If the rumors of the 2 Anaheim deals being offered is one around Zegras and one around 3OA I hope they take he Zegras deal and then try to flip Sam to Columbus for 5OA+.  If they really do want Eklund I think there is a really strong chance he is there at 5.

 

Power, Eklund, Zegras+ is a really nice reset to add to the young core.

I agree with you that if one of the proposed offers from Anaheim is Zegras plus secondary players or 3OA and other secondary players then I would prefer the Zegras trade. In this scenario I would be ecstatic to get Zegras and maybe Comtois for Jack. It would be a good situation for Jack to get a fresh start and the Sabres would add to their roster contributing young players with upside.

I have no idea. I really think finding goaltenders is the most important issue . 

 

The first player picked doesnt always always turn into best player. Here is 2013, do you think the teams choosing got it right? 

#1Colorado Avalanche Nathan MacKinnon (F)9573210350560234

#2Florida Panthers Aleksander Barkov (F)952918128446598

#3Tampa Bay Lightning Jonathan Drouin (F)839369163232144

#4Nashville Predators Seth Jones (D)958065221286194

#5Carolina Hurricanes Elias Lindholm (F)9581139228367140

#6Calgary Flames Sean Monahan (F)9591204235439129

#7Edmonton Oilers Darnell Nurse (D)840645112157352

#8Buffalo Sabres Rasmus Ristolainen (D)954246199245291

#9Vancouver Canucks Bo Horvat (F)8502139175314148

#10Dallas Stars Valeri Nichushkin (F)

 

 

Tampa should have taken Seth Jones but they turned out fine

It was someone on another board who has a source so take it with a grain of salt.  It was that Anaheim was offering two trade packages: one centred around Zegras+Other pieces and  the other around 3OA+Other pieces. Adams was hoping for both Zegras+ 3OA+.

If they don't get  Zegras and the 3rd they should close shop this is absolutely ridiculous

Then don't read those threads. Some of us actually are invested in the draft. 

Point is there will be people who will most likely will not agree with our moves. If we pick Power first overall or a forward there will be some who will voice disagreement. Same with any trades or no trades.

""I think he's better than people think that he is," Hardy said on the Blackhawks Talk Podcast in June. "I hear a lot about how there's no generational player in this draft. Owen Power is special. You could see it at the Worlds."

😄

Who says we aren't getting a generational guy at 1?

Power is berserko Riso, elite hockey sense, plus skating and elite vision.  IMO he's only scratched the surface of what he can become.

Eklund has better hockey sense and vision, and is a better skater. Considering he was undersized playing against men, he's only just scratched the surface of what he could become.

11 goals in 40 games in the swedish league? Elite skating, vision and hockey sense should result in more production for a winger... shouldn't it?   I love his package of skill, skating and hockey sense... but his lack of production is a concern IMO.
