Flyers grab Porter Martone. That sucks, we will hate playing against him. That’s why you be proactive. Go get him instead of sitting on your hands, Dubas.

I hate this format. The draft in Vegas at the Sphere was one of the cooler off the ice things they’ve done, insane they completely 180’d and moved in this direction. Seems there are a lot of people within the NHL grumbling about it. Doubt it sticks

Dont try to copy other leagues, make it your own. The yearly draft at the Sphere in Vegas would be sick.

Today could be a generational day for the Penguins. Today could be a “we let the players come to us” kind of day. I think Dubas has to be aggressive today and fight for quality over quantity. The longer you let the train off the train tracks, the harder it is to get back on course. If we draft two development guys who are 2-3 years each, you are talking about a pretty long term rebuild that has no promise of success.

Im targeting the #4 pick. Its likely that Misa is there. He’s the kind of guy you go get. It will be expensive, I’d personally move Rakell and Rust for the right deal to attract more assets. Yohe said today he doesnt see a scenario where Dubas moves both 1sts to move up for one pick.

With the #12 pick, I’m letting the first 6-7 picks play out. I have a feeling one of Martone or Hagens falls. I think teams will prioritize center and Hagens seems to be the odd guy out in recent weeks. Moving from 12 to 7/8 wouldnt be as expensive, you could probably do it with our 2nd/3rd picks over the next few years.

I dont want us to pick at 11 and 12 and have Dubas say that they were patient and let the picks fall to them. That’s BS imo. Dont let this team fall into the constant rebuild trap.

You draft two high end guys tonight, likely you are still pretty poor next year. Get these two guys tonight, get a good pick next season, and all of a sudden, you have your next generational core.

Gentlemen – Im back. Took a little for me to get registered here, but glad a number of you have come over as well. Seems like HockeyBuzz is dying. Less and less blogs and less and less comments on those blogs.

Someone on HockeyBuzz posted the following trade for Pittsburgh/Chicago:

Karlsson (50% retained)
Rakell
#11

for

#3
#25

My first thought was it wasnt a terrible offer.
