Wright is the 1st overall so you won't have a chance at him Juraj Slafkovsky will be the NJD pick

Good ACGM.
I think both Marchment and Manson are getting about $1 million too much.
Zetterlund, Boqvist and Thompson should be signed.
Soucy not really needed unless he comes as cheaply as he did here. We'll eventually want Bahl or Okhotiuk to win that job.

Other than Forsberg, the rest of the moves seem plausible.

Corey Pronman said on last podcast that of the scouts he has spoken with most now feel Slafkovsky will be Montreal's pick.

If I'm betting on it, I'd still say Wright. But no slam dunk.

We're OK with that, it's you guys (and bobby m) saying Slaf is 1OA.
Also, we're not giving up anything to move to 1, Fitz doesn't do those and won't here.

I don't think its even close. Wright is the 1st overall there is no way Montreal goes any other way with the pick.

But nothing would surprise me with some moves made in the NHL

I think Slafkovsky is preferred by more scouts but Wright may fit Montreal needs better. But it’s probably a 60/40 or even 55/45 thing.

I don't know enough about Ty Smith to opine definitively on that offer. But superficially it doesn't seem out of the ballpark.

Value wise it looks okay, but may not be addressing a need with Ducks. I imagine Verbeek will want that latter pick to grab big defensive dman like Pickering or Bischel. Smith would provide more of what Drysdale and Zellweger can. And with Helleson, Moore, Lacombe, Thrun they have plenty of 2-way depth. They need a stalwart with size with that pick.

Just my two cents. Quack.

Impressively accurate analysis, as usual, right down to the guys I'm interested in at #22. Yes, impressive.

Spot on as far as the prospects in the Org go. It's also quite possible the Ducks take a D at #10, most mocks are trending toward them taking Korchinski.

I think its safe to say Smith would become the Ducks second best LHD after Fowler but the age doesn't line up very well. He gets added to a pool already too full in that age range: Vaakanainen, Benoit, Mahura, Guhle and Larsson. Verbeek needs to sort all these guys out and some of them need to move on / get cut loose. For sake of argument let's say they keep Vaak (3rd pair) and Benoit (7th D) and send the rest to the Gulls. Do they then want Smith on the 2nd pair? I don't, even though he's good enough in the long term. The defense is going to be too young and shaky this season that way. Pretty darn soft too.

For my money I'd much rather bring in an older guy to keep that 2nd pair slot warm until a kid (Zellweger) is ready for it. A Brendan Dillon type player would be ideal. Big, physical. Makes decent money to help reach the cap floor but isn't on a bad contract. A contract that most importantly expires in 2 years. The rub is what guy like Dillon is actually available and for what cost?

Many of the Jets guys posting Dillon trades only want the draft picks back that they paid for him. I think that after a year, two seconds may be a little high, but we could afford the Pittsburgh second and Minnesota third.
