So here's a hopefully-fun stupid question: There's a pretty good chance now that Toronto will be picking 30th and 31st. Normally two consecutive picks isn't that meaningful — you just choose two or three players one after another (or even at the same time sometimes? I forget if this happened with the Sedins). In the 30/31 case, though, there's a full day between picks. Is there anything new for Toronto to consider in this case? Like, is it possible that they hold off on picking someone at #30 because they feel like they can spend the night working out a trade for #31 (and, consequently, that player)?

ThinkTank posted:I really doubt the NHL would let them do that. They're trying to turn the first round into prime time drama viewing like the NBA or NFL draft, so finishing at 29 so the Leafs can work out a trade seems highly unlikely. With that said, knowing Dubas' reputation I imagine he'll just trade that first round pick for a 2nd and 4th or something. This is about the 30th and 31st picks. So Toronto would not choose whomever they had at #30 with the idea that they could either take him at #31 or trade that pick. There is no ending the first night early.

Needless complication is the point of the exercise! You have two consecutive picks, with a day between them. What stupid poo poo could you get up to?

El Gallinero Gros posted:How good of a chance is there Calgary picks walking Coke machine Logan Brown? I suspect I'd like to avoid that.....I'd much rather they pick Nylander, Tkachuk or Juolevi if they can. For a guy who hollers about truculence, Burke-run teams tend to be good about going with skill for their high picks. Late first you're in trouble, but probably safe from coke machines in the top 10. (Also Brown's going to the Canucks at 5 lmao.)

The best part about the combine is the Q&A because of the insane stories that emerge out of it. Like the one team that asked prospects to assemble a team for world historical figures to go up a mountain and one prospect picked Hitler as the leader because of some poo poo like "well he seemed pretty good at getting people to do stuff."

El Gallinero Gros posted:Please tell me there are more stories like that. Although I'm not sure there are any that'll top an NFL GM mistakenly asking a top prospect about his mom's past as a prostitute (she wasn't one). quote:Ho-Sang says he was told that he played too selfishly, that he didn’t operate within the team’s systems. It wouldn’t be the last time he heard it. At the NHL Combine Ho-Sang was asked to interview with just 18 of the league’s 30 teams, a conspicuously low number for a player of his talent. Rumours swirled that Ho-Sang was on some teams’ do-not-draft lists, and that his attitude and maturity had turned many GMs off. Some of his interviews were essentially confrontations. He says that he walked into one room and the first thing a team said to him was “Why are you so poo poo defensively?” Ho-Sang asserted that he wasn’t, citing his plus-minus and his even-strength points. “They just kept going on about how I don’t play defence and how selfish I am. I just kept telling them I don’t get scored on. I have the puck. We’re good. I may not be in the position you want me to be in, but I don’t get scored on,” Ho-Sang says. “And they’d say, ‘Well, you will at the next level.’ But how do they know? That’s like saying it’s going to rain tomorrow. You may have a lot of the facts, but you still can’t control the weather.”

Good news for Canucks fans — he says that it is pretty likely that Vancouver takes Dubios. Even better news for Canucks fans — he says there's also a good chance that it's Calgary who takes Logan Brown.

I mean, Puljujarvi almost certainly goes here since if Columbus doesn't want him they'll trade the #3 to someone who does.
