I think he reads our board!Interestingly enough, Pronman released his latest mock this morning and has us taking Solberg at 16.
That would be huge reach. I like the kid, and if you think he is best guy on board take him, but I have a couple d still on his board at this point I like much better (freij, brunicke, and emery).Interestingly enough, Pronman released his latest mock this morning and has us taking Solberg at 16.
I would like to get at least a couple dmen but really not super worried about it. There are holes that need to be filled all over the roster and these guys wont be helping for quite some time so position is secondary to me, I just want guys who they see as NHL playersWhat kind of prospect mix would you like to see in the first 3 rounds and then overall?
I would like to see 3 D hopefully 2 playing the right side and two forwards hopefully a center and another plus skater with size.
He had Emery going 30th but neither Freij or Brunicke in the 1st at all. I take all mocks with a giant grain of salt but Pronman is usually more accurate than most at least in my judgment the last few seasons. I know some others would view Freij as a reach at our pick as well but I like him too so wouldn't be upset about it. I haven't had a chance to learn much about Brunicke yet.That would be huge reach.

Man if they got a good player at 16 and then circle back to get Freij later, I’d be ecstatic. Package and trade up.

Sometimes I think the mocksters just stick you with guys without looking at your talent pool so the guy they want on their primary team is part of their mock.He had Emery going 30th but neither Freij or Brunicke in the 1st at all.

But seriously, I want them to take BPA. My preference is that BPA leans more D heavy this year but I’ll be a little annoyed if they take D with clearly better forwards still on the board.*
*knowing full well BPA is an opinion and in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah this is my concern as well. Saw a couple Norway game from the WJC and loved what I saw. The Czechia game the other day was phenomenal, obviously. But other than that I haven’t seen him play a ton. Maybe I’m missing his bad games and only seeing the upside?You’re not crazy. Not sure I could justify using that high of a pick on him but that’s mostly because I haven’t been able to see too much of him. Not like Norwegian pro league games are available on tv. And it’s such a non-typical path, it’s hard to evaluate guys in that type of league. But if the Blues target him and “reach” on him a bit, I wouldn’t bat an eye. Of what I’ve seen, I don’t see why he wouldn’t be considered in the same tier as Friej, Badinka etc.

i'd like a c and 3 d, at least 2 of which are rhd, within the first 3 rounds. after that i'd like us to take a goalie sometime round 4 or later. and i wouldn't draft any d under 6'in 1st round unless i felt them truly exceptional, because if you are fox or makar it doesn't matter how tall you are. but if you are anyone else your size limits you more than I am comfortable spending a high pick on.What kind of prospect mix would you like to see in the first 3 rounds and then overall?

there's nobody worth paying both to move up for (aside from top few who you couldn't get)..Let’s say we can trade Buch for 15th.
Question: would you pair that with our 16th and try to move up or keep both and make the picks? And if you do use them to move up, how high do you think you can get?

I wouldn't be willing to trade both, but I'd certainly be willing to see if we could slide up into the 12ish range using our 2nd if see a guy sliding we want to grab.Let’s say we can trade Buch for 15th.

No, don’t think I’d want to trade both unless there’s a can’t miss guy still available.Let’s say we can trade Buch for 15th.
