Domi for 8th overall is a bad idea

It's not just a horrible idea. It should be a fireable offense...

Yes, yes it is a bad idea

Rossi and Perfetti are not going to be available at 8 unless some teams go well off the board, at least 2 teams. Lundell is over rated. Probably will be a good player down the road (5 years), i dont think hes worth the pedestal hes been given and would be a stretch to take him at 8. 8OA is a garbage pick. The best overall players available are not going to be in positions of need for Buffalo, and the players they need can probably be picked up in the teens. If they arent trading for an NHLer I think they should at least trade down and get a couple of prospects instead of 1 or maybe 2

Finally someone speaks out about these awful domi Deals for 8OA

From a BUF perspective, I think you should keep the pick no matter what is left on the board. But I don't agree with your description, yes Dom's had one great season and the rest was pretty average but he always had some real bad teams to play with, I think he can be a consistent 50-60 center. He made it to 72pts because of how well the team played together overall and I think he can easily do the same or close to it with a good team. That said, buffalo do t have the condition to make him repeat that kind of production anytime soon and MTL is in a place where they need to add to an already young core, not trading a player part of this core for an obscure pick that COULD become good in 2-3 years. So yeah, this trade is a bad idea for both team no matter how it looks value wise. BUF should keep accumulating blue chips prospects and continue to build slowly and MTL should look to fill an immediate need if they trade Domi and try to add to an already ok core and a more than satisfying prospect pool.
