WildCard Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 (edited) I think a lot of the answer to this will make or break the RoR for a lot of posters. So, what do you think Botterill's plan is for these picks? Edit: How do I make the votes public? Edited July 2, 2018 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 He keeps one and trades the lowest as a part of a package for a winger in the 22-25yo range I actually like this idea. I know I'm raging about the ROR trade, but I can both continue to be angry and still get excited about the coming season with other moves. Watch him trade them both for Max Pacioretty :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted July 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 He keeps one and trades the lowest as a part of a package for a winger in the 22-25yo range This is exactly what I want. But that trade with how you described it doesn't happen until next summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think he uses them all. He might want to use them as trade chips for young players, but I don't see him finding a taker for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think he'll trade at least one. He may trade two. He'll keep at least one. I think Ottawa, a team that is about to lose Karlsson and has no 2019 1st round pick, would be an ideal trade partner for one of those picks. A first for a prospect of some kind. Or a prospect and taking Okposo as a cap dump. I could see swapping one of the 2019 firsts for a 2020 first just to spread things out a bit. He has a lot of options. Those extra picks are great tools. Are there other teams that don't have a 2019 1st next year that might want one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 I'm gonna lose it if this is really what happens Well let me put it to you like this. Would you trade Guhle for a late 1st? Teams aren't trade NHL-ready players on ELCs for late 1st round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that trade with how you described it doesn't happen until next summer Not necessarily, there were conditions placed on the 1st in the Kane Deal. The Jets got to the higher of the Minnesota and St Louis First Rounders, Botterill can put similar conditions on these picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not saying he'd solve our problems, I just pictured addressing our bottom six by things like that Armia trade, plus one like it for a Pageau, rather than using Ryan goddamn O'Reilly Edited July 2, 2018 by Randall Flagg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 We've got extra picks, considerable depth in the prospect pool, and cap flexibility. We are in a prime position to bid on whatever RFA shakes loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
