I don't know I have a feeling Eklund is going to be best of this draft. Biggest problem I have with taking power/berniers they are playing on a very strong team. I think in few years neither will be the best forward or defenseman in this draft.

Eklund - Hughes.

I'm hoping they take eklund.

I don't know, just meant to say if our track record is bad, and we don't know what to do, he might turn out to be a 4RW ?

So lets basically turn this assumption into Quinn. My eye test of him says he will be a middle six at least, maybe 1RW (hoping for a 50 a point mark stone type). But buffalo analytics track record has him as a 4RW ? How far back do we go, because I really always thought our drafting got better in the Botteril years.

Mark stone ceiling if we are lucky.

Personally I would take Eklund 1st , but who knows.

That is our view, most teams know he 'll recover, right now its a bidding war for a few more days. Adams trying to get as much out of it as he can in my view. The 6 pieces mentioned he won't get , but he should get 4 at least.

I don't think the injury matters all that much tbh.

https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2530783 no newhook though, but at least its not as bad as most proposals I see. But Newhook should always be included.

I was toying around and thinking what an Islanders trade would look like figuring Barzal would be off limits. 2022 1st + Mayfield + sorokin + Bailey + holmstrom. Not really the best offers, that 2022 1st is most likely late - Mayfield is good RD to replace Risto and Sorokin gives us a goalie. Bailey is good top 6 and can help out our young centers, I picked holmstrom but can add in any other prospect seeing they don't have much I like, maybe push for Wahlstrom here.

the best 😛

He is gone this weekend to anaheim for Zegras 1st, comtois and Gibson. Reinhart and Skinner for Kings 1st, turcotte, vilardi and doughty. Ristolainen to Columbus for a goalie or penguins for a 1st in 2022.

Yeah, can still trade him for more after.

With a name like that you just can't go wrong 😛

Verthongen and Vermaelen are 34 and 33 , doubt they last until 2024. We do have some kids coming up, but the gap between this and their generation is to big.

going to anaheim for zegras 1st and gibson. Not really sure I want byfield tbh.

yeah bit gutted, but when you start with your main players injured and to be honest was at work didn't watch a single minute. Some say we deserved more but I guess it was a pretty even game. We got one more shot then our defense and this generation is done.

I think nashville wants to protect 4 D.

was thinking the same.

we'll see, depends on our break outs being succesful. Thielemans is a good player in Leicester , but he doesn't connect with Lukaku well. Hope our coach puts in Jeremy Doku.

Ok I missed on Sweden too Let me try this again. Friday 2 July QF1: Switzerland vs Spain (18:00, St Petersburg) 2-4 QF2: Belgium vs Italy (21:00, Munich) 2-1 ( Going to be rough game probably without Debruyne and Hazard) Saturday 3 July QF3: Czech Republic vs Denmark (18:00, Baku) 1-2 QF4: Ukraine vs England (21:00, Rome) 1-4

well I missed on Croatia - spain and England - Germany so far 🙂

Yeah I said the swiss are hard to beat, that penatly miss nearly killed them though. But as for me saying Spain can't score, they are growing in this tournament, and playing nice combination football. As for our game against portugal - Our defense was ok but we didn't deserve the win. That being said, the referee was really bad, portugal was allowed to kick us of the field, I knew it would be hard fought game.

Italy was bad, their first bad game. Maybe the opponents in group stage were to easy for them. Denmark with the easy victory as I expected. As for tomorrow come to think of it, I think the dutch get their first real opponent , if they get to confident they will lose easy.
