Sujet: Best Team Fits
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TyeZerker</b></div><div>Best fit: Hey Devils you love log jams at D? here you go. Wouldnt the best fit be A BIG WINGER or evn Eisermen why do ppl think NJ needs more Dmen. Minny will trade with NJ if Buium fall hell any dmen fall top 10 Nj need to trade the pick.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>They have a decent left side but they could use another high end left handed defenseman to be a 1-2 punch for hughes.</div></div>

TyeZerker is 100% correct. No way Devils draft a top defensemen here. They'd get paid a healthy ransom to fill roles they actually need if Dickinson is available at 10.

Also, Blues will not draft another undersized transitional defensemen. They do not fit their system. ie Krug, Perunovich. Devils/Blues could be perfect trade scenario with the way your projected draft is though.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>ASP - pretty sure they'd not pass on Moore to take a smallish offensive D
Price - excellent pick, very likely
Musty - I mean maybe, but I think they'd rather have someone like Bonk</div></div>

Agreed. Blues will take a forward with their top pick and especially target one that has potential to play center. The bottom 2 picks (if they keep both) will be to restock defensemen prospects. Simashev, Price, Bonk, Brzustewicz, Willander all come to mind according to the list available above. Simashev's my choice.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Koskinen_The_Great</b></div><div>How? We saw one trade at last years draft to move up early in 1st at 11OA with Arizona paying a late 1st @27OA and 2 2nds. This draft is too deep to move up and pay such a price.</div></div>

I actually think this is the reason you'll see more move up. Cost (in # of picks) would be less considering how deep the draft is as you pointed out. I can see Detroit going for a RHD, whether in this draft or outside it, they have the cap flexibility and draft capital to make it happen. I can't imagine that make all 5 picks in the top 43...

Sujet: OReilly
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Element23VM</b></div><div>Not sure it'll take much more than a protected 1st to get O'Reilly. ROR's performance this year is not looking very good.</div></div>

It is a down year for O'Reilly (and the Blues) but he gets the toughest minutes in the NHL. Teams won't be renting him for his offensive prowess but rather his two way play, playoff pedigree and leadership. He'll be your #3 center (maybe #2) and will play against top lines during the playoffs. He'll take key faceoffs and play valuable PK minutes. Teams will depend on him to rally the troops between games, periods and shifts. Not to mention, financially, he'll cost less than 1 mil in actual payout.

Should easily be worth a 1st + mid tier prospect (I like Jakub Demek) but teams will wait until deadline to offer given risk of injury. I would think 2022 Copp and Giroux trades are good examples.
