I can see a lot of teams staying away from Chernysov. If he’s available when we pick he’s probably my top target. I like Hage and Boisvert too. I don’t want to use our first on a D this year. Between Seider, Edvinsson, ASP, Wallinder & Gibson we’ve got enough there. Larkin & Raymond are arguably the only top 6 players in the org under 30. Kasper, Danielson & Berggren all have a shot there - and a few others - but we’re still really lacking in the forward pipeline overall.
I would chose Jiricek, Because there is such a demand for RD in the league that if the Wings have too many, there is a VERY high demand for that position that they can be traded for a VERY good return.

We say that around here, but are we really seeing many of those trades?

What'd we get for Hronek?
A mid first and late second?

Nah, you were right. ASP and Felix Nillson 2023 #43 overall.

43 was traded to Nashville on some other deal.

Tankathon has us picking Iginla at 13th now. I’d be happy with that.

I like the idea, but I really know nothing about him.
Always wanted Iginla in Detroit.

Starting to really love the idea of taking a literally big swing at this guy with our first.

I think his stock will soar before the draft. May not even be there when we pick, but if so, the upside is huge.

A Soderblom with wheels that’s more skilled that Soderblom was at his age.

Imagine sending out Ras - Leteorneau - Soderblom with Seider & Edvinsson.
