Thread: 2015 The What If Of What Ifs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gofnut999</b></div><div>By altering this draft you alter the standings and draft order for the following drafts. By altering Bostons picks you alter every pick after them. Altering standings and team needs in future drafts.

Maybe someone who missed out on someone in 15 takes Mac before he gets to the Bruins. Maybe Boston finishes with a better record and pick later.

Same with 2017 draft.

Butterfly affect.

Quit crying over spilled milk. It accomplishes nothing.


But lets do it. Why stop after the 1st.

Lets take Connor
Take Chabot - despite being all offense/no defense in jrs - exact opposite of what they needed
Take a center - despite Bergy and DK being entrenched as top 6 for years to come - but take Aho - better choice

Round 2

Keep Carlo
Take Hintz over JFK
Take Dunn or Rasmus Anderson over Lauzon

Round 3. Take Nichols Roy over Vladar

Round 4 take Conor Garland over Jesse Gabrielle

Round 5 - don’t trade the pick to Minny and take Kaprizov themselves.

Phew. 🤷🏻‍♂️

There has never been a perfect draft…by any team.</div></div>

Lining 3 up in the first like that is like the Vikings swearing about Gary anderson or the 04 flames or 99 Sabres. Reminisce for a lifetime til there’s something new, Boston fans pre Kraft, 04 and 11 understand.

Heinen just declined the Jets who apparently made a more lucrative offer though who knows exactly how much more, if they can't get a Heinen to sign than Idk, I'd say they're pretty much screwed.

Jets need a culture change, is a guy who's made his intentions of leaving going to be good to have around for that culture change? I'd think not.</div></div>
I would out penguins the penguins for Lemieux or Magically Crosby. Time for the jets to swing for bedard. Get Ladd back a little nostalgia for the fanbase, piss off or alienate the Schmidt and wheelers to waive and sell high on helly/Connor/ehlers, sell medium on demelo/scheifele/Dubois, sell low on Schmidt/wheeler. Give morrissey and pionk the option. Fill the squad with vets and possibly a few kids, take the paper bags and boo birds in stride. Try to get as many 1sts as possible, then settle for some early elcs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wpgman</b></div><div>Very good point about Dvorak and how long he will be here. Dubois &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Dvorak</div></div>

Somebody has to tell Chevy and the jets that they are a small market Canadian city, they can’t compete heads up with the ny and floridas of the league or even Toronto montreals. They took there swing in my opinion, it missed time to sell high on a few, sell middle and possibly sell low and move earth for whatever can be gained in first round in next few drafts. Getting swinging again in 25 when cap and age comes to colorado/st.Louis/Dallas. Awfully tough to push all in for 3rd to wildcard spot. There are not more physical than stlouis, not more offensively gifted than colorado, so awfully tough to get out of central. Tender may steal be able to steal one, 5vs5 probably a coin flip, special teams possibly jets, physical depending on team possibly jets. But jets don’t have the ability to buy on the open market, so delaying a sale is going to prolong the bubble and agony in my opinion, but jets haven’t got the memo, so hopefully a miracle or magic coming lol

Thread: PLD trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeypal</b></div><div>Eh Montreals 2nd will only be within 5-8 picks of the 1st but that’s why I put the condition on it, Barrons the 7th d man he and Heinola will swap obviously there’s going to be injuries so he will get quite a bit of playing time</div></div>
Your probably right and I’m more speculating on what I would want done, jets need another scorer like laine to be relevant again. Especially with the aging and uncertainty of scheifele and wheeler. Connor and ehlers can only carry them so far, so time to see what they have in samberg/heinola and anybody else in that category. Would rather gamble on samberg and heinola, then drop Schmidt to third pairing, demelo and Dillon would be on the block for me if your moving Dubois. It’s kind of a one foot in two canoe scenario and there going in different directions otherwise.
