They don't.

Any scouting staff that didn't value Zach Benson, was stupid, is stupid, and shall forever be stupid.

I'm unsure what his current injury is. I think it's separate from his stress fracture. The thing is, a healthy McQueen might have been in the running for 1st overall. You'd have to really dig into those medicals because 6'5" centers with his package of skills are rare.

NJ has extra RHDs

He didn't have an Achilles rupture either. It was cut by a skate. Good news is at 9, he's still another yr in Jr's and an ahl season away at minimum.

I don't think SJ would. If Chicago thinks Misa is really good, I could see it. They'd have to jump sj at minimum.

Hard to tell how they'll operate without a GM. They could trade back to 3 and still get Hagens. No idea what a trade like that would look like.

It's just so unlikely to work that smoothly. Also Tage is a ppg guy and Buffalo wasn't near the playoffs. Those picks you're counting on will be 18, 19yr olds. We already know that one is probably 2-3yrs away from nhl games and the other unless they win the lottery, is the same. I'm not convinced Eichel signs there just like Kane never signed here.

Tavares left, they have that in their minds.

They won't. That team is a patchwork of players. They'll need 3-4yrs to fix it.

So... Staal isn't even moving here, he's just gonna be in and out of town from what's being speculated. What nonsense this is.

1. Schaefer 2. Misa 3. Frondell 4. Desnoyers 5. Hagens 6. Martin 7. O'Brien 8. Martone 9. McQueen 10. Mrtka Unlikely impo. I think McQueen makes a ton of sense because they are very aware of the guys they have.

Hmm. Idk, I think Frondell and Desnoyers are really liked by teams. McQueen, Smith are wild cards. It could happen, his U18 performance was dominate so maybe Martin does go early. Really is awful we dropped 2 more spots.
