Yup quality agm

Would be neat to see Dunn up with Hronek

And DDK with Seider for veteran whatnot

Edit:

Omg and then the super fun Gards/Stech pair 🎉

Well...

Even as an armchair version of Yzerman I have to leave the tinkering with the roster to Blashill.

I do like Dunn with Seider though, Seider is a better passer than Hronek is and I think he'll help Dunn to score more points than Hronek is able to.

DDK is on his last year in Detroit and I sort of hope that his #6 spot is divided equally between DDK and Cholowski and Lindström.

Well thought out. Good job. I wouldn't give up a 3rd to make sure Seattle doesn't take Lindstrom, Cholowski or Svechnikov. I won't lose any sleep if we lose any of them. But that's just me. I still bugs me that Holland protected Abdelkader and lost Nosek.

One of Holland's many blunders.

Blues accept for sure. The chances of Detroit selecting someone there being better than Dunn are slim in this draft.
