I wish we wouldn't have overachieved this year and we would be in a lottery position. The Devils, Isles and lots of teams who should be ahead of us just keep losing. We have four scoring right wingers , TK, Tippett,Foerester and Brink and Michkov coming..they are all or project to be first or second line guys, there isn't enough room for all of them.
Considering the rebuild, etc, if we could trade TK at the draft for the pick that would get Dickinson or Lidstrom, I would seriously think about it. It would probably have to be 5th or 6th. I would also hope to get an additional asset for TK,.maybe TK and Fla pick for #5/6 pick and another good young player. Then with our own pick we can land a dman if we pick Lindstrom or vice versa. Or if we drop all the way to #12, we can trade that and somebody else to move up to 5 or 6.
The question is who. Would someone take Our pick ,FLAs pick and Brink for the # 5/6? Or maybe Drysdale and our pick for #5/6 and we also get something else. I'm not sold on Drysdale, he's the Nolan Patrick of defenseman.
We need to get an impact player this year, we are way behind in this rebuild, especially at center and defense, we have good wingers...
