    We should target 2Cs with our assets, not another 3c

    I love Mikael Backlund, I've sung his praises on here for a long time, he's an analytical monster. I think this is a little much. The Canes 2nd and Drury should get it done, why including a 1st and an extra pick?

    Glad I'm not the only one who sees it. People get mad at me when I say he's calgarys best center.

    What is the plan when Freddie or Raanta get hurt and you have to call up Pyotr?

    I'd absolutely agree, he's a monster. There are very few players that do everything he does

    I generally assume that it takes more than the hockey community expects to acquire players, especially considering how late our 1st rounders are.

    At this point, you don't know where that pick will be. We have two netminders made of glass, and have started to develop a long injury history to our best players. If the team stays healthy, yes, but one injury crisis and it's a lottery pick
