I think lots of teams are debating if they should be playing them to be honest. No CHL, no ice time, how the hell are they gonna develop like that?
They ain't. Teams are going to have to eye up the possibility of carrying a guy for a year. Even if it's the 13th skater. They can get practice time and can bring someone on staff to train them up.
The worst thing that an happen is they let them sit not playing hockey. Not only will it delay their development it might set them back.

Sabres where rumored to be offered multiple picks for 8 I think they coulda dropped to 10/11 and still got Quinn what do u think?

Quinn would've been there. Adams should've done it. You talking about the Embedded series?

Quinn wouldn't have dropped past 10

No.... Also teams would've still took the player they wanted in that area.

MIN: Rossi
WPG: Perfetti
NSH: Askarov
BUF: Quinn

Yes...plenty of teams were very high on Quinn. Winnipeg being one of them.

Why would WPG take another winger...

Perfetti is going to be a winger lmao.

Uhhh I'm not a fan of him but pretty sure they drafted him to be their 2C behind Scheifele.

If they wanted a 2C they would've drafted Lundell. All scouts have said Perfetti will be a winger in the pros.

Yea, pretty fun 2 watch honestly

Yea absolutely

I've heard the opposite but we'll see.

@BuFfaLOFaN I watched yesterday and see what you meant. Kevyn was wondering whether they should keep the pick or move down a bit. Looks like they had their eyes on Quinn right from the get-go. IDK what we would have received for 8th if we only moved down 3-4 spots. It likely wouldn't have been all that much, maybe just a 2nd or something. I like the way Adams handled it, especially making the trade to nab JJ Peterka.

Agreed with Peterka but add not trading down could go along with Quinn>Rossi, Non-QO to Kahun, Eakin & Girgensons overpays and Bridging Olofsson, Ullmark, and Reinhart for what could be 1 year of Hall.

Yea, I mean there was alot of good and bad this off-season, let's hope to finish it up with a bit more good and round out our dcore.

If we qualified Kahun, where would he play if Ruots, Thompson, and Cozens are all ready for the NHL full time? I didn't like losing Kahun but in the long run we would have lost him to Vegas anyways. The Olofsson contract is good, Ullmark will stick around with us so the term doesn't really matter to me. Reinhart's contract should have been long term. I'd say Kevyn has done a great job for a 1st time GM and I'm overall happy with what he has done so far. Don't forget the acquisition of Staal, that will be huge for us this year

Well Qualifying Kahun means Eakin wouldn't have signed so that offsets positionally speaking, I have a hard time seeing Seattle taking Kahun when we have 3/4 to protect of Dahlin, Jokiharju, Ristolainen, Miller, Montour, McCabe, Borgen, Pilut. Olofsson's contract is good, but if he lights it up playing with Hall and Eichel that has long term implications with his next contract. Laine type situation. Staal trade is the best deal since the Kahun, Skinner, Jokiharju moves. Loved it. He's definitely done great. No doubt. Just the little things he can avoid so easily ya know?

Here's my lines if they kept Kahun over Eakin:

Hall-Eichel-Olofsson
Skinner-Staal-Reinhart
Kahun-Cozens-Thompson
Girgensons-Lazar-Okposo

Dahlin-Miller
Montour-Ristolainen
McCabe-Jokiharju
Borgen

Ullmark
Hutton ( Still think Johansson is a better option)
