No can do. The Ghost of Reinhart became more powerful than we can possibly imaging and now will return to provide exposition and identify familial linkages heretofore unknown by the players. This draft-eligible in 2022 Jack Hughes NOT is the Jack Hughes that's already in the NHL nor is he apparently related to any of the Hughes brothers. dun-dun-DUNH!

Lee-vi-y?

Start reading up on Wright, Lambert, and Savoie

When we get to the later rounds, the criteria for drafting will become: "Well... he was a Third Star in one of the World Juniors games... we see a lot of potential there."

So... our scouting department really just watched the World Juniors and said, "these guys." And the Worlds for Power.

At the trade deadline, we'd expect a first and a prospect. For an entire season of Reinhart, including the ability to deal him at the deadline, it should be more than this.

Reino before the trade: "If you trade me, Sheevyn, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Reino in trade limbo: "Hello there. Anyone? Where in blazes am I?... Hello there. Echo!"

These preceding three picks before ours have been disheartening.

I don't think Stankoven makes it that far. Though... we could package some of our numerous picks to move up some spots.

Quite possibly an Imperial security droid like a K-2S0.

From his hockeywriters profile: https://thehockeywriters.com/prokhor-poltapov-2021-nhl-draft-prospect-profile/ "Once the puck is on his stick in the defensive zone, he skates it forward with impressive confidence and will try to turn every defensive zone exit into an odd-man opportunity or a fast break up the ice." I like this quality. Always be attacking. [Edit: Of course, his overconfidence could be his undoing and lead to lots of turnovers.]

They had to wait for the Reinhart trade to be... no... still nothing? Alright whatever. Move along.

This trade is the like the space chase scene in The Last Jedi. They're moving super fast... but at the same speed... in the endless expanse of space. They might as well not be moving at all.

That Simpsons scene always fascinates me because Grampa's slippers are the same color as the carpet. It looks like he stomps in... his feet become stumps... and then his feet regrow.

I care.

GM Sheevyn's 10-year coup began with the secret construction of a BuffaStar capable of winning an entire Stanley Cup. I mean... it's not designed to withstand a small one-man fighter shooting a puck past an undefended goal.... This, maybe?

It appears the unresolved overnight Reinhart to Florida thread stole all of Power's... power.

You mean to offer sheet someone and lose a top-5 pick in the 2022 draft when Wright, Lavoie, etc. are available?

Scene: The Millennium KBC's immaculate locker room. <Jack Eichwalker twists a handle on the bubble hockey table. There is no player on the opposite side.> Eichwalker: I can't believe he's gone. K-P0S0 shakes his head, Ras2, Ras3, and Arttu all beep in consolation. <Zem' Solo rushes in> Zem: Come on, buddy, you're not out of this yet!

Nah. Once you make the pick you fall for the pick. The time to trade Eichel was before the first round picks were made. I thought that we could trade Eichel for just as much as Yoda. I was wrong.

He's a ppg U20 on team Sweden, so a top line guy. He needs to bulk up and fill out. Definitely a longer-term project. In 3 years, hopefully he suddenly appears as a 3RW who scores like a 2RW.

Hey now, you're on planet Earth. Not Tatootine.

I've gotta justify Rosen as our pick... but yes. I think you're right. Chaz... it's a goofy name... but he's a scorer.

Rosen played about [edit: 5] minutes/game on a crummy Leksands SHL team. But Scouching has him at 5 chances per game. He'll get better. Is he a reach? Yes, a bit. But he's only low scoring because he was deployed like Rob Ray was deployed.

That's just it. If you've got a "sure thing" with Power, you take a flier risk on the 2nd first-rounder.
