There are always plenty of draft day deals on the table to trade up/down.

Re: 2025 NHL Draft Class
We need a lot of things. I wouldn’t know where to begin.
Re: 2025 NHL Draft Class
I think we can all agree that big top 6 forwards are at the top of the list.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 4:57 pm We need a lot of things. I wouldn’t know where to begin.
The depth is slowly building, but yes, there are alot of needs

Re: 2025 NHL Draft Class
I would suggest that finding middle to bottom six forwards is much, much easier than finding top 6 thoroughbred horses, in which we have absolutely zilch in…unless the ever so aloof Pettersson starts caring some, even so, you need at least 3 studs in the top 6. It’s a mess there, and not easy to fix. But yay for our bottom 6…I guess.dangler wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 6:00 pmI think we can all agree that big top 6 forwards are at the top of the list.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 4:57 pm We need a lot of things.

You know what? Pettersson used to rock a cotton candy combover a bit like Trump has. Once he shaved his melon he was powerless
He needs the fluff back

Lancer and I get it.Lancer wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 4:26 pmExactly. If management is going to bomb the pick, I would rather they bombed with the top player on their draft board instead of the top player at the position they wanted - or the player the owner foisted upon management to pick.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 3:12 pmLike when they picked Olaf instead of MT.Strangelove wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 3:42 pmExactly, no need to go BPA if a centre is what you desperately need.

Point was: You can select the BPA after trading up/down in the draftBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Wed May 21, 2025 3:12 pmLike when they picked Olaf instead of MT.Strangelove wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 3:42 pmExactly, no need to go BPA if a centre is what you desperately need.

... AND get a guy who plays the position you're looking for.
That didn't happen with Olaf/MT at the 2016 draft...

I can’t believe we are still talking about Juolevi. “It’s not 2016, anymore.” - John Torterella
Are the Islanders fans still talking about Michael Dal Colle?
Move on

So maybe Foote over Tocc and Manny is a good thing? The brass could use some flow while we’re at it...their follicles sparse as draft picks.
