The rest are too early to tell.
So we went 1 for 3 in the top 5
Had 2 decent picks we traded before playing for us. Probably 2 of the top 5 we drafted.
Had 2 good wingers.

So of the 16 picks. 5 have been good. But 2 were traded away. So 3. We have 3 decent picks since 2003. But ppl are worried about drafting a bust?

C’mon. Sometimes you have to aim for pure upside like Michael McCarron and David Fisher

I still find it funny that people thought McCarron would be something. The battles on FI were better than his career.

 

[CH1]

If everything went right he could have developed into a quality 4th liner

 

[worm]

Maybe. If goons were still a thing

 

[Habsy]

Probably another fever dream

No. Random stuff I'm reading from wannabes in Nashville poking around. It would make sense if Hughes and Gorton liked the interview.

The guy I posted looking for an interview in French (Michkov doesn't even speak English well) mentioned that Michkov himself said it.

Speaking of no ingles, why did he need a translator when Bobrov is Russian?

You don't draft a guy that you need "everything to go right" for him to be a fourth liner.

Trust issues?

 

[Habsy]

Ok, interesting question here and depending on who's left at 5 would you trade 5 to Nashville (might want to make a splash at the draft in their town) for Askarov, 15 & 46?

 

[Habsy]

Yeah or his translator is FSB.

At least Bobrov could verify what was being translated.

I'd rather pick one of C,M,S.

 

[GrandWazoo]

But that's the part that bugged me a bit about the Newhook trade, we could have used one of those picks to draft a pretty good goalie prospect.

I don't think they see any of them as better than Dobes. Surely not top two rounds. They have a multitude of 3rd and 4ths. If one slides they may take one there.

Yup 15 is a bit too low

No guarantee Barlow , Musty and others are there

My buddy is saying Caps want to move to 5 if MM is on the board

Everyone knows this

No.

Problem with Washington is they don't have the assets. They have 8 & 40 and that's not enough unless they throw in a 2024 first and hendrix lapierre.

Lapierre sucks. Pass.

 

[Habsy]

I like the flyers as a target and I would leak to Briere that Washington is interested and better step up for Michkov. 7 & 22 plus.

 

[Habsy]

Lapierre sucks. Pass.

He's the throw in. 2 firsts, a second and a player is a good return.

that was the jist of my post
