Thread: Something needs to be done
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>I disagree with that. I think we were exceptional at drafting under Treliving, but I'll hold reservation on Conney's drafting for now. I'm not arguing that Andersson has a lot of value, I just disagree on him having more value than a 1C locked up long term making 7M, or a 21 year old 1st pair defenseman locked up long term. I think Savoie is a good prospect. I wouldn't trade Andersson for him 1 for 1, but I'm also under the impression that Buffalo is not interested in Andersson anymore.</div></div>

I could not disagree more. Treliving's draft record wasn't good at all. He gets no credit for Matthew or Sammy because Brian Burke wouldn't have let him take anyone else with those picks.

Thread: 2024 Top 10 Draft Predictions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>- Maybe Demidov is overrated but I don't see him falling out of the top 5 due to a Russian factor. You have Anaheim who has a young star player in Mintyukov and a need at RW, and you have Columbus with like 6 Russians on their roster. Lastly there is Montreal who is in need of more offense. Even if Chicago passes on him, there is no chance in hell all 3 of those teams do too.
- Columbus has been heavily linked to Silayev and frankly there is no way Levshunov is getting past #3. As for Buium, he's not pure offense, he is quite decent defensively too, why he is below Levshunov in most rankings is because he played in a weaker NCAA division.
- I don't think the Yakemchuk take is that unrealistic. I just think they probably take one of the 2 OHL defensemen due to Staios' connections with the league
- Catton is small, everyone knows that. But in terms of pure skill he is easily one of the best players in the draft</div></div>

Chicago, Anaheim and Columbus all need centers more than wingers, all three teams could use a good defenseman more than another winger too. Anaheim definitely likes their players big and mean too.

Yeah I'm not that big on Levshunov either but he's still probably a top 10 pick. Personally I'd take Yakemchuk over him, probably a few other players (both forwards and defensemen) too.

Catton we'll never agree on... At least not until years from now when one of us is proven right... He's either as good as you think, overrated like I think or somewhere in between. :)

Thread: The trade Conroy agreed to in February
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HappySqrl</b></div><div>I haven't seen a credible source actually list the details of the trade. Everything I have seen tends to be either fanbase assuming the deal was terrible for the other team.

I'm inclined to think a fair deal is somewhere in the range of Markstrom and the 28th overall for Holtz and 9th overall.</div></div>

Calgary already has 9th OA, Jersey's pick is 10th but if the deal had gone down at the deadline Jersey was expected to make the playoffs which would have put the pick at 17th or later. It's possible the deal the two GMs finally agreed upon might have been something like Marky with no retention + 28th for NJ's 2024 1st + Holtz + a sweetener. But that deal got shot down by Flames ownership.

Now the NJ pick is 10th OA which is worth quite a bit more than 17th+ so yeah 10th + Holtz for Marky + 28th would be a good return probably too good unless there's retention on Marky.
