see how this all plays out but it appears this draft is far far coveted than most years. My concern right now is with Hanifn, Lindholm, Vldar, and Backs. It appears our options for this year's draft picks is non-existent. All that is left is a hockey trade. If we can get a return such as Dubois brought back then great but who's your dance partner? If we are also in on Duclair there is no way we send Hanifin there unless there is a HUGE ++++ coming back with Duclair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the concern but worry not we can always target 2025 picks in a Hanifin Deal…this years draft is just so deep it’s why a few years back I was screaming for us to trade Gaudreau for a 2023 1st rounder…just imagine if we did that, it would have been totally worth it… having said this, I’m kinda hoping we do move Lindholm for a 2025 1st rounder+ also Backlund for at least a 2025 2nd 2025 is not as deep it’s somewhere between this years draft and last years draft so the 1st 2 rounds will be solid picks, not great picks into the 3rd round like this year but easily gonna be deep into the 2nd round. 2024 is not so hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I did not see the clear direction to rebuild that I was hoping for in this draft, and somewhat expecting. I'm not really worried about it, it's coming either way. I think we picked up a decent amount of skill and size here. Some questions remain, but we didn't have to experience any Jankowski moments and we have a lot of high ceiling pickups. If later drafts are cheaper, then they are probably the way to go in a trade. There is a time premium and the best way to win trades is to use it. Can't fix everything overnight.

Numbers are impressive. I would say that we have gotten players well below their ranking (for the most part). Better than unranked or well down the list. Not that draft ranks ever are right after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
