I think it is safe to assume that mcdavid and eichel will be gone. Who do we take? I believe the pick will either be strome or hanifin. Any thoughts?
I think we are trading it for some immediate help. If so, better be a goal scorer
What do you think of the pick? I heard hes not the best skater...
I guess we didnt get good enough offers to trade down
So atleast 2 years till we see him? Thats not terrible although im greedy and want to see him pace up right awayFrom what I have heard so far, the trade offers weren't even in the stratosphere of the value you can get with the third pick. They have been dangling the pick to any takers for the past week. That tells you what kind of offers they received from interested teams.
Strome was the clear third best player. You don't come across potential first line centers with the ability to score 80+ points very often. They certainly don't make it to free agency. We need to spend 12 million to reach the salary cap floor for the upcoming season. This is where we can pick up some solid defensemen. That is why I was iffy on taking hanifin.
Let's not fool ourselves, he is no mcdavid or Eichel. The team needed scoring in a bad way and he will fill that need. He will need to spend two years in the minors improving his skating and puck handling. The guy will be a good player for us. He has a nice shot and has great on-ice vision. It will be fun to see him, Domi and perlini playing together in 2-3 years.

Glad we went foward over defense. If they stay in the desert we could have a really good young swuad in the future.
Wonder if next year will be another stinker and we get another high pick or if we go middle of the yable
