You can name 7 high end defenders

Imo 2023 again was loaded with high end forwards. Comparable but insane to claim this year is better.

Also centers are the most important position in hockey. If Bedard Carlsson or Fantilli were available and Levshunov Dickinson and Buium are also available in the same draft and you need a defender but those guys are there you are picking talent over position no doubt in my mind

Thread: What I would do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>"retool" and "rebuild" are two different things. WSH is headed for a total rebuild. They aren't their yet but they will be. Nothing they have on the roster in their youth is anything but a support piece.
Their is no younger core there. At some point here really soon they will be rebuilding. PIT will be right there with them soon enough.</div></div>

Capitals are missing top line center but I strongly disagree

Leonard is elite. Cristall is trending towards top 6 / elite
McM 2/3c. Protas middle 6. Miro middle 6. Suzdalev middle 6. Lappy bottom 6.

MF Sandin Iorio Chesley top 4.

Strome is 26. Signed for a while.

Capitals draft Demidov or one of those D men they are retooled and just need a 1c.

Penguins literally have nothing in the pipe. Their best prospect is what Yager ? Cristall is A LOT better. Penguins need to rebuild. Washington can retool quickly.

Thread: Nic dowd
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>when was the last time a 4th liner got a 1st at the deadline?



Seqan Monahan plays top 6 minutes. dowd plays bottom 6 minutes.

no one is adding dowd to be a 2nd liner. many teams will be interested in adding him as a 4th liner and instead of only getting a 4th or a 3rd im pretty sure he will command more given his contract.

dowd is a good bottom 6 defensive player, almost 50% in the face off dot, and there is cost certainty.

however "elite defensive bottom 6 centre" is an oxy moron. if he was elite then he would play in the top 6. simple as.

imo a 2nd a prospect is a fair return and well above normal market value for a 4th liner</div></div>

He plays 16 minutes a game lol. Good row to answer your question. Dowd is elite bc he plays against other teams top players. Lol “oxymoron” not exactly

A agree but the oxymoron is calling a guy a 4th liner that plays 16 minutes a game with 0 pp time.
