Human Gambling: The 2011 Entry Draft

The road to the next Stanley Cup Champion begins with the NHL Entry Draft this weekend. A year ago Gillis gave up on Steve Bernier and coughed up two prospects (the 25th pick overall plus Michael Grabner) to acquire Victor Oreskovich and Keith Ballard. If the intent at the time was for Oreskovich to play more playoff games than Get-Baumgartner-on-the-line-because-no-one-trusts Ballard and Grabner to be up for rookie of the year, then roll out the banner because mission fucking accomplished.
Starting tonight and continuing into tomorrow, Gillis and the scouts jump into the spotlight to address the franchise's short and long term needs. It also means that Missy, eightseven and the other NM ladies get to oogle the kids (you know I'm right) who will struggle with comically large jerseys in front of the hockey world before being ushered quickly off stage for even more comical photo spreads. See above.
After the jump, we'll look at what GMMG may do with his selections. Naturally since we're guessing none of it will come true and instead he'll draft a broken table leg from OHL Whitehorse. Book it.
Gillis has only picked 17 times since he took over the team and nearly 25% of those have been from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Curious what his draft roster looks like? Roll tape:
Center
Cody Hodgson (10th - 2008), Jordan Schroeder (22nd - 2009), Prab Rai (131st - 2008), Mats Froshaug (161st - 2008), Alex Friesen (172nd - 2010)
Left Wing
Anton Rodin (53rd - 2009), Steven Anthony (187th - 2009)
Defense
Yann Sauve (41st - 2008), Kevin Connauton (83rd - 2009), Jeremy Price (113rd - 2009), Patrick McNally (115th - 2010), Peter Andersson (143rd - 2009), Sawyer Hannay (205th - 2010)
Goalie
Morgan Clark (191st - 2008), Adam Polasek (145th - 2010), Joe Cannata (187th - 2009), Jonathan Iilahti (175th - 2010)
NM went defense first and so too did not just one but two NHL Mock Drafts along with a Pierre McGuire-inspired TSN mock draft, though having the McGuire endorsement means David Musil's career is over before it begins. We loved what Tanev showed this year, have high hopes for Sweatt, Connauton and Sauve but no one is near the caliber of the late Luc Bourdon. None of the defensive picks above strike us as first pairing material. As the adage goes - and fate seems to reinforce on us at all the wrong times - you can never have enough defensemen and there will be plenty of options by the time #29 rolls around.
There's a similar quality issue up front. Aside from Hodgson and Schroeder and high hopes for Rodin, no one truly stands out. We have our fingers crossed for Bill Sweatt, Stefan Schneider and Prab Rai, but clearly the club could use some better building blocks. They are remarkably thin at pure right wingers with only Desbiens and prospects Darren Archibald and Kellan Tochkin so it stands to reason that St. John's RW Tomas Jurco was the selection in both Hockey's Future's mock draft and TSN's ("think a highly skilled Michael Frolik"). One of the NHL mock drafts has Vancouver taking Windsor LW Alexander Khokhlachev (a Russian? AHHH! RUN AWAY!!!) and notes "Skilled, flashy forward eventually will look great skating alongside Cody Hodgson" which is going to make Sergei Shirokov punt a bunny.
No way they'd take a goalie right? Wait, never mind.
Overall this draft feels like 2009 where Vancouver picked at 22nd and Schroeder dropped into their laps and they then landed intriguing Rodin and Connauton the two rounds after. They'll naturally be hoping a first rounder slated to go in the teens slips down and that they can unearth some gems in the middle rounds.
Conversely Gillis could treat us to some wheeling and dealing again (preferably after speaking with Vigneault about the feasibility of the acquisition actually playing). The 29th pick isn't sexy, but it's still a first rounder and Gillis has all his picks to offer along with two highly coveted rookies (Hodgson and Schneider), negotiating rights (Bieksa and Ehrhoff notably) and at least one serviceable veteran (Samuelsson). In exchange Gillis wants some quality but I suspect any true answers via the trade route are going to be costly; no one is going to have sympathy after Vancouver's regular season dominance. After Philly's moves yesterday - moving Carter and Richards for picks and prospects - maybe the time is now to move youth to bolster the immediate future. Losing Grabner was one thing, but are you ready to stomach seeing Ginger Jesus stroll out of town or see Hodgson be the real deal somewhere else for a proven commodity now?
Go drama.

LW Alexander Khokhlachev
Saw him a few times this year. He plays grittier than a lot of Russian forwards, certainly not the typical “Russian forward” stereotype. More Ovie-style, although obviously nowhere near as talented. I wouldn’t mind him.
Assuming we actually make our first round selection at 29 (of which I have my doubts), I hope GMMG just takes the best player available. In all likelihood, we aren’t getting a player at 29 who is going to help us next year anyways, so just get the best talent you can.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I’d like Khokhlachev; I still don’t believe he’ll get to us. Others I’m intrigued by: Dmitrij Jaskin (Big Czech Guy), Stefan Noesen (Big Texan Guy) and Jonas Brodin (Little Swedish Guy).

You guys did a terrific job of grabbing him, btw. From the look of all the mocks, there is no chance we get him. Which simply proves you guys are smarter than at least 10-15 other NHL SB Nation blog. Go NM Management!!

The other SBN guys weren’t distracted with the Cup run and had fun trying to unearth gems. Now we need the real GMs to do the same…

I appreciate the approach of “don’t overthink it, just take the guy you think is best player available” regarding the draft. Well done.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
It's gotta be the only way
With all the twists and turns between a player being drafted and actually making the NHL surely you’ve got to go for the best player available regardless of position.

Dobbers has a fantasy prospects report out for each team...a sample from Vancouver's end:
Cody Hodgson
To say Hodgson’s post-draft development has been turbulent would be putting it lightly. He has had more lows (a
nagging back injury) than highs (standout international performances), but he appears to be finally healthy and back
on track once again. His skating and speed will never be his strong suit, but he uses his smarts and a quick and
deceptive shot very effectively. With Vancouver’s depth at center there is no short term offensive role for Hodgson
to play, but expect him to see some time on the second power-play unit while playing in a depth offensive role at
even strength. He won’t be fantasy relevant for a while, but the fact that he is playing at a high level once again is
great news to both Canuck fans and those who own him in hockey pools. If you are looking for a comparison, think
Daymond Langkow.
Upside: Top six center (30-45-75, 50 PIM)
Certainty (NHLer; Upside): 95%, 40%
3YP: (15-29-44, 40 PIM)
Anton Rodin
While Winnipeggers wait for an NHL team to arrive, Canuck fans want to see Anton Rödin in Manitoba’s capital
next fall. Vancouver’s 2009 second round pick was signed last summer to an ELC but was loaned to his SEL club
Brynäs for his continued development. An exceptional skater and blessed with superior hockey sense, Rödin has
been compared to fellow Swede Daniel Alfredsson because he’s a terrific playmaker and also a tenacious defender.
While the 2010 WJC standout didn’t dominate the SEL this past season, his goals (7) and assists (19) regularly made the highlights. The 20-year old only carries 176 pounds on his 6’0 frame, so a move to North America may
encourage him to bulk up so he can compete in the more physical AHL. Rödin, no relation to the French sculptor, is
a few years away but hopefully he gets there quickly so he can line up with the Sedins for a season or two before
their contracts are up.
Upside: Scoring line winger (30-40-70, 50 PIM).
Certainty (NHLer; Upside): 70%; 50%
3YP: (13-26-39, 36 PIM)

Sorry, that’s not projected, that’s just what his absolute best case scenario is. :P
I’d say he’s probably somewhere in between, maybe a 20-30-50ish type guy?

Hello
Thought I’d stop by for the chat. Wouldn’t be surprised if Keith Ballard is on the move today (draft day trade part two).
As for the pick – I like Morrow, too.

Unless someone is pining for him (is that even possible?) I think they keep him as an insurance policy for another season.

yeah because if he gets ice time this year and brings his game back up with that ice time he is easier and more valuable to move. At this point he would be hard to move and the Canucks would probably get the short end of any deal involving Ballard.
Ballard has trade value. There are at least a dozen teams with cap space and a huge desire to add a mobile d-man.
Follow me on twitter - @angus_j
he’s also a puck moving defenseman that is capable of playing big minutes. A lot of teams seem to want that these days

I’m told chances aren’t good Max Talbot re-signs in Pittsburgh. UFA market should give him plenty of options.

Sounds like it very well could be the Jets
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
I am surprised. I was starting to think that because it is looking like they will have no name or sweater for the draft (could happen but time is running short lol) that they were going in a different direction than the jets. But maybe the delay is due to picking a new logo or sweater design
i think the jets
would be a shame, actually. Shows an incredible inability to move forwards, and although there’s a cool nostalgia factor there, I personally think that should not be the thing you base the team name on. This team is NOT the jets, the jets are in phoenix. This is a completely different team in a completely different environment, and i’ll be a bit disappointed if True North ends up bowing to the lowest common denominator. Give us something new, jeez!

Definitely the safe choice
Which is often the wrong one in hockey.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
yeah I would prefer something different but it doesn’t matter much to me
I do think however that it is a bit ridiculous that they won’t have a name going into the draft given how much time they had to come up with a name, logo and sweater. I know that technically they only got the final go ahead a few days ago but they should have had something ready to roll out as soon as they knew. Unless they are planning a dramatic revealing at the draft it just seems like bad planning and organization to go into the draft with no name imo
It looks like your last sentence (re dramatic at the draft) is the plan.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
i've thought since day 1
that they’d do the reveal at the draft…just makes sense. Keep it quiet until they announce it to reduce counterfeit goods, make the big splash when the whole hockey world is watching.

personally
jets seems like the right choice to me, winnepeg loves their jets, so it may be an easier sell to the fans if they can cheer for their jets and not “blank”. but on a purely business standpoint, a new name with new colours is a great money maker, fans will buy new jerseys and all, or they will just wear their jets jerseys anyways
it's not
their jets they love, it was their hockey team that happened to be called the jets. This will be an easy sell no matter what they’re called. They could call them the Winnipeg Losing Pussyassed Wimps and it would still be an easy sell.

would you love your canucks if the whole roster was different?
im not sure if i could cheer for a team called the losing pussyassed wimps…abbreviate it and i may think about it LPAW?
well if you're asking
if they blew up the team and completely changed the manpower, i’d probably still say yes, i’m a canucks fan…good or bad… Just happier when they’re good.
If you’re asking if the team went away for 10 years then came back called the Vancouver Flamehawkduckleafs, i’d still say yeah cuz i’d be so happy to have a team back.

i would like to see mg makes a deal
its going to be a boring day at work and it would definitely kill some time. something to make the 2nd line better, 1 3 and 4 should all be fine, but i would like to see someone like leino play beside kesler, but i have a feeling PHI wants to keep him after dealing yesterday.
maybe a move to get higher in the draft, like mentioned yesterday
Go on CDC. I went there for 15 minutes and got a huge headache.
Someone was suggesting Schneider is to be traded to Colorado ONLY if they offer their 11th pick AND Duchene….

im thinking a little more realistic, but i keep thinking about the mg quote about having options no one thinks they have.. i would like to see him pull the trigger, we have a very good winning team who i think can make a run again next year, but there are 1 or 2 pieces to win it all
Personally, when the team as constructed comes within 60 minutes of winning the Stanley Cup, with two chances to do it, I think the team as constructed is good enough to win the Stanley Cup.
We’ll see what happens this offseason, but this team was good enough. They just didn’t get it done.

make him play wing. less common then people realize.
Or stack Kesler on the first line. Would solve lots of Sedin problems.
It’s not that hard for a center to play wing. But it is hard for a wing to play center. That may or may not make sense. But it’d be like in field hockey/lacrosse/soccer, mid fielders can easily convert to either offense or defense. But forwards and defenders have a hard time converting to midfielding.
Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.

Eric Brewer: $16m/4yrs
If Brewer can get that from the Lightning without even hitting the open market, I am 100% convinced that Gillis could find a taker (and get an asset in return) for Ballard without any problems, if he so desires.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Perhaps...
…for someone AV would use? Wouldn’t mind keeping Ballard – he is quite good – but it’s definitely a position of strength for the Canucks.
Flying that Nerd Flag high!
Hopefully it remains a position of strength. Let’s not count our chickens until at least 2 of Bieksa, Salo and Ehrhoff have signed a contract with the Canucks.
There is no way I consider moving Ballard until I know that has happened. Even then, not sure it’s worth it.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
True.
The youth we have on the blue looks good, but we don’t need to rush anyone, and I’d rather not.
Flying that Nerd Flag high!
I like how are young defensive prospects are being eased into it to be short-term injury solutions, at present. Gives you an opportunity to see which ones are ready to make the jump (like Tanev), rather than FORCING them to make the jump.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
How so?
That was a pay cut for Brewer. He was making 4.25 before, and now it’s 3.85
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
$4M for a 20-25 point D-man is quite pricey. Bieksa and Hoff could easily get $5.5-6M using this contract as a benchmark.

Yeah I’m with Wisp here, if we’re going to move Schneider we better be getting something that will help us now, as opposed to the 11th pick in a draft.

I don’t really like a #11 pick in a draft that has 8 clear prospects, and everything else comes with much greater risk. Still in the “Don’t-trade-Scneids-unless a top-end-winger-is-coming-the-other-way” camp.

He's is WAYYYY too valuable
to throw away for a pick or a prospect. That would go down as a milbury-esque trade unless we got real lucky with the draft pick.

well, sure, if there’s a “top-end winger” to be had instead, I’d love that too. my suspicion is that there isn’t (or, at least, really shouldn’t be, although yesterday demonstrated once again that GMs are still far too in love with goalies).

I think trading Schneider
would be a really bad idea. Unless it brings us someone like Parise or Weber or some other superstud, throwing away schneider in a kneejerk reaction to other events going on would be a really unwise move for the short and medium terms.

Where the hell would he fit in though? We already have Hank-Kes-Manny down the middle and I don’t know if putting a 6.6M centre (need to move some major cap space too) on the wing is the best use of that money
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
You can consider putting Kes as a dynamic goal scoring winger I guess. If there’s talent, we can make it fit.

Lack just played his first year of AHL. As much of a pleasant surprise as he was, I don’t think he is near ready for the job.
Needs more heavy AHL minutes for 2 years. Bring him along like GJ. Rushing a goalie usually ends up backfiring.

This is an excellent point
The LU/CS tandem was incredible. We are in a “window to win”. Maybe we shouldn’t be so eager to break that up.
Anyone have any idea if Brooks Laich is actually as good of an option as he would seem to be? Young, seems tough enough. Good character guy. Anyone have any idea how he rates on those new hockey stats? I honestly don’t really know much about the advanced hockey stats (Corsi and the like).
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
from what I have heard he’s a good center that also plays wing well. (would mean having an extra center on the ice for faceoffs). Has decent production (it went down this year but from what I can see just about everyone on the Caps roster went down this year). It also sounds like he is a solid addition to any locker room. But I don’t know about things like Corsi and the like :)
Numbers wise I wouldn’t be terribly worried about Laich unless someone else knows something different, simply because the Caps started playing an entirely different style of hockey.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
yeah
That was just a proof of concept. I really don’t want to break them up if at all possible, but he can get us a great asset…

I always wonder about the use of “it’s all uphill/downhill”. Saying it’s all uphill could also mean you have a really hard climb/tough time ahead of you, and it’s all downhill could mean it’s going to be really easy from now on.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
The uphill v downhill thing is entirely dependent on how good/bad the accelerator and breaks on your car are. For me uphill = bad, downhill = good. In my old clunker from high school, downhill was bad because sometimes the accelerator would stick and the breaks weren’t great.
Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.

A suitable replacement for Kaberle, I think. He’s got offensive touch, though his defense is atrocious.

I've decided
I want the canucks to take Tomas Jurco. From TSN:
Followed up an impressive 51-point rookie QMJHL season with a underwhelming 56-point season on one of the most most talented QMJHL teams in memory. More was expected from the 6-2 Slovakian winger, who saw his ranking slip considerably before his redemptory Memorial Cup performance. Strengths – Has top ten skills with elite puckhandling abilities and excellent skating agility, has all the physical attributes to be a star. Weaknesses – very inconsistent, is a star one night and accomplishes little the next. Not overly gritty, tends to stay to the outside of the play. NHL Upside – Risky pick in the first round who may be a top-two winger (think a more skilled Michael Frolik), or could struggle for ice time due to inconsistencies.
and in part because this might be useless but it’s cool:

I’m interrupting this adrenaline filled draft to let you all know that I just scored a goal in NHL 11 that was supposed to be a pass that deflected in off the defender’s stick into an open net. That defender was Ehrhoff. Some things never change

Only downside is Burns is brittle as hell, or at least has been in the past. Maybe he pulls a Bieksa and dodges the devil for a few seasons.

Mike Gillis and Stan Bowman talked trade. The Chicago Blackhawks general manager then dealt grinding winger Troy Brouwer to the Washington Capitals for the 26th overall pick Friday in the NHL entry draft.
And while you can only imagine how the versatile Vancouver native would have helped the Canucks next season because he fits at age (25) and salary ($1.0 million US) even though he’s a restricted free agent, Gillis couldn’t imagine giving up a first-round pick.
“Yeah, I did,” Gillis said of talking trade with Bowman, although he didn’t identify the player. “At this time of year you talk to every GM in the business because you don’t know what will happen and it was proven the other day [Thursday] that those trades were being discussed. You never know what can come out of the mix.”

Does anyone know if there was truth to the rumour that Campbell wouldn’t waive his no trade clause to go to Columbus?
"I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I'm afraid i have something of a mess on my hands."
"There's just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence."
Sean, Fla isn’t any where NEAR the cap limit, and with the cap being projected to increase in the next couple of years, it makes sense for some of the rebuilders to take some bad contracts. Plus, they can have him tutor Gudbranson which should help his development.

I think you’re right, but I believe it’s something like the players are guaranteed a certain slice of league-wide revenues (they pay some percentage of their checks into escrow in case revenues are lower than anticipated), and then they have the option to raise the cap as they see fit. I guess I’m just not sure how much further revenues can climb. :)

I didn’t look into that. I thought that was front loaded. Florida can’t be thrilled with spending 7.1M a year on him then. It’s looking worse each time you open your mouth PV. Argh. Thanks for bailing Chicago out, Tallon.

yeah
but they’ll miss campbell. D-man that knew how to score.
this is true; i’ve just gotta think they’ll be able to spend that coin more efficiently elsewhere.

consider seabrook got a raise and crawford got a raise, sharp is getting a raise… not as much relief as you think.
They’ll be tougher next year, but so will the whole conference. Who knows.
We’ll need to be get better, too. Make it happen, Gillis!
Also consider CHI has four D men now (I think) and you’ve removed their third best one. They need to go out and find someone equally threatening as Campbell so they can alternate him and Keith all night. If they go out and get someone like, oh, Ehrhoff, I’m duly less impressed with their defense.

My eyebrows
They raised at the Burns-Setoguchi trade… This is going to take some looking in to.
Flying that Nerd Flag high!
That one worried me too. Burns gives San Jose some really good D depth. Burns/Boyle? Vlasic can slide up to play with Murray? That’s a very solid top4.

When is our next pick?
Sorry am not in the loop re: this year’s draft. I cannot believe no one has picked Rattie from the Winterhawks; he will be a steal.
Next six picks: 60th, 90th, 120th, 150th, 180th, and 210th

Okay, no straight answer?
I thought 3rd round pick was given in trade… assume the rest are as is then…
Yeah we have all our picks. What trade are you referring to?

This one...
“The Vancouver Canucks’ third-round pick will go to the Anaheim Ducks as the result of a trade on February 28, 2011 that sent Maxim Lapierre and MacGregor Sharp to Vancouver in exchange for Joel Perrault and this pick.11”
Wiki NHL draft 2012
Got my years wrong…
oh yeah...the one that brought us the valuable MacGregor Sharp :)

Minny got fucked

Setoguchi’s okay, the deal is pretty fair. Sharks are pretty high on that prospect, so Minny’s gotta be happy with that, then they also got a pick out of it. It’s another rebuilding move, I guess.

Burns is a number 2 D man
that SJ needed. Minny could have held SJ over a barrel but instead they got streaky as fuck Gooch, a very good prospect and a late round 1st rounder. SJ is lucky they only had to give up that for Minny’s best defenseman.

Sharks fans are not happy about giving up Seto, last year's first, and this year's first
That is a lot for Burns.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
that is a lot
but It’s a “go for broke” move. SJ likely wants to win it all this year and then worry about the rebuild later.

notafullcolon CS: Well obviously I meant we were snorting blow off hookers at the time of the goal
I think the sharks fucked themselves too
They improved their defense, but they traded their only skater with any speed.
Great teams
Are built from the back end out. The evidence is irrefutable.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 25, 2011 12:47 AM PDT up reply actions
they have
a lot of talent up front. To be honest, Setoguchi wasn’t the big threat in our series, it was Jumbo & Marleau. I don’t think they are so worried about speed and they don’t need to be. Setoguchi has lots of potential, but his offensive talent is replaceable on a very solid team.

Is it just me
Or did the blackhawks have a head scratcher of a day? How does Bowman not realize he just traded away the strength of his team? Having quick, puck moving Dmen throughout the line up? It seems pretty obvious to me that Gillis even modeled our back end. Hell the Sharks moved one of their best forwards to model their back end after them and now Bowman just threw that away. Crazy.
7.1M / 5 years though. That’s a hell of a lot to get rid of.

They didn't though
They took on a 3 million forward who should be getting one.

But
Now they have a pretty thin defensive core. So they are gonna have to spend some or all of that money to sign a free agent, which you always have to overpay. I mean they are looking at who now? Kaberle for at least 4 million? Errorhoff for at least the same and neither of those guys have the offensive skills of Campbell. He’s overpaid, granted, but there’s a reason he got that big contract. He’s good at hockey. I could see it if they hadn’t replaced a Brouwer with a guy who makes 3 million and has durability questions but they don’t even have that much cap space considering the holes in their lineup and the UFA’s available.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 24, 2011 11:47 PM PDT up reply actions
best way to explain the deal is:
$7.1 million off the books
-
$1.1 million (the difference bewteen Olesz’s and Brouwer’s contracts)
-
This gives the Hawks the $2mil extra to sign Sharp to a long-term contract and and added $4 million to sign/trade for a new stay-at-home defenseman.
Campbell will be sorely missed, but the team had an overabundance of puck moving d-men. It made sense to move him while the Hawks still could.
There's no such thing
As an overabundance of puck moving defensemen in today’s NHL. That’s the whole point. That and depth are the reasons the hawks won the cup and now they have neither.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 25, 2011 9:12 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
the roster hasn't been filled out...
and Hawks still have 3 puck moving defensemen (one could even argue that Seabs made that jump last year as well).
Best part is they won’t be scraping up against the cap next year, trying to figure out if they’d rather keep Sharp or Bolland. Allows the team to build more team depth in the long-term and gives us a slightly deeper prospect pool.
Are the Hawks a better team next year because of this move? That’ll depend on what StanBow has in store. Are they a better team 3 years down the road? Probably.
They’re really high on Leddy, I’d assume they’d continue to play Campoli, so that only leaves 1 spot anyways for them to fill out, with all that extra room. It’s not as bad as it seems.

Being high
On an unproven player is a pretty big risk when you’re talking about your third dman. The Canucks are pretty high on Tanev but I certainly wouldn’t want him in the third spot to start the season. Every team is hopeful in the offseason that players will step up. I bet Edmonton fans looked at their roster in the off season last year and thought that if just a couple guys stepped up theyd make the playoffs
by Canuckelhead on Jun 26, 2011 1:41 AM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I’m sure Hjarm——son is their 3rd D. Point taken, Leddy will probably fit in 4th just from a pure potential standpoint, and Campoli fifth.

The only way it makes sense
Is because he wanted the two first rounders but that’s the moves of a rebuilding franchise, not a contender. Maybe it’s because they need to free up cap space to re-sign Sharp next year but the Blackhawks look considerably weaker to me. No depth throughout the line-up and a goalie who has played one good season. A lot of questions and wishful thinking when it comes to who will fill your line up.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 24, 2011 11:51 PM PDT up reply actions
Plus
They still need someone to fill Campbells minutes.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 24, 2011 11:53 PM PDT up reply actions
Not to mention
They took on a vastly overpaid forward so they didnt even get THAT much cap relief. Basically enough to secure Sharp.
by Canuckelhead on Jun 24, 2011 11:38 PM PDT up reply actions
and adding some pieces
Just having a core is not enough. Lu will have to have another Monster season and the playoffs are going to be brutal again. We need to work on managing injuries better in the playoffs.

How do we manage injuries though? These things happen when we have to play 20 more games than other teams… compounded with the worst travels of any team in the league. It’s just one of those things where we are placed naturally, in a worse position than other teams.
