Interesting move for both. SAN Jose gets a solid player to move 10 spots. Who do we sign to replace him?

Also there is a pretty good chance eklund goes 1. Almost zero chance he’s available at 7

I know its still early, but something like this isnt impossible...

1.BUF : Power (They could really that kind of Dmen)
2.SEA : Hughes (Great player to build around)
3.OTT : Beniers (Need a C)
4.ANA : Guenther (Scoring winger to play with Zegras)
5.NJ : Clarke (Need RHD badly and brother plays with NJ)
6.CLB : Raty (Need a C badly) or could see Sillinger as well
7. Eklund

I guess If Columbus goes mental like last year and take Räty. Eklund would be an interesting piece for mtl. I also wouldn’t mind Lysell if we somehow picked here. That kid might be really good

Yeah, I like him too (Lysell). But to me, Eklund would just fit nicely with this team' style of play... He's a hard working, speedy and skilled forward (saying forward since he can play all 3 positions). He also have a high hockey IQ, the passes he makes sometimes... He might also play right away imo, so thatd be a plus and he could replace Drouin.

Lysell has got the best hands in the draft (or maybe tied with Johnson) and is really fast too. He just didnt had the season most people thought he would have.

SJ definitely does not touch that. Drouin isn't a player worth moving down 10 spots for, especially if the implication is that Lysell is still there at 7OA. We'll just draft Lysell and not have to deal with Drouin's cap hit, sorry.

Moving up 10 spots into the top 10 of the draft will cost more than Drouin. A lot more.

Guys, Drouin might be only worth a 2nd right now.

Not sure why the Sharks would do that.

Very easy no from SJ. The org is dead set on this draft and Drouin is not tempting at all. We've picked in the top 10 twice in 2 decades, not going to ruin this opp for an overpaid, inconsistent plug like Drouin.
