Who are you targeting with 8 and 21oa?

Maybe Buf takes the trade, but where does Pommer fit in their lineup? They already have $5m in Moulson (semi-deadmoney)

I was wondering about the targets too. the 8th and 21st spots are kind of low-value spots in this draft. There is (according to the experts) a significant drop off after the 5th pick and the 18th or 19th pick. Unless you (the Wild) have specific player/s targeted whom you value more than most, these moves are questionable. If you (the Wild) do have players targeted, these could be great moves.

I am targeting Nylander but we all know that sometimes a player slips down the board. There are a lot of teams before us with defensive needs so its possible but not likely that Dubois or Tkachuk could fall to us there also if those 3 are gone we can trade back for additional picks and then I would target Bellows. For 21 I have McAvoy, Kunin, Rubtsov or Tufte as likely targets but if someone falls to us I would take Bellows, McLeod or Gauthier. The rest of the draft would be mostly defense to replenish our depth at D.
