Honestly I would despise moving Dumba for 10th overall and Roslovic. 10th overall probably gets us Lundell and personally I view him as a worse Eriksson Ek and I don't think Roslovic can stick at center. I know I'm in a pretty large minority on Lundell but I just don't think his offense will translate to the NHL. If we can't get a top 6 center then just keep him and protect 8 skaters in expansion.

I'm weary on Lundell too but I'm honestly expecting us to take him at 9 anyways. Getting this pick would let us take the center and also snag BPA if a guy like Holtz falls or something. As for Roslovic, I don't know what he's good at which is why I put him on on wing and stuck Kunin at C. All in all don't know if Dumba's value will be any higher than it is now (ironically off a downseason) because GMs will smell blood in the water closer to expansion. So I think we just gotta take what we can get now.

Winnipeg won't move 10OA for a LD.

Honestly, I really wonder if Lundell is on the radar. With those back to back picks, it’s almost guaranteed we take one of Sanderson, Askarov, or Holtz and trade the other one to a mid teens pick for a higher risk, higher upside center (Mercer and Zary come to mind) plus more. The issue with pulling in Roslovic is that it forces even more moves with the forward group.

What about a RD?

Honestly, if we can't get a top six center back or move up any higher than 9th ova. Yes, I'd do it.

As I've discussed with @TanSor before, I actually prefer Lundell over other options because of his defensive prowess and skill at faceoffs, which is something we now lack with Mikko officially gone.

Roslovic is a rhs, which we also need more of and having both 9th and 10th ova gives us some real options in the deepest draft in the past decade. If you can't get one of either Rossi or Perfetti, than it's in our best interest to pick up Lundell irregardless of how you feel about him. He's still the consensus best pick center available at that point. 10th ova in addition to 9th ova now gives us flexibility to really hedge our bets. Maybe you grab Askarov, or Sanderson, or maybe you go grab Jack Quinn.

Personally, I double down on center. I grab Jarvis with 10th ova, who draws comparisons to Brayden Point. Holloway or Mercer are also options. Maybe you take a chance on Lapierre.

I'd seriously consider it.

I'm good with Lundell at 9 overall. Like the idea of LaPierre but I'd probably trade back from 10 for him. If Wild get 9 and 10 I think from what's likely to be there I want Lundell and Sanderson.

Phew, that was a close one. Luckily Dumba is a RD.

In terms of "taking what we can get" I guess it's fine, but I don't love it and would prefer to hang on to Dumba.

I love Sanderson from a prospect standpoint. He screams Ryan Suter clone and is the lhd we desperately need.

That said, he's the last pick the Wild should ever consider in this year's draft. Next year's is too loaded with good D prospects to make that mistake I think. We really should be looking to load up on forwards, specifically centers imo.

I find it funny that Lundell's offense won't translate but Khovanov's will?

Dumba is RD Brodin is LD So Dumba isn't a LD.

I'm mixing him up with Nurse. Dumba is an RD version of Nurse though but less physical, so still no interest. He doesn't play the style the Jets need.

I would trade Dumba for Roslovic and the 10...and, i woukd strongly consider taking Sanderson and Lundell with the 2 picks...with Askarov, Quinn, and Jarvis under consideration as well.

I maintain that if this trade happens, we trade down to the mid teens and give somebody a shot at Askarov then we take Sanderson at 9/10 and pick a more offensive minded C in the mid teens. Sanderson fits our timeline to be mentored by the whole D corps and take over Suter’ role in 3ish years. I think Askarov is too long of a timeline for us and I wonder how Bill feels about negotiating with Russians.

Jarvis and Sanderson would work great in your scenario.

I don’t hate it.

Never said it would. He does not look good in the KHL right niw

I'll take Lundell who already plays big boy hockey. There isn't anything about his game that I see not translating to the NHL. He is already making the plays without the time/space that the pretty centers coming from Jrs need. He already has a good base to build on for his d-zone game too. He's not flashy but shows up on the scorecard quite often.
