Tor takes McKenna 1st overall
Tor takes Karmonov at 60 (7-foot-tall and can skate)
Tor - Nylander, Robertson, #69 (3rd rnd pick), #114 (4th rnd pick)
Sea - #7 overall, Catton
Seattle wants to get better now. Toronto gets 2 top prospects for 1 of the better goal scorers over the last 2 years. Toronto takes Smits at 7th overall (Early comparisons to Seider).
Tor - 2027 1st, Knies, Reilly
Min- Hughes
This one is a swing. I know poeple don't want to give up Knies but Hughes is a top 2 d-man in the league. Toronto sells Hughes on playing with Matthews and McKenna.
Now Toronto is going to need offence.
Tor - Carlo, Stolarz
Phi - Tippett
McKenna-Matthews-Cowan
Tippett-Catton-Domi
Joshua-Tavares-Free Agent
Groulx-Quillan-Tverberg
Hughes-Tanev
McCabe-OEL
Free Agent-Smits
Danford
Woll
Hilldeby
Eventually Smits works his way up to playing with Hughes. Free agents to look at could be trouba, Lauzon, Carlson on back end and Tarasenko, Perry, Jenner, Tolvanen, Laughton, malenstyn up front
Anyone not named thats on an NHL deal trade for picks.

All good but Domi still appears.
And in the second line ?

I like the idea. But we must get a solid D somehow in this draft. Trade/draft, don’t care. I’m big on Chase Reid. I’d trade down a few spots, get some compensation, then go for Chase. Personally don’t think Minny would move Hughes. Maybe Faber for a solid return like Matthews. I suggested earlier that Matthews, Carlo would be a good trade for Faber and Boldy.

Well if Solid D is what you are looking for in theis draft Clarky, I think we can trade down and get who I think is the steal of the draft, plus additional pieces. We trade down to #4 to Chicago and get greedy (Afterall we are giving them the 1st overall) and ask for their 4th, Vanacker and Pridham. We then take Albert Smits.... this kid has played at every single level you could think of this year, Club Junior and Club Professional in Finland, World Junior for Latvia, Pro in Germany on Loan from his Club in Finland, Olympics for Latvia and the World Championships for Latvie. He doesn't care who he plays against or at what level. He Skates and hits at the same skill level of the players he plays againest or above in any of those Environments.
I love Verhoeff but Smits right now is the most pro ready of all the defensemen available and still has not hit his peak or even close to it. He got lost in the shuffle of the Fixation of the North American defensemen but he is certainly the real deal and it would not be a bad trade to purue especially with the Pridham and Vanacker in there as well. Chicago might bite even at that hight price, because McKenna with his Cousin Bedard (Who both really had not idea who they were because they are so far apart in the cousins family tree) would see tickets, and barring that Frondell with Stenberg would sell tickets as well.

The problem you have is pretty clear: you move Nylander for a high pick and prospect but leave a huge hole in your lineup. I’m all for moving Willy if it’s a deal that makes sense.

Forward group is not good... Domi on second line says it all.
