B1GKappa97 Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I don't like how San Jose has been willing to make bad deals with us for the last few seasons and now decides to be savvy and screw us over >:( WTF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Not really. They didn't move Minnesota any further down by trading. If all this means is one of the 4-5 likely names isn't there anymore, then a different one will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1GKappa97 Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 They moved up ahead of us so they can make sure to draft a guy that we would've taken ahead of them at #13. Very likely to be a defenseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Cool. I'm fine with whatever they let fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) I've seen a few mocks thinking Eiserman at San Jose is the play with the trade, Helenius to Philly, and then Yakemchuk/Sennecke might be the play for us after that. Again, not gonna say no to either if that's the case. Even Iginla/Dickinson are still being thrown as a possibility. The Wild have too many needs in too many spots to be choosy and worry about the "perfect" player. It doesn't help that there's just no consensus either. Take what they get, don't be cute, and hope that player becomes that solid secondary scoring or defensive option the team needs.

Protec Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Boy who would you take between Yakemchuk and Sennecke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Strife Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 It really depends. Sennecke could really bolster the...less than stellar right wing options. He'd probably be ready by the time Zuccarello's contract is done. Yakemchuk has more physicality, but might have the same issues Dumba or Burns had. Still, offensive skill with size on the backend is not something the Wild have really had for...20 years? Yakemchuk personally, though I'd not be angry if Sennecke isn't taken top 10 like some assume. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will D. Ness Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I like both too. Leaning Yakemchuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dango Verified Member Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I just did a little research on draft picks , since the Wild entered the league they had 1, 3rd overall pick or higher. the Hawks will get their 6th pick 3rd overall or higher , Edmontons had 5 , be interesting to make some sort of grading system based on draft position .
