It's an overpay for Beau - if that's on the table, I take it and run.

More like time to start being realistic.

You assume we win the Bedard lottery and you don't put him on a line with McTavish?

Vaak would have to have a hell of a season to be worth a 2nd round pick.

Don't want Kane anywhere near this team, half the league will be on UFA next offseason, there will be other options.

Why, just why did you put Rico on the 4th but silfy on the third? Have you watched the Ducks play in the last two seasons?

No reason to go get Chychrun when we have Zelwegger and Mintyukov in the pipeline, and probably ready for some reps in the 23-24 season.

Ah, there's that left shot d that we've been missing. He can compete with dahlin and power (two first overall picks) plus Samuelsson. I don't know what his value is, but buffalo certainly isn't paying a second for him. Also, depth left shot d are probably the easiest players to pick up, everybody seems to have one that's making a bit more than the team wants to pay, and they would be thrilled to give them away for a late round pick- just to free up some cap space. That's what you are competing with.

Heh. That won't get you Graves' signature.
