Uncle Mike and I are gonna have to talk one-on-one. Why hasn't the National Champ gone!

I should be transparent about my fandom for USA Hockey. It's the region I scout, working out of the Chicago area! So forgive my eagerness!

Could u see Colorado trading Girard and taking one of the dmen here? They could use the cap flexibility

Gabriel Foley

7:19

That's a great idea - take advantage of the fall and get someone who will be cost-controlled for a bit longer! I wonder if Colorado holds their breath through these next few picks, then makes a call to Buffalo

Speaking of - the Sabres have to be giddy for a move, right?? In a spot to take any and all calls!

I would have taken Silayev before Buium also but way before now. I'm confused, But it's not a new thing.

Gabriel Foley

7:20

Fair enough!

Kevin

7:20

The Sharks have this pick.

Gabriel Foley

7:20

Oh yeah, I'm just getting eager. My hope and prayer is Eiserman here. Pair him up with his old best friend!

UncleMike1526

7:21

I think Dvidson is getting itchy right now. After having Hage in his own backyard to scout at will.

Gabriel Foley

7:22

Again, there's some unease that Eiserman may need the right surrounding to really thrive. But his upside is elite, record-breaking goal-scoring. And it was Celebrini who helped him learn his strengths. Has to be... has to be...

Boz

7:22

Drum roll

Gabriel Foley

7:22

Awe my goodness!

7:23

Well I must just be getting ahead of myself or something.

Gbear

7:23

If I did a mock draft, it would be a mockery by now.

Gabriel Foley

7:23

You and me both!

What do we think of the Dickinson pick? San Jose gets a burly, projectable defender but one whose upside may not be as sparkly as some of his peers.

7:24

I'll tell ya, my heart ACHES to not see Eiserman here!

UncleMike1526

7:24

Mine would have been a mess after 3

Gbear

7:24

Size still rules on NHL team draft boards it seems.

Gabriel Foley

7:24

I could see a fit for "Eisey" in Philadelphia or Minnesota. The Wild have seemed confident he's their pick. I suppose Philly is probably happy to see Buium!

Boz

7:24

Eiserman & Yzerman ?

Zakis

7:25

Not who I would have gone with if I was GMMG, think, as you've stated, Eiserman would have been a perfect running mate for Macklin

The Donny V

7:25

Man if Eiserman would fall to 22 I'd be dreaming

Kevin

7:25

Perhaps a chance to reunite the Buium brothers.

Gabriel Foley

7:25

That'd be FUN

7:26

One impressive note on Dickinson - he started the year behind two NHL draft picks, and worked his way over both on the depth chart. He should only continue to grow with more top opportunity!

Gbear

7:26

Yes, Eiserman to the Preds!

Gabriel Foley

7:26

I'm thinking Buium to Philly, Eiserman to Minny, and then Buffalo better do something fun!

UncleMike1526

7:26

So Zeve is the green room drama tonight

Gabriel Foley

7:26

He said he had 80 family members traveling to Vegas for the pick. I guess he wants to maximize his time with them.

Drury Wants the Jewelry

7:27

Any team making a leap up the board tonight?

Boz

7:27

Trade?

Zakis

7:27

If Buium is there at 13, do the Wild still try to trade the pick for McGroarty or take Buium?

Gabriel Foley

7:27

I have to think a trade is coming before the teens end. There are too many strong players available!

7:28

If I'm the Wild - I'm prioritizing defense, especially with Spurgeon's role on the rocks. Take it while you can!

Wow, looks like we have a trade! Let's see... who is trading up for Buium??

The Donny V

7:28

The real question is what was moved just now?!

UncleMike1526

7:29

Think a trade is happening now

Gabriel Foley

7:29

Yup, we've got a trade! Details are incoming!

The Donny V

7:29

Travis K is gone I'm guessing
