2016 NHL Draft

[JurassicTunga12]

Lengthy Patrik Laine 2015-16 highlight video:

Is the 4th round pick from Max Reinhart based on the number of NHL games he played this year? Does it turn into a lower pick if that condition is not met, or does it completely vanish?

I would really like to know, since the picks are pretty set in stone after the trade deadline.

*Calgary receives 2016 NSH 4 if Max Reinhart plays an undisclosed number of NHL games in the 2015-16 regular season/playoffs for the Nashville Predators. If the condition is not met, no pick will be provided.

Nobody knows for sure, but General Fanager reckons its based on the number of NHL games he plays this season. Which is looking like none, so personally, I would be surprised if we got this pick. No biggie.

So I run the simulator once a day for fun. Today it came up: Calgary, Phoenix, Columbus. Just hypothetically, what would it take for you to swap with Columbus or Phoenix? I could see the coyotes being very aggressive given Matthews star potential and because he's a local kid.

Personally. I don't see him as head and shoulders better than the two Fins

I assume you mean if the Yotes hold the 2nd or 3rd pick?

I could see them giving up maybe Duclair (max, and certainly no more than that, probably less)

Ya. I figured maybe the 2nd overall and Duclair. If that was the case I'd also want their 2nd rounder.

I meant Duclair + their pick

No way the Flames, or any team, gives up the 1st overall just for Duclair

Or are you saying the 2nd + 32nd + Duclair?

[Vulcan]

Any word on whether the two Finns are willing to come to NA next season. I think any of the top three picks are ready to step into the line up next season. Not to sure of the rest.

I think Matthews is much better than Laine. I'd rather just draft the BPA and have one of the best C depth in the NHL for the next 8-12 years!

Gaudreau - Matthews -
Bennett - Monahan -

That's looking really deadly to me!

[Jaydee]

I REALLY doubt they give the 2nd overall + duclair

Yes. Matthews will be more valuable to Arizona than any other team because he's local.

ARI has a ton of young talent. So theoretically they could part with some.
Duclair(LW), Christian Dvorak(C), Christian Fischer(RW), Conor Garland(RW) all interest me. I would assume Strome is untouchable for them.

Move down with CBJ? I'd move down for Werenksi.

Wow. That looks pretty damn good.

OEL + their pick.

Pay up or go home, $hitty Phoenix.

From the TSN segment as well. If we do end up drafting 5th overall, i'd be ecstatic if we end up drafting Dubois. One of my favorite guys on the list for sure.

I wonder what kind of player the Flames would be drafting if Dallas pulls it off and we get 27th to 30th pick.

Alex DeBrincat!

Though Craig Button has him ranked as high as #21... damn.

I hope we're able to use one of our 2nd rounders on Tyler Benson.

The kid has 1st round upside, he's just been extremely unlucky due to injuries. I think he'd be a great value pick with our 2nd.
