I mean, what does Mike Babcock know about judging talent anyway...right?

Windsor Star, 1 year ago last week

that's awesome that Babcock thinks that - knowing this, there's only one thing to do - trade Enstrom to Toronto - RIGHT NOW

That';s a very interesting though actually.  ofcourse this implies we somehow get Hamonic to replace Trouba.  But even if the Jets pick, say 4th, do you do the deal?  Perhaps with Edmonton adding?

So Burmi and Enstrom instead of Trouba?

Would you make that deal if you had the 1st?

5th-7th pick in the draft and Enstrom and Burmi for 1st overall?

no of course I wouldn't make that deal.  That's like asking me for $20 and then making me take out your garbage and mow your lawn.  But it sounds like Babcock might do that deal if Toronto got the first.

Nobody is making either of these trades.

Sure would be great if Chevy trades Ladd today so we can stop with these imaginary deals and lineups.

well then what in hades are you talking about?

what are you talking about?  Giving up Trouba or Myers just to move up a few spots in the draft is just crazy talk.  Loony tunes.

I'd trade the 4th and Myers for 1st....Trouba and 4th I'd have to think about but would probably still do it.

You dont think Edmonton would consider trading the 1st for a 5th and Trouba?

Loony tunes to pick up Matthews?

this is kind of a moot point unless we all agree on who would go first overall.  Who is the hottest prospect this year?

Matthews who?

I think it is universally agreed that Matthews will go first...

FYP. And, yes. Loony Tunes.

this would be after the picks were determined...

ok - why?  Who? 

everyone.........most say he would have gone before Eichel last year.

whoopity do.  Whoever this kid you are talking about is, not giving up Trouba to move up to get him. 

you haven't heard of Matthews?

seriously?

So people are basically fine with trading Trouba and Matthew Tkachuk for Auston Matthews...  brilliant.

I would.

nope.

Oh wait, I think I saw him playing for the US at the World Juniors.  Looked good, but not good enough to give up Trouba or Myers to get him.  Sorry.

You shouldn't have used the plural.  Just one person.

This guy appears to be ranked ahead of Matthews on some sites.  Never heard of him either.

I still don't understand why Kyle Connor wasn't on that US world Junior team.  Makes no sense.
