So the rumors I've heard were Arizona was looking for a D in the draft. Now that Rags hold the spot does this mean maybe a guy like Heiskanen drops to 8?
I was thinking it would be no. However, there has been speculation by guys like Dreger that the Sabres are in on a lot of the activity. Dreger usually has knowledgeable sources. I'm now leaning towards yes.
Liljegren seems to be the name I keep seeing out of the top 3 D that may be available at 8.
Anyone have a strong opinion either way? How close is he to NHL ready? Are we seeing him (realistically) max out as a top 2 guy? Top 4?
Kane and 8 to Vegas for 13, 15 and Colin Miller.
That gives Vegas 6 and 8 in an attempt to move up to a top 3 pick if that really is what they covet.
*I'd love to see Kane in Vegas lol.
It can't be that hard to make a balanced schedule. It really can't. I hope the non-Saturday requests didn't come from the Sabres. Talk about alienating your southern Ontario ticket base.
How come I've seen Makar outside of the top 5 in so many projected lists? Serious question. I'm not as up this year on the draft. Is it really just that the top 12 picks or so are just so wide open with not much separating them?
So this now makes sense why Ennis was protected. Adding the 6th wasn't all that kept Vegas from ullmark. I bet part of that deal also included carier being exposed. They were likely never taking Ennis.
