Iron Crotch Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Take Ekblad, trade Myers. We think alike in this regard. And, I think Big Tyler could get us a pretty good return in trade. :blink: Anyways, as for the draft, I'd rather take Drasaitl than Ekblad. Am I the only one in this camp? I like the Deutschland Dangler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Maybe Myers plus lands 3 from Ottawa, and then we could give Florida 3 and 1 using a second and a prospect to land the top two picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresBillsFan Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think Buffalo will stay at 2 but move two of those seconds to get another player they want in the first. Now refresh my memory I know we have the Islanders first next year but don't we have their second as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 No ####ing s### Sherlock. I asked which one. There's 4 of them. :censored: Me thinks Mt hope but victor would work nicely for both of us ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Me thinks Mt hope but victor would work nicely for both of us ;) See, I'd expect Winton as it is far bigger than Mt Hope and not too far from downtown. My luck, it'll be Greece. :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think Buffalo will stay at 2 but move two of those seconds to get another player they want in the first. Now refresh my memory I know we have the Islanders first next year but don't we have their second as well? Yep. And the Blues first. There is a good chance we will have five of the top 40 picks next year. This year we have four of the top 50. Last year we had six of the top 70, then traded for number 57 (Carrier).

thewookie1 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 May I ask why is Myers still being shopped by half the forum? Also, I don't care what Ottawa would give me for Myers (aside Karlsson), I wouldn't trade him within the division and preferably the conference if possible.

Also, I don't care what Ottawa would give me for Myers (aside Karlsson), I wouldn't trade him within the division and preferably the conference if possible. I wouldn't really want to move him either, but I'm sure it'll be considered. He's not the type of player that I would worry about moving within the division/conference. I don't think you can restrict yourself like that anymore. Edited June 6, 2014 by Tankalicious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree about the trading within your conference/division. If it improves your team you make the deal. That goes for futures too imo.

TrueBlueGED Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 There was a hotly discussed one between Buffalo and Vancouver not too long ago. Sort of. It was forward for forward, rather than forward for defense...and it wasn't blue chip prospect for blue chip prospect, both Hodgson and Kassian were at least a step and a half below that level. Personally, I would not be satisfied if we drafted Ekblad and then traded Myers/Ehrhoff for a second line player/prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 I totally agree about the trading within your conference/division. If it improves your team you make the deal. That goes for futures too imo. Not only that...if you think you are pulling the wool over someone....it works great. Look what Bledsoe did to the Bills! Myers in Toronto would be perfect.

Crusader1969 Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 i have no issue trading Myers or Ehrhoff in the right trade and drafting Ekblad - however you need to bring in a couple of vets to help show the kids the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Three weeks!! @WellsFargoCtr We're ready for the #NHLDraft June 27-28! Forward corps is the strength of this year's draft The forward group is the clear strength — and really, the only strength — of this year's draft class, and at Red Line Report, we believe that 18 of the top 20 overall selections will come from a relatively deep crop. With that said, the top-end grouping is still not as sexy as last year's star-studded class that included Jonathan Drouin, Nathan MacKinnon, Aleksander Barkov and Valeri Nichushkin. Frankly on pure talent alone, there's no one this year we would take over any of those four. So while it might not be a class for the ages, at Red Line, we're giving Sam Bennett the slight nod as the top dog. 6/6 CRAIG BUTTON ON WGR <17:41> Edited June 6, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the grand scheme of prospects, they weren't close to blue chip. This wasn't like trading Doughty for Toews (before they developed, obviously).

This wasn't like trading Doughty for Toews (before they developed, obviously). OK, but the original proposal involved trading Risto or Zadorov, presumably for a good forward prospect of similar vintage and potential. That's closer to Kassian-for-Hodgy (albeit sans a defenseman) than it is to Doughty for Toews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulFuture Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Not only that...if you think you are pulling the wool over someone....it works great. Look what Bledsoe did to the Bills! Myers in Toronto would be perfect. I'd like to see Buffalo leak out that they are leaning Ekblad. Use it as leverage with an Edmonton deal. I'd like Yak, but they'd probably dangle Eberle. Not sure though. Wouldn't be opposed to a 2nd overall and Ehrhoff for 3rd overall and Eberle. But, like I said, I'd prefer Yakopuv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
