Quoting: Jfstompers
Yeah it is a risk but I'd rather we're proactive and gamble on talent than just wait and hope like we have been.
We have some talent. I do agree that he would be a special add. He's putting up great numbers in the KHL. It's funny you made this cause I was just looking at his stuff this morning thinking how could we get him reasonably.
I think a deal if he falls to 6, which is where the Flyers pick right now, with taking Risto, our first, a second wouldn't be out of the question. If our pick is #8. I'm really hoping the Blues beat us tonight, I was disappointed we beat them the other night lol.
We could use St. Louis winning, Vancouver winning, Florida winning, Pittsburgh winning and Islanders losing to help us in the draft.
Also if we were to add assets to move up in the draft, I would hope we could get paid to take on some contracts to recoup those assets. Myers, Bailey, Faksa and Petry if the return is good enough I would do deals for.
