                            If Seattle's plan is to contend now like how Vegas did they take Gourde. If their plan is to pick up young players can hope to contend in 3-5 years from now they take Foote. The Tampa pick is what I'm most excited for!

                            Alright then. Sign Driedger as a UFA, keep Vatrano, and take Andrej Sekera from Dallas

                            I wanted Killorn but they have tons of wingers. Dadonov and Neindereiter shocked me, so did Tarasenko. Bailey is solid, so is Drouin. Gourde is a great centre, and he will still be good in a few years. I think they take him. But Tampa must be out of their heads to protect McDonagh

                            Yeah I think Gourde will be the pick, Their are lots of solid wingers for Seattle to pick

                            "What was their thought process here" [simek]

                            They had better assets to protect

                            "You expose your best goal scorer?"

                            He was 5th on team in goals and is expensive, aging

                            bailey’s not a center. having him as your 1C is not a good idea.

                            Is this post joking or... ?

                            🤕

                            The only thing saving that D core from being historically bad is 90s expansion teams and California Golden Seals type situations no exaggeration

                            Almost all are underqualified for their role

                            The forward core is good for now but they're almost all nearing 30 and likely to decline, not to mention nearing UFA and will be looking for big contracts

                            😐

                            Meanwhile there's no young core to take the torch

                            I agree exposing Dadonov was a dumb move, but calling him their best goalscorer is just not Remotely accurate. Dude had 13 goals.
