No, Marchy should retire a Bruin. Get younger around him, but unless he asks to be moved, let him play out his career here. He has a ring already

Grizz was injured when he was a “scratch” but I agree that’s an overpay. He just had surgery too so he may miss the start of next year, which could turn some teams away until a solid timeline for return is known.

He was a regular prior to Lindholm being brought in. Then it was an issue of chemistry. Clifton and Forbort played very well together, so unfortunately Reilly became the odd man out. He could be a decent 2nd pair defender on some teams, although probably with a more defensive guy on his pair to anchor him.

It has been working, but it's back to the B's relying on one line and the PP for all their offense. I think I would start Game 1 vs. Pittsburgh with the stretch run lineup of Marchand-Bergeron-DeBrusk/ Hall-Haula-Pastrnak/ Frederic-Coyle-Smith/ Foligno-Nosek-Lazar and then if you feel like you need Wagner's checking after game one you go back to the current fourth line and swap Nosek for Frederic.</div></div>
Yeah if we advance, I’d put the lines back together that we were running during that insane stretch of wins. Then switch back to the Perfection Line if we can’t keep up.

I just kept the forwards the same as the last game. This was more for the defensive pairs. For the forwards, I would run:

Hall-Haula-DeBrusk
Nosek- Coyle, Smith
Foligno-Lazar-McLaughlin

Fair enough. Thought they might go for a new #1 goalie prospect given Thompson's age and I'm not sold on Ferguson. Lets say that if Vegas didn't take Leinonen, they'd take Julian Lutz (He just feels like a Vegas type of player) and whoever took Lutz takes Cruz Lucius.

I'm good with the value of the BOS trade. Not sure if it would actually happen (Smith would never get more than 3rd pair minutes on this team with Carlo and McAvoy on that right side already) but the trade I think is fair

Swayman Is The Man For The Job
But having 2 really talented goalies for the price of a good starter is a strength. And they seem to have a good relationship. Better to keep Ullmark while they can financially and allow them to be a strong tandem. Helps for rest come playoffs too. Rask looked burnt out some years in the playoffs when he played a ton of games. We can adequately rest both goalies and run the hot hand for the postseason

Dumais definitely won't go as high as I have him (neither will Robertson) but his end of season (last 10-12 games or so) was more dominant than ANY other player in the class. He made great plays look easy, even at his size, and made them consistently. I look forward to seeing him at the NHL level.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>Beauty! Love these!
I'd be absolutely ecstatic if Jiricek falls to 10 OA so the Ducks can snag him. It's pretty much a dream scenario. That being said, it would blow my mind if he made it past the Jackets or Sabres.
Firm believer in taking the best available player over team needs in the first round, especially given that most of these guys are 1-2-3 years away from hitting the lineup and so much can change, but he's pretty much a perfect fit for both of those two clubs if they miss out on Nemec. Fingers crossed that the Ducks win a lotto spot and move wayyyy up (Quite unlikely). I'm pretty much settled on the fact that Lekkerimaki is likely the guy that goes at 10 OA.
I'm not 100% sure why, but I feel like McGroarty and Howard are guys that fall below 15 OA.
Something tells me that you're spot on in that Miroshnichenko falls to around 40-50 OA, but I'd be willing to bet that when he shows up in the NHL at 22 or 23 years old, he's the next big Russian beauty. I think Gaucher will be a steal as well. He's played a bit of a different role this year with Bolduc and Rochette putting up a lot of the offence, but to me, he looks like he could be a very responsible 3C with the potential to be a 2C if he can improve his foot speed (Dylan Strome-type upside?)
Casey/Korchinsky could both be steals as well. I haven't really settled on where I'd put Sam Rinzel, but he's got great size, and could be an impact player in 4 or 5 years (long time to wait for a 2nd rounder, I know!).
Wild to see Cruz Lucius keep dropping on everyone's board. He looked like a potential late 1st rounder last year, and just disappeared. Not a bad showing with the USNTDP over 10 games, but he really seemed to turn into a wildcard.
I have a feeling that once we hit pick #13 or so, this draft is going to go nuts. Pretty similar impact/ceiling guys from 15-50ish OA. Should be some major falls/jumps, which will keep this draft exciting.
Hot take: The American team coming out of this draft could be the deepest team at the WJC when these guys are in their age 19 seasons.</div></div>
Yeah a lot of teams need defenders this year. Nemec and Jiricek both have a shot at being top 5 picks. I dunno about outside top 15 with McGroarty and Howard. Maybe one but I doubt both. Then again, it is a very good draft both at the top of the class and depth-wise, so it could happen.
The problem with Miroshnichenko is his lack of effort away from when he has the puck and overall consistency. These are major red flags for me when evaluating prospects. Then again, I had the same red flags with Kaliyev on the Kings, and he's worked out well. His skill is top round worthy, but he should fall (like Kaliyev) due to those issues. A team will bet on themselves and try to break those bad habits. If it works out, Miro should be a star at the NHL level.
Gaucher's size makes me think that he'll be taken quite high, but the fact that he's barely improved in the last 2 years makes me question his upside. His size alone should allow him to dominate in the QMJHL, but he hasn't. Makes me wonder... High floor, but maybe low ceiling? And in this good of a draft class, I'd rather take other options, especially in the first round.
I like a lot of those second-round type of defensemen (Casey, Korchinski, Rinzel, Kyrou, etc.) as potential steals. It appears to be such a deep class, steals could be common in rounds 2-4.
Team USA has at least 1 WJC gold medal in their near future.

Thanks! I have a personal bias for McGroarty and his style of play. Mesar and Casey are both good prospects that could both definitely go in the first round. I think that picks 15-50 will be absolutely ridiculous where so many players can be taken in that range and be justified in any order. The class is just that good.
As for Savoie, I think it's his size that makes him drop a bit. But I've stopped grading on size with the emergence of small players finding ridiculous success at the NHL level in the past few years. Size is a bonus, but a good prospect is a good prospect regardless of size.
