'Pretty' decent...said in Bubbles voice..

DL Corney and OL Couture...pretty decent picks!

Looks about right...I'd prefer Dano over Burmistrov and rotate Thorburn with Lipon.

Not sold on Chychrun, his stock has taken a bit of a hit as of late.

You listed Little twice...or is that an adjective for Perrault?

Man I will be super jacked if we get Laine...he looks really good out there.

That's the thing though...that's what training camp is for, see who will fill those roles. Roll the dice, see if what you have can atleast do the job. I'd rather see that than sign a few vets just to bide the time. Otherwise it's one step forward two back.

Handed to them? Really? Who was available that was that much better at the time? You can't be afraid of rolling the dice once in a while. Maybe we should let Connor or Laine "ripen" in the AHL too just since that"s how you're " supposed" to do it. Sign some over rated vets to fill in, in the mean time.

I been pronouncing it "Lane"...but apparently it's "Lie-On-Nay"...who woulda thunk

Myers is young and cheap, we'd be stupid to trade him. Package Enstrom, Dano and Burmistrov...and our 5th rounder. Who cares if it's a LHD or RHD...defensemen do play their off wing not the first time.

Tlusty and Stempniak were rental players and nothing else. What good does it do to sign them to contracts that would not have been cap friendly or worth it for the long term. Chevy lets players ripen in the AHL if need be. Not the case all the time like with Trouba and Ehlers. Schiefele did that but it was known when we drafted him that'd happen.

Laine is more of a pure goal scorer which is why I see Chevy taking him...that and even though he shoots right, is used to playing LW.

I don't think it's a case of rushing youngsters into the lineup as it is there not being a clear cut better option. Chevy isn't about to trade to fill those spots with vets. It's a part of his process. We had vet presence with Wheeler, Ladd, Little, Perrault and Stafford. Seemed as good of a time to ease them into the lineup and weather some growing pains. Meanwhile guys like Petan, Lipon and Morrisey were kept back and not rushed in because it was obvious they weren't ready. I trust the coaches won't just throw Connor or Laine or any other youngster into the fire if they feel strongly that it will just backfire on them.

Ehlers-Schiefele-Wheeler Perrault-Little-Laine Connor-Lowry-Armia Dano-Copp-Lemieux

You don't have to distribute players, best line combos are on the ice.

I will puke if it's Pavelec over Hellebuyck. I could see Morrisey over Stuart...

Connor over Ehlers aint gonna happen...

We don't need a centre...Schiefele, Little, Lowry and Copp are good. We need a guy like Laine to be a second line scoring threat on the wing.

Myers is young and contract friendly so no

TBH I almost prefer a natural goal scorer with size on the wing...

Some decent D-men to be had with our second 1st round pick...

Ehlers-Schiefele-Wheeler Connor-Little-Laine Damn that looks sexy...

"Making adjustments on the fly-at a high tempo.." That...alone made it worth reading

A INT is an INT...most come off tips
