Gudbranson belongs on the 3rd pairing. Not 1st

You speak wisdom

Is there anyway helleson could be in the deal?
I like the ideas behind it and think that there could be some merit. Would be interested to take this if Jiricek was available at 6-7 and then the picks could be packaged together to get him

Guds is there because of prior chemistry with Fowler, Not going to find a partner for Fowler in UFA who SHOULD be on the first pair, save maybe Letang.


No to Helleson, we need the RS depth. We have a lot more LS which is why I added Lacombe. Could potentially offer Andersson instead.

maybe, if we could get Jiricek then sure, but if we cant then no

I think Jiricek is getting projected top 5.

Canucks pass, package doesn't fit anyneeds

Who do you think you would target in a Miller trade? This does get you a good Prospect and an extra first while moving your first up 5 spots. I just dont think we have a RSD for you.

We really need a RSD coming back in a miller trade or else the trade is a failure imho, moving him to move up 5 spots is also not of interest, the extra 1st is nice but its not a great draft. think other teams beat this offer imho

Fair enough. Might just be better to target Fiala.

No thank you. Miller doesn’t fit our timeline and I’m not giving up all these assets for one guy right now where we are at

I mean you're dropping 5 spots in the draft and trading a late first and Lacombe for Miller who had 99 pts. You don't do this unless you want to resign him for sure.

This +1. Don’t trade young assets for older talent when our core isn’t ready to truly compete yet. Wait a few more years for the kids to develop, then wield the picks.
