10th best defenseman in the league. I wouldn't put him ahead of Karlsson or Petro...so maybe he could move up a spot or two...but how much further?

I agree I'm just thinking along the lines of hearing what all te pundits say paired with other team's fans not seeing him much. I also look at it in trade terms.

Letang for

Doughty
Subban
Weber
Karlsson

Absolutely

Letang for

Pietrangelo
Hedman
Chara (only due to age, he's gonna be a steal pretty soon)
Suter

I feel like is even money. So I don't believe he's in that elite tier quite yet, he's very close but the injury problems/stroke put up big questions for sure. If he comes out this year and puts up 60ish points slog with 25+ mins a night I think he can elevate himself into that upper tier. (As can those others that I put at even money to Letang)

Oh man. I need someone to fall to me.

He was close to being our pick, or at least my vote for the pick. I'm happy going the way we did, though.

I would laugh if you were all talking about a different person.

surprised patch went this early

Post by **Kovy27** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 11:37 am

I like the line of Patch - Kopi - Kane

I was really torn between 4 people there though.

Man, did I miss a lot of picks.

REALLY like the Victor Hedman pick. He's up there with Duncan Keith and Ekman-Larsson, I think. If he was left at my pick, I would've chosen him 100%. Too good to pass up. Also really like the Parise and Pacioretty picks. Two high-quality left-wingers.

If anyone wants to trade up, let me know your offer; I'm debating trading down here to get better picks in the next couple rounds versus just hoping two people fall to me.

I'd be surprised if we were talking about the same person.

We can't possibly be all talking about the same guy, because if he were that obvious ...

Obviously the discussion is about the elite James Neal

I think there's one super obvious guy who has yet to be picked. A for sure top 20 player in the league.

Post by **Avyran** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 11:52 am

Nah, it's Jagr.

Letang Is The Truth · Mon Jul 28, 2014 11:55 am

there are a lot of good players available

Yeah, I know who you're talking about. I currently have 3 targets that I'm going for, but he is really, really hard not to pick here...

Team's philosophies are starting to show.

I wouldn't say the guy I have in mind is super obvious, tbh.

To be honest, my philosophy is "who's good and what positions do I need to fill?".

Post by **Avyran** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:08 pm

As I said, there are at least 3 other players that I was highly considering for that spot. But I couldn't pass up Zdeno Chara.

Perhaps the best slap shot in the game (alongside Weber, Byfuglien, and others); he'll make my power-play incredible with Backes in front, Bergeron or Toews winning faceoffs, and him taking shots. Without a doubt the #1 defender for the Bruins - a stay-at-home, clear the net, aggravate-the-opposition type of defender. Lots of hits, lots of blocked shots. Again, captain for that team (I now have 3 captains and one assistant on my team - so much leadership!).

Also, I now REALLY want to move up. So if anyone's unsure of their next pick, lemme know & I'll try to work a trade.

I like trades.

Also, Mikey or a few others, can I send you a PM asking for advice on a certain player? I've seen stats for him, but I've never seen him play.

MalkinIsMyHomeboy · Post by **MalkinIsMyHomeboy** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:09 pm

I had Chara as the best on the board right now so that's a solid pick.

Pavel Bure · Post by **Pavel Bure** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 12:10 pm

There's the guy I was thinking of. Big, mean, leader, not the best skater but a #1 for sure.

I'm down to..uh, move down. What are you willing to trade? A 5th and a 6th?

EDIT: or did pcm just take your guy?
