2023 Draft and UFA Thread

What is a fair trade to move to #2 ?

The 5th, and 31st picks should do it. If the Ducks aren't bothered about getting Fantilli then they're obviously willing to settle for Michkov, Carlsson, or Smith.

Hugo isnt paying through the nose to move to #2

I would go 5th 31st 2nd next yr and Dvorak/Harris

Fair deal , plus they already have McTavish and Zegras down the middle

They need a game breaker in Michkov more than Fantilli

 

[Habsy]

If Anaheim really wants Michkov, and I doubt it, then it makes sense to trade to five. If that's the cost then people here are smoking it giving Detroit our pick for peanuts.

exactly don't need a 3rd top centre

Leonard it is.

I’d be happy with Leonard and Cristall. I would not be happy with Reinbacher and Gauthier

I like the idea of Cristall at 31.
So much young talent coming in. I hope some pan out!

 

[Stinky]

What’s the justification for Leonard over Barlow? Some here were rather high on him.

Hi floor, meh ceiling?

Cristall seems all ceiling. He sounds like he’s a ‘yes or no’ pick. Yes he makes it and is a steal or no he’s in Europe in five years.

he's smaller than Bedard

he's smaller than Bedard

His bigger issue is below average skating

IMO Barlow is going to be Alex Tuch , a big tough 30-35 goal scorer who competes and willing to take a hit to make a play

Leonard is a 200 foot who plays physical who has more skill , some compare him to the Tkatchuk brothers

Both are legit top 6 players on any team

Cristall ...sure in the mid to later teens on a better team looking to take a flyer on his ceiling

 

[Stinky]

Leonard sounds like a good fit. Ya don’t draft for need.
And it’s good to build and hire for ‘fit’.
And we “need” a centre.
High skill?
I will not second guess who we pick unless the person we don’t pick scores the winner eliminating us from the cup.
If this should occur, my post in regards to this will be most foul.

 

[Krustchev]

We actually don’t need a center; Dach, Suzuki & Beck will be fine. Leonard definitely fills a need on the wing. As does Michkov.

All righty Cs - 4 if you include Evans

just sayin…

 

[Sal_Butera]

Would Ana entertain trading Zegras, who’s apparently miles away from being a 200-for C?

 

[lecoqsportif]

Leonard at 5…

Would we rather have 9 and 17?
