Expecting a 1st in return for Dowd is delusion at its finest. Yikes.

Would hate to send him to Washington but I do really like Cristall and who knows where that pick would end up.

We are better off holding out and only doing the Toronto trade. Our young core is good, just need some high talent pieces to put around them. Like Miro, Lapierre and Leonard are all looking very very good. If Cristall can continue his pace in the minors he could be a huge addition as well as Zac Funk. If we draft well this year and take whoever we can in the first. Surin in the second and Protas, Muggli and Moysevich in the third. That would be the most ideal situation for us considering where those players might go. Wouldn't be upset trading up in the second round either.

I like McMichael but I don't see Flyers liking him over chance of Catton, Helenius, Buium, or even Eiserman. I would add to FLA 1st to get McMichael though.

Remove Protas then yes.

Pass on Necas, he's overrated. Plus don't want to deal with Cristall blossoming into a 90 point player in our division.

Wild decline. That's not what they want for Rossi, much less wild have to add Gustavsson also? it's a no
