Thread: Jackets trade and new 3rd line
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Old_Snowman</b></div><div>No we don't. This is a 2023 draft pick. Wings would like to be competitive again sooner than later. 2021 or 2022 picks only. But if we're going to accept a 2023 draft pick we need a better player than Jankowski coming back. A near NHL ready prospect + a 2023 2nd would be a yes. But unfortunately (but actually not unfortunately because I can't wait to watch Pittsburgh crash and burn after Crosby and Malkin retire) is that Pittsburgh's prospect cupboard is scary empty. They'll be worse than the current Wings.</div></div>
Meh...not necessarily. I mean the complimentary pieces we have are mostly young. I mean Marino and POJ look like they will be studs and 1st pair of the future. MP, McCann, Kapanen, Guentzel, ZAR, Blueger are all 26 and under. Plus they have a few good prospects that will likely be good top 9 contributors in Poulin and Legare for sure. Then add Lee, Maniscalco, Reilly, Angello, O’Connor, Lafferty should be staples on the bottom 6 and bottom pair Dmen. They will likely suck for a few years but if they can get a number 1 pick at the right time, they should be ok. All really depends on draft lotto luck. They’ve just done real well with mid-late round picks and college free agents. I mean it didn’t look like Guentzel, Blueger, or Rust were going to be anything special and they turned into solid top 6-top9 pieces. And Marino didn’t look like anything special either until they get him for a 6th and got him into real game experience.
