We are trading for TDA, this doesn’t seem likely

who do you want at 30 OA

My hope is Edstrom. But I am okay with most forwards/RD in that range:

-Edstrom
-Wahlberg
-Bonk
-Strbak
-Sale
-Nelson

I like your targets. If the Wild don’t/can’t move up, I can see them moving down in hopes of getting 2 or 3 players like Edstrom, Bonk, and Nelson.

As long as they don't pass on a quality center at 21 I completely agree. For this ACGM, I had them taking Ritchie at 21 and Edstrom at 30 with the idea that no amount of centers picked will ever be too many. Someone is bound to hit, right?

One interesting name I've seen anywhere from bottom half of the 1st round to mid 2nd round pick is Riley Heidt. He would be an interesting pickup as well.

Canes have no need for another offensive RHD since they are bringing TDA back.

Heidt intrigues as well.
Aside from trading up for Danielson, Moore, or even Yeager, I would feel very good if the Wild walked away from this draft with Ritchie and Edstrom! IF they both panned out, I like the Wild’s chances with a middle of Ek, Ritchie, and Edstrom!! It would allow for them to move Rossi and Khusnutdinov to the wing, or maybe Ritchie and/or Edstrom to the wing. Regardless, I am 100% in agreement about not having too many centers!

Kinda pissed we didn't get to move up for Edstrom at the end of the 1st. And the taking of Stramel over either him or Ritchie, but we just nabbed Heidt with the 64th.

Thoughts?

I would have tried to grab Edstrom or Ritchie too, and maybe Guerin tried…
Time will tell with Stramel, but I do like his size, skating, and truculence!
Heidt might be a huge steal!

Agree on Stramel's size. And he’s a RHS too, so of desperate need. Just think there were better options when both Ritchie and Edstrom were there. Hell I would of taken Perreault there too. 🤷‍♂️

Heidt might just be the new Haight! Who definitely looks like he could be a steal too given his silky hands. And Heidt strikes me as a similar style sneaky add, though it remains to be seen if he can turn into a Khusnutdinov level of a steal. But the potential is there.
