Will he be there at 14?

Mesmerizing

What are the odds we take a left shot D lol

Draft is fun at least, always is

So if you could evaporate 14 and Kulich into thin air and be guaranteed a playoff spot you wouldn’t do it?

I doubt we trade the first. I feel like we COULDN’T / WOULDN’T trade the one we had, but there’s probably a more modest deal that may require a second, so we pick up an extra one for a small sacrifice and use that second in a trade

It’s fine to do this, you just have a choice between the lesser of two evils, missing the playoffs or dealing with a potential rental, and deem missing the playoffs to be preferable

First big surprise edit - at least to him

I said before, I’d honestly be suprised if we don’t So voted yes

And it’s Matt Irwin driving the van

Particularly for a team so adamant on tailoring the social media experience. It MIGHT not mean anything but it’s not a great sign imo I mean, we also have the context of Adams saying, “golly gee I was working on stuff and it fell through”, AND past precedent the move doesn’t necessarily mean anything negative but it makes sense to be skeptical now

Agree it’s like they’ve moved on to plan B options already having said that they prob swing a deal for McDavid at 2:24

they’ve gotten into the nicknames already lol officially worried

Deja vu

I’d be pretty surprised too if we didn’t see one

That too, and I’m tired of hijacking this thread so I’ll bow out (sorry, just trying to quote those quoting me) @SDS thanks dude

Thanks for the follow up. Ya I’ve always questioned my pro-stance on reading down because you’ve disagreed with me in the past on it and i know you know more about the draft than me

Ok. Maybe I’m in the wrong space if I’m annoying people by remembering past threads I could have never written for Star Wars, I retain too much continuity

I didn’t “dig up” anything. I asked in good faith because we’ve talked about this many times. I’m sorry you don’t remember our conversations like I do? I’m legitimately interested in understanding peoples opinions. I actually commit your comments to memory because I value them honestly I candidly find it sort of telling that “remembering other people’s viewpoints that they’ve painstakingly taken the time time derail” is seen as odd behaviour

Because I remember almost eveything I have a photographic memory Sorry, do you have an issue that I remembered it? I also remembered it because I’ve always been a big proponent of trading down and always got a lot of pushback and never any support on it

Mentioned trading 13 actually for this reason

Have you shifted your stance on this? I’ve always gotten a hard time for supporting this

I guess Draft Pick 11 didn’t want to be here

We’ve made 30 picks the last 3 drafts. We can’t just go up and make all the picks this year, we really can’t
