40th pick overall ... where will we go with the pick ? Forward / Defence ?
Oh and for those who say you cant get anything with a later pick in this draft . Last year Brampton got Evengy Grachev

Last year Brampton got Evengy Grachev Teams can get a star well later then #40. It's about having the right contacts, $$, and of course, a solid organization. Not really a "draft".........more of a Free Agent Frenzy!

Nobody is saying we can't get a good player at 40, it's just a lot harder then it would be if we had a top 15 or 20 pick.
I'm sure you can find tons of examples of teams getting good players after 40, but there's a lot more examples of teams getting garbage..using a 1 in 10 example to prove your point is as stupid as saying there's no chance of getting a good player.

Not really a "draft".........more of a Free Agent Frenzy! Exactly. I'd be shocked if we didn't pick a forward in round 1 but when you're picking 40th a lot of what you do depends on what happens in the first 35 picks or so and what type of commitments you can get unless we go "off the board"(ie a Russian or Swede who could be more expensive)

Of course teams can get stars with later picks .. jesus we could take MPS with our pick . Do you think he's going to show up ? No. I meant we could get a good player that could show up . I was reading on another board where someone said if you dont have a top 20 pick the draft isnt worth even trying in .

Just because someone said something somewhere else doesn't mean it's true. It doesn't have to be 1 extreme or the other, it's just easier to get an impact player with a high pick....but the nature of the draft makes it possible for anyone to get a good player anywhere because it's not the usual best player goes #1.

Anything's possible but it won't be easy as most picks ahead of us have already been moved

well, seems to be sticking with his 'strategy' thus far in getting an older team to contend now rather than youth should be an interesting morning....stay tuned

O course you can move up in the second round by calling Cam Russell, he has a 61st pick that he doesn't require, I'm sure Mario can get that for a little, it sure beats 97th, let Mario know its available.
