What you're saying is we don't have a Connor so he doesn't want to come here?

okay I went and looked up Jiricek's draft profile on 3 places. Skating stride needs work, not enough knee bend, and pace of play was a criticism. Now having a knee injury, could come back with a far improved stride and maybe pace will pick up. That said, Michael Brandsegg-Nygård! lol, I am locked into this schtick now.

did he? but did he?

Didn't he sign Darnell Nurse to that absurd contract?

Who knows!?!? Dude hasn't played since December.

TBH, I don't think I know more about the draft than anyone in particular. I just have more opinions about the draft, if that makes sense.

It depends on where you are in the draft. Top 5, no it almost never makes any sense to pick up an extra 2nd and move down. Drafting 1st overall and getting say pick 37 to move back to pick 4 or something doesn't make sense in my mind.

Depends on the draft, what you get, how far you move down, etc. The draft value drops quick as you move back in the first round.

You dug up a post from 3 years ago? In this draft, yes it is fine. This draft is a bit odd and also, it depends on if they use that asset they got to improve the team now. I think trading down from 11 to 14 is very different than trading from 9 to 11 if that makes sense. In this particular draft however, I think there is a tier from about 8-16ish maybe even 18, so it doesn't bother me much.

This, right here, is the biggest concern with Nygard.

Trouba wants to stay in NY for family reasons. Dreger mentioned in on WGR earlier today, so I am not convinced Buffalo would be on that list. Nice short and direct flight from Buffalo to NYC.

If Adams made this trade the draft guys have already assured him that at 11 or 14 the options present similar upside.

Hello, do you have moment to talk about Michael Brandsegg-Nygård

This tweet doesn't make sense to me. Jiricek and Emery will almost guaranteed be there at 14.

But you also get another swing at pick 42. If they don't trade anything (I just do not believe that at all now) then you moved from 11 to 14 but also get an extra swing in round two at pick 42. Who might drop to 42 and 43? Lots of options in that range if I am being truthful.

My dream is alive!

I think they want Eiserman at 11 to play with his friend Celebrini

Value wise in the draft, this is a good trade.

If you need to attach a 2nd round pick to move Skinner...
