seems Blackhawks have 4 choices. Silayev, Levshunov, Demidov, Lindstrom. I have no idea where they will untimately go with that #2 pick. They can use all of them so it makes it tough to figure what they will do.

Larry was right, looks like Shakir will be a solid NHL defenseman with top 4 upside. Devils come away happy with Meier, terrific asset management.

Very interesting show. The Wings will get a really good player at 15 and I hope they draft a winger. As Devin said, maybe one that plays opposite of Raymond. I personally would take Eiserman if he's available. On a separate note, i just started hearing rumors of a Laine trade and if i were SY, I'd take a chance on him, as he could be taken for cheap and we all know Stevie can steal. The draft and what surrounds it is one of the funnest times of the hockey year.

Good show, fellows! I'm ambivalent about mock drafts because they're fun and interesting, but on the other hand, they always break down, especially once you get down past the first few picks.

Personally, I'm hoping for the Utah Outlaws.

I know that people are slow to forgive things but I think Trevor Connelly is a top 5 talent in this draft and I think the kid deserves a second chance. He made a stupid immature mistake and has made every effort to make up for it. You can't ruin the rest of his life for sharing a post and if it were not for that, he would probably be gone in the top 5 but will most likely be sitting there when we pick so take a chance.

Utah's strategy: If they're really bad this season, then they won't have to change the jerseys to join the PWHL.

Go wings

Markstrom did start in Florida and then was traded for Luongo

How can Saros or Ullmark coming with extensions prior to the draft when Nashville & Boston cant even extend the players themselves until July 1. Risky trade with either if they decide they either want more $$$$ to extend or change their minds about staying in Ottawa. Risk of a 1 year rental. At least with Markstrom, you get 2 years & know what you get. He would be the best goalie since Anderson Ottawa has had. Doubt Flames want to part with #9, #28 probably sure but the #7 would probably force Conroy to retain 25-50% on Markstrom + take on Joseph, or force him to take #7, Korpi & Joseph with no retention for Markstrom & the #28. A deal could be had. Flames have 19 players signed & no expensive players to sign & $21.0 mill of cap space. That could be a valuable piece to find a mutual deal.

Maybe this 7, 25 , pinto and Koposalo to Boston Ullmark to Boston U have to sweeten it for Boston to take back koposalo

You have to be very naive to think the players are giving honest answers versus answers the teams want to hear.the combine means absolutely nothing. Scouts and managers need to understand what they are looking at when looking at young players how they think heads up or not board battles perimeter players versus net drivers there are sooooo many things to look at. When comes to big or small it depends how you play if you are small and play a small game your a low ceiling player..Then we have someone like Josh Anderson he looks on paper like star but he is a DUMB player so size doesn't matter at all if your hockey IQ is low.

Get a Russian goaltender.

How come nobody ever gives Tugnut any love. He was a consistent goalie

That special show (combine reaction) is one of the best of the year, tanks to follow the combine as you do.

Hell No to Chychrun and the 25th. We NEED a RD for Chicky! Best goalie in the league would suck in Ottawa with the piss poor defence they have. They need defensive DMan! Way too many "puck movers" and nothing on the right side.

In the games that I watched, I'd keep Parker Kelly.

This team is a mess

Gus the bus was good for 1 season on a strong defensive team. Last season he crapped the bed. Brossoit is projected by AFP analytics to get $2,138,627 on a 2 year contract. If you can trade forsberg somewhere you could most likely sign Brossoit for 2.5 and still free up cap. So no you don't have to trade Korpi to get Brossoit. How do you pay Saros when his contract is up. People have been reporting That Nashville is actually trying to sign Saros again for at least a couple of weeks now. Reports are his agent is waiting for Shesterkin re-signs in NY. He is expected to go for around 12 to 12.5 million. The rumors are that Saros and his agent want at least 75 to 80% of that contract as a starting point for his. That comes in around 9 to 10 million. How do you fit that into the sens cap the season after with the cap going up by an estimated 4 million? You are going have to shed players to fit him in. They already have 5 guys at around 8 million and they are having trouble fitting in Pinto's contract. Hint: Last years playoffs final 4 teams all had something in common. None had over 4 players with 8 million plus cap hit. And Vegas still had to use LTIR. Keep that up, and you become the Leafs. Top heavy contract load and no supporting cast.

Ullmark for Chychrun (one for one trade) is the limit Sens should pay for him, unless Ullmark signs a new contract. Bruins ask is absolutely insane, especially since goalies don't historically go for much. Bruins are asking a player of Chychrun caliber, a first round pick, plus another selection. I mean, cmon' he's their backup goaltender at the tail end of their contract.

Bergren doesnt play any D, his trade value is high. STEVIE Y is gonna flip him for a RD...

whats Simmer talking about Chabot making 10 million. He makes 8 million. Big difference.

Ottawa should make an offer to Alexander Carrier.

I’m surprised The Archers never seemed to be considered for Utah. It’s really unique, could have really cool logos, and would connect geographically to Arches National Park.

How about trading #15 overall, Berggren, Johanson, and maybe next year's 1st for Marner??

Can you confirm Harrisson Brunicke height at 5'10'' vs 6'3''? typo? from 2024 NHL Combine Heights & Weights Mark Scheig

Yeah not a lot of hope for Staois. Doesn’t have the experience to get things done. The team is a mess right now. Only hope is the coaching staff can get the guys playing for each other.

Good solid discussion, thanks

I’m a little worried about Giroux leaving or dropping off. He’s huge in Ottawa and needs to be replaced at one point. Also with Norris injury we could move him to the wing and have him and Norris as our second line future.

It's good to hear lots of talk about youth finally moving into the Wings lineup. Finally this should be the year when we'll see young guys getting a chance to show their stuff, I hope to see some moving up and down from GRG to DRW to give them a look. I would be most interested to see Cossa, what he can do. And finally I really hope Edvinsson makes his mark. Interesting show, as usual.

Good show as usual, gentlemen and thanks for bringing Mr. Rinaldi on board for this one. So much of the Wings future rests with the players coming up through Grand Rapids and this show helped me understand how far along some of the talent has developed. Can't wait to see Kasper in the winged wheel. Go Wings!

The Ottawa Senators need to be smart and creative for the off-season trades, saying that Sean Walker Rd Def. might be a nice add to the team at the right price. I would consider Martin Jones as a good backup Goalie at a cheap price.- $950,000. Warren Foegele would be a solid winger at a cheap price. And last maybe Mattias Janmark at the right price. Good luck Ottawa in the season -save cap space.

Oilers in 6

You need players like Catton and Demidov to take you to the playoffs, then add size to balance the forwards.

Helenius is a better center than Celebrini?

Levshunov isn't ready for the NHL. He is likely 2 years away, minimum.

Is there a way to watch the combine?

Glad to see Simmer is doing well!

I thought lindstrom had back issues. But anyway, great talk. Nice job. Enjoyed the listen.

When you order your hockey team from temu

Those will all be excuses Staios uses for not getting a player but look at the moves he has made so far. He has done nothing. He can’t even get Pinto signed. Staios has no idea what he is doing in my opinion. Plus taking forever to make moves, will cost us to miss out on players etc. no faith in Staios.

Peter's final ranking?

I think u guys are forgetting that stutzle is a centre. Stutzle, Norris, pinto, and Grieg are all great centre men. It would be a waste of a top 10 pick to draft a centre when that’s your strongest position depth wise

Kyle Connor

About LD Defensmen - There is a buttload of them in the league. Easy to replace.

Berkly Catton shouldn't even be a consideration.. skilled guy sure. He's just more of the same for us though.. He does not bring anything new or different to Ottawa. If it's forward it's Lindstrom/Iginla or bust. RHD it's Levshunov, Parekh, or Yakemchuk. Knowing what we have heard from Sens management and coaches, I would bet a good chunk of money one of those 5 are the pick.
