@FowleBall15 @LydiaJames51868 @TOSharks Reid is like 4 inches taller than those guys and projects as a better defender. Was rated the second best defensive D in the OHL by opposing coaches. It’s possible Villeneuve can’t stick in the league if he doesn’t get stronger. Wasn’t he demoted to 3rd pair in the Q?

@Bronze0206 @hockeynhl27 @2MINIHULK Our version of the Hughes trade would be Eklund, Dickinson, Musty, 20OA. And Hughes only had a year and a half left on his contract. That’s a lot to give up. And if 2OA is seen as having more value, I’d rather trade that.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@hockeynhl27 @2MINIHULK I am saying trade for need! Trade 2OA. Eklund I don't think is good enough to get you a top pair guy. Maybe a package based around 2OA can?

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@718base @legalservicegod @robjon99 So is Stenberg (for a 2OA). It's a mid draft.

@CyclonePilot06 @IanBlogsHockey If Smits becomes Seider you take that though.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@ejmichele Reid’s hockey IQ and puck skills grade as higher than Dickinson which is why he’s getting graded out as higher.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@Gonzalezludde @thatssoleafy77 Except your argument was only about how well he’s produced at the SHL in his draft year.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@Gonzalezludde @thatssoleafy77 Like I said, scouting is more than draft year production.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@Gonzalezludde @thatssoleafy77 Projection is based on more than just production though. Carlson is bigger, better skater, and a center.

@DirtyDanTaxMan @alvisobeach @Sheng_Peng @CraigJButton @sjhockeynowpod @BringHockeyBack @BLADETECHHOCKEY I think Smits probably could play in the NHL next season, but I more meant in the long term fixing D via the draft. Agree that Reid won't be coming over immediately.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@alvisobeach @DirtyDanTaxMan @Sheng_Peng @CraigJButton @sjhockeynowpod @BringHockeyBack @BLADETECHHOCKEY Definitely disagree. If you are only drafting for who is best now, you will run an org into the ground. You think the Devils and Flyers are glad they passed on Cale Makar because he wasn't immediately NHL ready?

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@alvisobeach @Sheng_Peng @CraigJButton @sjhockeynowpod @BringHockeyBack @BLADETECHHOCKEY The FA D class is bad. Not much you can improve there. The better hope is via trade I think (or draft).

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@jackkv @timkawakami It’s possible that was the best offer because the league didn’t value the players available at 8 that much.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@Joshloz24 @Hockey_Robinson Oilers draft 1OA three years in a row

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@ontoaccount2 @Kneckt @colejennett @miketgould @scottcwheeler You can argue with the terminology all you want, but the rule has been clarified by the league in the past and drafting first by default does not towards the winning lottery rule.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@joseph_dycus For me I just trust the Valks player evaluation. They had the best expansion draft in league history.

Flaujae or whoever could be better than Martin, Chen, Stokes, Charles, LA. But I think they prioritized financial flexibility more than whatever upgrade the 8th pick brings.

@PaulyE1996 @All_N_Yo_Tweets It’s really hard to win a ring. Getting one ring in this stretch is a huge win.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@WhatsTheMeadow @RonoAnalyst I think Wennberg is a 3c. Just think Sherwood can play up more. They were dominating puck possession tho in that home stretch. Corsi kings.

[Tim Loux @TimothyLoux]

@PaulyE1996 @All_N_Yo_Tweets Yea if only the warriors could win a championship in the last six years!
