I like the idea of OTT drafting Drysdale with their 2nd first rounder. I don't know if they would do it if they end up 1-2, but 1 and 4 I would do it

If Ottawa gets both of those guys, they will be awesome

Wow! And with that team, you'll have a top-ten pick NEXT year, too!

Seriously, this scenario requires one of your two first-round picks to win the second-overall lottery, San Jose to finish fourth, and Los Angeles not to take Drysdale at #3. Unlike most three-legged parlays, this sequence actually has a reasonable chance of eventuating. Good luck!

P.S. not that it matters, but I think that the cap floor will be higher than you have here, but you'll have no trouble reaching it. Look forward to Vancouver calling about Loui Eriksson. He'll be better for you than Backes.

I am going to pass on the Edmonton trade. I think McLeod will be good.

I would expect longer term and less money for Boro. Management has already said theyd like him to be here long term but i couldnt see them giving him more than 5yrs x MAX 2 mil and even 2 is probably high. I wouldnt be surprised if Connor Brown, Nick Paul and Duclair get a bit more than youve signed them for an they try and pick up the hossa contract for the yotes to hit the floor.
