Roger Neilsons Towel Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Hope this is a precursor to a move that makes this make sense. Otherwise we’re just collecting former penguins and spending a draft pick on a player we don’t really need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper007 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Good pickup for minimal cost. Also a RH shot who can take faceoffs. Studnicka wasn’t a pker so he didn’t really have a role on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lafferty only plays 10-15 games as a Canuck, odds are that is 10-15 more than a fifth round pick would have played. With that logic every team should trade away every 5th round pick. Drafting is all about volume. Need more picks to increase odds of finding a gem. We keep trading away picks year after year. And look how weak our prospect pool is. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, with my logic it’s not a pick worth crying over. Nothing more, nothing less. Edited October 8, 2023 by canuck73_3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Ramone Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Like the move, RH shot is the big selling point, but he's also fast, chippy and helps the PK Clearly the coaching staff identified a need Also, we can find another 5th pick pretty easy I'd imagine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks we keep trading away that have caused that problem, not our 5th round picks. Also, if everyone traded away their 5th round picks, everyone would end up with someone else's 5th round picks or 1 team would have too many picks because they would only be able to sign a select few, negating the benefit of such a "feat". lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngould21 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I haven't seen anything in Studnicka to keep him in the lineup. That said far too many forwards, is Lafferty going to be part of a package for a defenseman? We've had too many of the Schallers, Dries, Joshuas, et al over the years. Time for some of the kids that are in our system to get a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the higher rounds are more impactful, but that doesn't mean throw away every 4th or later to acquire plugs like we continuously do.

Trebreh Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Kuzmenko - Petey - Mikheyev DGP - Miller - Boeser Beauvillier - Suter - Garland Blueger - Lafferty - Joshua our bottom 6 looks solid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 If later picks were worthless, the other team wouldn't be asking for a pick back, but would just trade for 'future considerations" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
