<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>squashmaple</b></div><div>So far I don't have a preference on who they take among any of the top five guys on Bob's list, yes including the two D. It's kind of refreshing.</div></div>

I mean a RD just wouldnt have space, we have Jiricek, Severson, and Gudbranson. I guess Gudbranson would be gone before whoever we draft would probably be pushing for a spot, but they probably wouldnt be a bottom pairing. Same issue on the left with Werenski and Mateychuck. We would get much better value from a top 6 caliber forward. We also have some undersized forwards in our pipeline so having some size in there would help alot. Thats why im pretty heavy on the Lindstrom train, but really the best forward available is who i would prefer. That said if we did take a defensman, i would want Silayev.

Thread: Few ideas for 2024
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Headhack</b></div><div>Fair enough, not the best trade partners cause we're at a similar spot in the rebuild and needing the same thing.

However I would imagine Harris + Beck + Winnipeg 1st would make it value wise (overpay imo not peanuts) but this might just make the team Mid. Dach (former 3OA) higher ceiling then Sillinger at the time got traded for 13 OA.</div></div>

We arent interested in quantity over quality. Harris, Beck and a late 1st does not meet any of our needs, so we would have no reason to make that trade. You would have to offer a high end piece that results in us getting a comparable value player, so either a top 6 caliber prospect or a top 15 pick. It going to be painful to trade for a talented young player, you would be losing a player or asset that you dont want to.
