You already know where the pick is going. To Minny for Rossi along with someone big...Joshua maybe

Jugg Brackett will be picking one of the above

We don't need more shrimps. If we do, get Marchand. He is a shrimp, and a prick, and cheaper.

The Smurf line:

Hoglander - Rossi - Garland

Or the Five Niner line. Or the Sixty Niner Line. 69 inches is five foot nine.

Rumours the Blackhawks are offering up their 3rd OA pick for Peterka. The premiums are escalating

I haven't seen any of them play. But from what I read, Reschny seems like he has the highest likelihood of being a bust, without offering any more upside (that I can detect from a scouting report) than any of the others.

I'm sure the ownership/management group is prepared to move the pick if they get an offer they like. It might be a matter of a player someone else wants falling a little bit and still being available at 15, and then making a more attractive off than what they have heard so far. I don't think that the franchise has enough total assets to build a contender around QH, but by now we have established that the ownership/management group doesn't see the team development process the same way I do.

Yup, they don’t have the horses, plain and simple. What worries me are the dumb as shit waste of time moves they will make to try and get those quality assets around Hughes. In the meantime the asset pool or pipeline is getting awfully shallow or dry the more they try. It’s dismal

Funny, I share the same trepidations regarding Reschny. I’m hoping for Bear.

D-men Rasmus Andersson and Noah Dobson are apparently being shopped.

I have not seen him play, but that seems alot for JJ Peterka JJ. Mind you, he is obviously NHL ready, and he fits into Bedard's timeliness. Still, is Buffalo trying to suck forever?

Peterka wants out...this is why his name is out there

Everybody wants out of Buffalo. He’s a good player. His stats over the last two seasons have been impressive. We need offence up front in a bad way. Only 23 years old and has good size, not a Smurf like Tanti and Skriko and has a nose for goals, 27 this season, 28 last season. Could be what the doctor ordered for Scooter boi.

One player to watch is Tuch. He’s been linked to Vancouver as his wife is from Vancouver. Byram as well.

Multi player proposal:

Hronek for Byram
Lekkerimaki/2025 1st for Peterka
Silovs for Tuch

If you traded for Byram wouldn't the next trade be to move Hughes before making any other deals?

The blue line is much more able to deal with the loss of Hughes if Byram is a Canuck and the bounty you'd get for Hughes would mean that you wouldn't have to deal a Lekkerimaki and picks for a middling top 6 winger...

Not promoting moving Hughes, just saying that with Hughes and Byram on the roster one of them can be dealt....

Take care...

Good gawd. Why would you trade a top 4 RHD for a mid range LHD? Do you make trades just for the sake of making moves? Byram would be a good addition to our D corps. But at the cost of our top pairing RHD????? Talk about getting worse not better.

Breaking: Rangers have notifed the NHL that they are sending this year's 12th overall first-rounder to Pittsburgh to complete the JT Miller deal instead of deferring the transfer to 2026.

Canucks could’ve been drafting 12th and 15th overall this Friday.

But the excitement of that doesn’t compare to the excitement of O’Connor and Marcus Pettersson.
