Here we go! LETS GO!!!

The Draft hasn't officially begun until Bettman gets booed.

I want to see some reaches in the 10-14 range

[Francis Park Thug]

I am a little disappointed I thought the blues would unload Faulk or Leddy for some draft capital. I know it still can happen I just thought it would be done if it was going to happen… curious what they’re worth? 2nd/3rd idk

Would you give up a 2nd or 3rd for Leddy? Of course not.

[seattleblue]

I am glad this player is going East. What a defenseman this kid is

Why were you expecting this? Seems unreasonable. Leddy isn’t super needed anymore but until they actually upgrade Faulk’s position, they better not send him anywhere.

I think we have internal replacements that’ll step up. If we are dangling Kyrou why can’t Faulk or Leddy be traded and you think we can’t get a 2nd or 3rd for them?

What internal option do we have to replace Faulk at 2RD? Kessel?? I’m not sure he’s even a viable option for 3RD.

Leddy’s trade value is pretty much nothing, perhaps negative. He’s a 3rd pairing caliber d-man that was injured most of last season that makes $4M. You can find a 3rd pairing LD for a lot less in free agency.

Faulk plays RD which is a premium position and he’s not as bad as some make him out to be but we have absolutely nobody to replace him currently.

Everything is an emotional letdown after that

[theograce]

I’m leaking badly

I’ve never been much of an Isles fan but might be hard not to root for this kid. Holy emotions Batman.

+1 I could root for a Louless Isles

As someone who lost his mom to cancer, I really feel for Schaefer as I know that horrible feeling. Seems like a super great young man. Will be rooting for him.

Hey Stl in Minny. If we somehow traded with NJ for J Kovacevic where would he fit in our defensive paintings?

[JoshInFenton]

Leddy is someone you could probably get value for in the later stages of the season as a solid veteran option to secure defensive depth in the playoffs, but dealing him now is pretty much negative value. I was under no illusion that we would deal him during the draft for draft picks here, i think it's more likely that the blues make a move that includes him going back to even the salary given his term. i'd kinda expect the blues to move him now (free agency window and offseason, not during the draft) and not worry about value maximization given that leddy probably only nets you around a 5th-6th round pick, you'd only wait if it got you a 2nd-3rd and he'll never get that back.

[seattleblue]

Man with Dickinson that wretched team may be back soon. Misa was the right pick

[zamadoo]

I'd really like for the Hawks to not select Desnoyers.

[Harry S Deals]

The Sharks won't be able to pay all these guys when the time comes

[seattleblue]

Man I should have stuck to Frondell 3d like way back when lol. MN's mock is on track!

Frondell vs. Dvorsky is going to be a thing ...
