    Imagine what Laine could do on a line with Stempniak! Make it happen Chevy, you can't mess up on him twice.

  • I think Morrissey makes the Jets this year. 

  • I'll refund double your registration fee.

Edmonton will definitely trade 4. Toronto Jets and CBJ aren't trading their picks tho.  No chance. Edmonton will guaranteed. Oilers don't need another young player. 

They will trade it to a team who offers them the best RHD they can get. 

Teams always need more young players...

Pick Dubois - develop him, Trade RNH or Eberle for a RHD...  their contracts are decent, great talent...

2015 draft considered very strong. 

McDavid Eichel Hanifin are the only guys in the top 10 who played in the nhl the entire year.Rantanen played like 3 games with Colorado and got sent to the ahl cuz he was eligible. 

This year... the top 3 are nhl ready... the rest aren't close 

 

Provorov and Werenski are way better than Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi and even they didn't play a nhl game this past season.

but why would it be fair?  Who would we be getting that would be so much better than Myers plus Dano (two first round picks BTW).

Well. We have forward depth. We have no LHD depth so I'd suspect we'd pick Juolevi or Sergachev or maybe Chychrun. The plus is all 3 are expansion exempt. We also have buff trouba on the right side. Not much after Morrissey on the left. We would then only have to protect the minimum 3 D in the possible expansion draft instead of all 4 of buff trouba myers enstrom. No move clauses and such force us to do that

Protect them from what?  Do you honestly think that one team (Vegas) is going to grab any of our guys?  Really?  I'd hate to trade people just out of fear of losing them potentially in an expansion draft. Anyway, I think Myers plus Dano for an unproven D man, just because he shoots left, is just plain dumb.  I would totally lose respect for Chevy if he did that.

I certainly agree with that, but we very likely (the expansion draft rules haven't been released yet) will lose a player, as the likely format is one player will be taken from each of the 30 teams.  That said, trading away proven talent doesn't make tons of sense.  If I see a prowler by the back window, I don't set my house on fire just to make sure he doesn't get anything of value.
