<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blues4TheCup</b></div><div>fair enough. there is risk. Who would you want at 10? Im hoping for Moore or Leonard</div></div>

Reinbacher or Moore would be great, but I fear they'll both be gone. Leonard or Dvorsky would be cool consolation prizes. If all of them are gone, I might turn to Danielson, and perhaps even try to trade down a few spots to grab him.

My general comps:

Reinbacher looks to me a lot like Petro at that age. Like A LOT.

Moore = Larkin

Leonard = reminds me of Coronato, or maybe even like Schwartzy if he could also play C (wouldn't that have been something)

Dvorsky is a tough one. Hmmm... maybe... like a poor man's Malkin? Or like Horvat if he was more responsible defensively?

Danielson is a lot like O'Reilly, but faster and meaner.

Honestly, I just want it to hurry up and get here already.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blues4TheCup</b></div><div>who do you want at 3C? also who do you want with our pick? Sale? Sandin - Pelikka?</div></div>

If we do end up 9th, I'd want either Reinbacher, Dvorsky, Danielson or Moore with that pick. With the later 1sts, I'd like one of Price, Lindstein, Simashev or Molendyk and then perhaps Stramel, Honzek, Ziemmer or Heidt (depending on what transpires before then).

The 3C issue is tough. I'd love Acciari back, or even Barby or Sunny, but there's bound to be a lot of competition for those guys. I wonder if we could snag Laughton or Sturm for a decent price, but really I'd be happy with a short term stop gap player like Bjugstad for a year or two. The LDs are my top priority for this summer. I certainly hope it's also Army's.

Sujet: (CGY/FLA) - Tkachuk for Huberdeau, Weegar, Schwindt
Holy ****. Capital B Blockbuster.
This is fun. Is this what the NBA feels like all the time?

Seriously what the hell is the Atlantic divison? This arms race is just getting silly.

And with everything going on, will Huberdeau want to stay in Calgary? His contract is up soon. Weegar's contract is up too btw. I don't see why not but I didn't see why not with Tkachuk or Gaudreau either so.

Anyway time to be controversial: Huberdeau is a great playmaker, one of the best, but he is very one dimensional in his talents and as such gets overrated. Weegar is great so that helps to even it out but with the contracts I'd rather Tkachuk signed for 8 years at 9.5.

Literally who cares about a 1st in the year 3000. Time value is a thing people. That guy won't play until 2030.

I like this for Florida much more than for Calgary. They should have gone for a futures package and rebuilt (Lundell, etc from Florida). They weren't good enough before, just got worse and if they can't sign Huberdeau they are ****ed. And now they have missed on the top of the 2023 draft class too. Not that its a bad return, hell its a good return but I just don't think its the RIGHT return

Sujet: Matthew Tkatchuk to the Blues
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Blues4TheCup</b></div><div>most I would do is Tarasenko, Neighbours and a 1st. otherwise I would wait until he is a free agent</div></div>

From what I've read, CGY isn't going to let this situation get to arbitration. Either a trade or a longterm extension; letting him get to a 1yr deal could be a fireable offense. If Tkachuk's camp makes it clear that there are only a few (or one) team that he will sign long term with, that cuts into their leverage but it still should yield them a better return than they'd get if they try to move him on a 1yr deal.

If it comes out that he only will sign long-term in STL, I could see the pkg you have - Tarasenko (could go to a 3rd team), Neighbours, 1st. Otherwise with competition I think the Blues would be offering a little more. Probably not as extreme as some of these armchairs I've seen lately, holy smokes.
