Wright and Slafkovsky would be awesome. Or do you hedge your bet and take Cooley and Wright?

I’m weary of recency bias having experienced it w AKos & KK (shot up due to U18 tourney) but Slafkovsky would be hard to pass up w 2OA pick

That's how I'd go with both picks. I'm also cool with moving down to 2 or 3. Although with the draft in Montreal having the top two picks would be epic. I'd have to fly up.

 

[GGpX]

I wouldn't mind getting the second pick, however that pick isn't going to come cheaply and I'm not interested in paying a hefty price for it.

If we had the 1st & 2nd pick, Wright & Slafkovsky, honorable mention to Nemec.

Only way Hands can do it is to empty the veteran ranks to jersey

 

[Sal_Butera]

Unless Holland gets drunk and hands you Leon or Dubas gives you 34 , no immediate help is helping them make the playoffs

Dougie took the money , he isnt a difference maker

It’s a given NJD will open the vault for Gaudreau if he hits the market.

Gaudreau + immediate help @ D or W w 2OA will position them to be a playoff team next season.

Gaudreau will help but he is 29 and another small player , another albatross deal like Hamilton in the making

 

[Habsy]

You don't turn down a guy like Gaudreau if he's willing to sign. Sorry. I still sign him 7 years.

Owners don’t care about hockey future 5-years down the line, when they’ve mandated making the playoffs now..

 

[habs25th]

Sortie De Zone is pretty good as well imo.

I'll check it out, wasn't aware of it.

 

[habs25th]

Apparently NJD GM once again came out publicly to state he’s looking to deal 2OA for immediate help, and making playoffs this season is imperative.

Not sure if Anderson + Cgy 1st + Struble / Harris gets it done.

I wouldn’t want to include Guhle as the prospect component (vs Struble / Harris), however, if push comes to shove not sure…

Wright and Slafkovsky would make for a solid core addition to keep building upon

That's terrible for the Devils. I'd imagine they hang up at anything that doesn't include Caufield, Suzuki or Romanov.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

That would be a fun twist. If we have the top two I would draft Wright and Slafkovsky no questions.

Me too. Only to see Cooley have a Hall of Fame career, knowing our luck.

 

[Krustchev]

I would include Guhle if that lands us Wright and Slafkovsky.

 

[GrandWazoo]

We have no luck. If we draft Cooley he’s a sure bust as he wouldn’t be able to live up to the Wright comparison.

I've said this before here but I wouldn't want our top 2 centers both under 6 feet . . . although I'd obviously take Bedard next year if we get that opportunity.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I would include Guhle if that lands us Wright and Slafkovsky.

I wouldn’t but I’m irrationally high on Guhle, as well as scorned about trading away our best defenseman prospects.

 

[lecoqsportif]

I wouldn’t move Guhle.

 

[GrandWazoo]

I wouldn’t move Guhle.

There is just something about that kid.

 

[Krustchev]

I wouldn’t move Guhle.

It depends for what. For the second overall pick this year, I would.

 

[xposbrad]

I would move Romanov over Guhle without hesitation. Guhle is going to be decent and can play the PP.

I don’t think so, he’ll be a shutdown type
