I think Ottawa's pick will likely end up higher though not Hughes higher (I'd be ecstatic if it was second and we took Kakko but again unlikely and probably irrelevant to the roster as they'd do the same as with Kaut I would think or minimum as they did with Mikko). Wolf might fall to the third round so I'd actually consider Knight for the second and Wolf in the third if he's still there. I realise two goalies taken that high in the draft by a team is probably unusual but the Avs lack depth at that position, and I'd take a gamble on Gahagen as a free agent for the Eagles as he should have finished his military service by then.

I like Compher with Jost and Kerfoot and Kerfoot has to be the centre on that line. I don't see Jost other than as a wing even though he was drafted as a centre. Greer hasn't shown much in the NHL to date even if his AHL stats are good this year. I think he's more trade bait than a likely piece. Kerfoot's money may be a bit high and Zadorov is likely to want more I expect (even if there is a question mark on whether he deserves more). Makar or Timmins will be in ahead of Meloche. I feel a bit sorry for Meloche as he's a decent looking D and again he could be used in a trade as 'Righties' are always at a premium. Nieto & Barberio could be traded if we can add someone more useful, both decent but upgrades would be good or maybe trade Barberio and give Graves a look, and Nieto's slot could be filled by Greer.

Barrie is going to be an interesting one and I'm still in favour of converting him to wing to allow Makar/Timmins/Meloche to come through, but he may get traded. Varly I'd bring back IF he took a pay cut (to make up for all the time the Avs have stuck by him whilst injured), because that tandem is looking awesome at the moment. Grubauer could be traded to Columbus and acquire another late first as an alternative and re-sign Varly with Francouz as back up IF he's showing that he's good enough (looking good so far in the AHL). Wilson I'd also consider bringing back for the right money.

All hypothetical but on that line up I'd switch Makar in for Meloche, Kerfoot to centre, Jost to the left and switch Kaut and Compher.

Thread: Carter and Duchene
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skywalker87</b></div><div>I don't mind the duchene trade. I would sooner have pulock over hamonic, but hamonics contract is nice for now and move able later. What can you tell me about dal Colle</div></div>

Dal Colle is a Big body power winger with a very sound 2 way game. He had a scoring touch and great offensive vision (in that he knew where players were without looking at them, and could anticipate where they were going) in Juniors. he didn't quite translate to the pro game as quickly as we all hoped. but as many prospects notice, the speed of the game at the NHL level is much greater than that in juniors. it seems though after a decent year in the AHL, after one more year he should be ready for a top 6 role on an NHL roster

thats my take.
