Sujet: zboyat 2020 NHL Mock Draft
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TanSor</b></div><div>That's fair, I guess I'd just like to see what we have with Kahkonen first. Askarov is a fantastic prospect and goalies are such an inconsistent position that I suppose it doesn't hurt to have a bunch. I have Mercer ranked over Askarov on my board (which I will probably post soon) so that's why I'd take him but I'm also way higher on Mercer than most people (he's 9th on my board)</div></div>

Agreed that I would like to give Kahkonen a shot and see what he can do in a longer stint in the NHL, but I just felt it would be too hard too pass up the potential elite goaltender at #11, although Lundell was also consideration.

As you all said, Center and Goalies are their biggest need, so I would be fine either way, although it would be very, very nice if we got some lottery luck for once for a chance at Byfield/Rossi/Perfetti

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mnwild1790</b></div><div>First of all, I gotta give a shoutout to Zeke! Welcome to CapFriendly man! Been my go to guy on Twitter for a while now on Kaprizov highlights.

And I've been trying to think about this for a while. Since he's supposed to be the best goalie prospect since Price, I wouldn't mind taking Askarov...but the fact that goalies are boom or bust, and take a while to develop, scares the crap out of me. But if he is the real deal...we can cross an elite goaltender off our list and focus on Centers only.</div></div>

Thanks man, appreciate it! Finally actually made an account on here, and hopefully soon enough I won't have to be digging up Kaprizov highlights and articles and instead we'll be able to actually watch him play, the wait seems to almost over, hopefully the NHL allows him to sign for this season.

Sujet: What the heck is Guerin going to do about our need for a top 6 C?
As you all have been talking about, I think the most realistic way that Guerin could address their need for a top-6 center is through trade. Obviously, the top 2 candidates to be used in a trade to acquire that center are Brodin and Dumba. For me, personally, I would hang onto Brodin, and give him a contract extension when they are allowed to do so. He is just one of the absolute best defensive defenseman in the game, such a smooth skater who's positioning is so, so good. While his offensive ability will never be the greatest, he did seem to show more of a willingness to jump up into the rush and into the offensive zone than in the past, and it showed with a career high 28 points in 69 games played, and I believe he should be a 30 point top pairing D for probably the next decade.

While Dumba does have the exciting and dynamic offensive ability (kinda like Brent Burns), I just simply do not know if he is ever gonna be a huge point scorer even with his skillset. I do love his work ethic, enthusiasm, and leadership abilities, but I feel like you could maybe get more value in return for a younger right shot offensive defenseman, whether.

As for the Cirelli offer-sheet option, I have been in favor of this for a while, as Cirelli seems very much to be the kind of center who can drive play and produce offense, all while being a great playmaker and defensive player, kind of like a Mikko Koivu. Could be good on a line with Kaprizov or Fiala.

Ultimately, whenever this upcoming offseason is, I think that aside from goaltending, the center position is of utmost importance for them to improve if they want to have a better chance at competing and being a playoff teams the next couple of seasons
