Pete Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Poor choice of reference since that pick by the Wild was highly criticized at the time. https://www.hockeywilderness.com/2018/9/11/17844734/top-25-under-25-filip-johansson-the-conservative-draft-pick-from-sweden That late in the first round, as long as you don't go completely off the board, you're not getting much difference between a 22 and 24. The word "massive" is... Massively hyperbolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The draft in general is an educated guess. Sometimes things don't pan out....Hugh Jessiman, Dylan McIlrath, Bobby Sanguinetti....Good God, thankfully we got a bit more educated as of recent (kind of.....Lias Andersson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveIn94 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Lias has been doing well in sweden but was definitely not an out of the park pick as of now.The draft in general is an educated guess.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yea there's a chance I could win a massive amount of money in the lottery. What a pointless statement. Yeah so picking sooner makes no difference. That's broken logic. It makes a difference and the difference could be big depending on who the team likes.

They picked earlier and took Mcailrath, they picked earlier and took Bobby Sanguinetti, Hugh Jessiman. Again, the difference in player from 22 to 24 is not that big. You made a hyperbolic statement and then you had to throw a bunch of qualifiers in there so that the statement itself is pretty meaningless.

josh Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Trade the pick. Rangers don’t need more potential top 6 forwards or potential top 4 D prospects. You don’t waste a first rounder on a potential 3rd liner, that they need now. Trade the pick for one. Whether it’s 22 or 24 is irrelevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t waste a first rounder on a potential 3rd liner, that they need now. Trade the pick for one. Whether it’s 22 or 24 is irrelevant If the right top 6 Center or top 4 LD becomes available via trade, I'd be shocked if this pick wasn't involved in the package. If they trade it for a 3rd liner though, it better be more along the lines of "3rd line + a 2nd round draft pick". Over the last few years, the Rangers have done extremely well drafting in the 20s. I don't think it's right to minimize the potential of that pick as only a potential 3rd liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three has potential to be top 4D/top 6 forward. But im not against using the pick in a package for a top 4 LD or top 6 C, we need help now.

The Rangers need more than what Chytil has been contributing his first 3 seasons from this pick next season We all like Chytil, but youre talking about 23 points with no other intangibles. They dont need more picks and prospects that arent contributing immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just turned 21, youngest player in his draft class, and still under 150 games played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I thought Chytil made pretty good strides this past season, albeit very streaky. But, he's still pretty green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_IV Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 While I agree the 22 pick could be good trade bait, in looking at the draft order/rounds, I don?t believe the Rangers have a 2nd rounder this year. So if you trade #22, their next pick isn?t until the 3rd round.

A 70-pick gap in selections isn't something I'd worry about if that 22 helps us score a 2C or a higher pair LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Per the Athletic (https://theathletic.com/2105005/2020/09/30/nhl-trade-rumors-henrik-lundqvist-goalies/) the Oilers aren't going to qualify Andreas Athanasiou Can play any forward position, and is only one year removed from 30 goals. he had a down year so i dont think he'll cost a ton but on a short term, 1-2 year deal he could be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
