Thread: (CHI/NYI) - 2024 1st (TBL), 2024 2nd (LAK), 2024 2nd (VAN) for 2024 1st (NYI), 2024 2nd (NYI)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jpsnow13</b></div><div>Because quality is better than quantity.

CHI doesn't care about giving up a 2nd, they still have 7 of them in the next 3 years! They just want to draft as high as possible.

I hope MTL does the same thing with WPG 1st (26th). I thought CHI, NYI and SJ would be good partners for trad
ing down and was kinda right. I wonder if now the price might get up to close a similar deal with SJ.</div></div>

Yeah but... You don't know what 'quality' will be available yet. Skipping 1 team? This far in advance is bold. Maybe a guy they like slips to 20. The they move up in the early 2nd round for quality with 54 and 61. Just seems narrow minded

Thread: Quack quack
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Everything was good up until the Zegras trade (although I'd give LaCombe and Lindstrom roughly the same amount of money). Our top 6 is pretty much set for the rest of the decade: Gauthier and Zegras at LW, Carlsson and McTavish at C, and Terry at RW. Guentzel wouldn't be a bad idea especially for the first few seasons because it would allow us to shelter Gauthier at #3C for a while. But In reality, I think that what we really need at forward is a top-6 right-handed shot.</div></div>

Nothing is ever linear and rarely works out how we think. I'd rather see the Ducks trade Zegras and upgrade D if possible. They would have more impact on the game than Zegras will. Maybe it's not Pulock, it's a different trade and sign Pesce if available. Or another D, maybe it's next year, but Zegras is the player I'd dangle to get an impact defenseman. I feel like the Ducks have had 5 plus years now of poor defense and its time to mix in another strong vet with the youth on the back end so they can grow together

Thread: Why not Silayev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cody_tugak</b></div><div>Dickenson to Ottawa seems more imaginable than Silayev to me, I really believe that the big guy will land in Arizona/Utah, then they'll have a number of huge players and bully their way around getting wins and bully themselves into a playoff spot, I really think the guys in Arizona/Utah really deserve to be winning now, especially after being on the crappy end of the stick for years, it's just too bad that they're letting go a couple seasons too early</div></div>

Yeah interesting. He does seems like a Utah pick. The only rebuttle I'd say is hmyhey did that with Simashev last year and it wouldn't shock me if THEY took Parekh or even Buium to get some offensive power on the back end to go with monsters Simashev and Lamareaux. I think this draft will be so fun to see who goes where. And I'm

Thread: If Nygard is still available by pick 15
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Subbanator7667</b></div><div>Anaheim will be in the top 5, no way they take him. I'm eyeing Levshunov or Parehka for them and think either would be a great addition</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>I think they take Lindstrom or Demidov and move Zegras</div></div>

I agree I don't think Levshunov gets past Anaheim. Would be a great pick for them.

Personally, I love Yakemchuk to the Sens in their spot. Sorry scick lol! but I love Yakemchuk's floor more than Parekh with just as much offense. Parekh has that Makar/Karlsson in him, but Yak's slightly lower offense is made up for by his hockey IQ, but then add the size with his skating and projectable every situation minute man and it's kind of a perfect fit for ottawa. That's tough to pass on imo. I get the Parekh love though

Thread: King Karlsson but only if no Chabot or Chychrun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SadSensFan14</b></div><div>Sure. I like these trades, but you could deepen the team better by spending to the cap more. Perhaps by getting someone who can actaully stop pucks?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>Yeah I think they’ll get a goalie just hard to predict</div></div>

Goalie blaming is a cop out for bad teams. I don't think Korpisalo has been great, it's been bad. But with how that team played in front of all their goalies from November to March, no one's stopping pucks.
In the last 2 weeks, their defensive play has been miles better and shocker, the goalies and numbers look good. There's so much nuance that goes into how goalies play based on what's going on in front of them. If they know they have bad coverage/system in front of them, it can mess with their game.

Im not willing to write off Korpisalo yet based what how I saw this team perform on the ice. Talbot looked horrible here... Goes to the kings, has a 2.5gaa. Korpisalo went from a 3.15 gaa in Columbus to 2.15 on kings. Goes to sens, almost worst in the league. Coincidence? No chance.
