Commandant Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 With St. Louis' loss to Chicago, the Kings have clinched a playoff spot. We get that sweet, sweet fourth round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 How’s the Montoya plays coming along? And what are our picks looking like with the current standings? Honestly that Chicago second rounder is lookin pretty nice alongside ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Four 2nd and three 4th rounders, 11 picks all told. Big question, would you prefer to use all picks to help restock prospect pool, or do you look to parlay two 2nds and a 4th into a late 1st round pick? https://bluebulletreport.com/2016/06/01/blue-bullet-draft-pick-value-chart/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 I would rather have 2 seconds and a 4th than the late first rounder. The probability of success is much higher with 2 seconds vs 1 late first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yea, unless someone drops inexplicably, I think all these picks is a great time to retool. 4 second rounders and 3 fourths is actually pretty crazy. I hope Timmons can do some of his Gallagher/Hudon drafting with those forths. Now we just need better drafting with those seconds. With those I’d WAY rather a Vitaly Abramov or Aleksi Heponiemi over Mike MacCarron. Let’s draft for pure speed and skill, and if we have a surplus a year or two down the road, trade for needs.

Is there good skill in the 20-30 range, worth trading up for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Since 2003 we oddly have a worse record with fourth round picks than fifth round picks. 4th Round: Mete 5th Round: Grabovski, Dumont, Gallagher, Hudon It's more coincidence than anything, just interesting. If Primeau becomes a star we will have more 7th round and up picks succeeding than fourth (Sergei Kostitsyn, Jaroslav Halak and Mark Streit in the 9th round) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm glad we got the 4th back. I'm liking this draft. Good depth with some good/solid sleeper picks sprinkled through out. It also gives the Habs some options. Would there be any consideration in trading one of the 4th rounders for a guy like Adam Mascherin who seems to want to spurn the Panthers and re-enter the draft. I mean Panthers have no leverage here. A couple years ago we saw Jimmy Vesey get dealt to Buffalo for a 3rd when he spurned Nashville. Vesey was more NHL ready and a better prospect at the time than Mascherin. So a 4th should do it for Mascherin? I'm guessing he gets re-drafted in the 2nd/3rd round this year.

Toronthab Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I sure wish I had something intelligent to say about this. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
