next years draft have crosby or 3 1 round picks?
 

what situation would u rather have as the rangers

1.)trade jagr at the dead line for a 1st and somemore

have 3 first rounders top 5 top 15 and around 25

so have 3 first rounders and 2 or three second rounders


or

2.)have the number 1 overal pick


personally i like the lightning and pistons philosophy lots of good to great players and no one superstar

so i like number 1

<<<<<<<<<<<<
 

if your giving me Brule, Holzinger, and Charnov in the first roudn (three guys i absolutely love now) plus a few second rounders than i would definitely take that package over Sidney "Snappy happy" Crosby.

I'll take Jagr and Crosby. no-brainer.

thats what im saying i like johnson a lot more than brule but very happily take either


by the way name is for slats if he ever comes on here he will think we love him and mabye listen to us

its getting to the point were it is going well and im just wait to see tytin trade for pronger just waiting for something for us to be pissed off about

I'll take three potential star players over one potential super star. And that saying, if we get a Brule or Bertram they are also potential super stars (or at least high end players).

depends on where the 3 1st rounders are...

are we talking 2, 3, 5 where we can land brule, johnson and latendresse...or are you talking about having 2 picks in the 20-30 range??

obviously any team trading for jagr will be late in the 1st round...but where those picks are and who might be available makes a world of difference

I don't want Latendresse. I'd rather have Bertram or Setoguchi.

well we(as rangers fans) already having korpokoski in our future first line and next years middle second rounders will have better potential than him if we can get 6 or 7 pick in the top two rounds we will be set for a long time

how man picks do we have so far in 05?


so i would rather have two first and 4 senconds than having a #1 and 2 senconds (1 being very late flyers pick)

i think we will end up with a top five and a 20 with 3 seconds and 2 3rds my personal prediction

So far we have our first rounder

our second rounder
Philly's second rounder
Toronto's second rounder.

Es-plain Lucy.

those 3 names were just thrown out as examples...the basic point is that there is a huge difference between having 3 picks in the top 10 and having like washington did this year with 3 1st rounders but 2 of the 3 in the 25-30 range

It's hard to say that the Lightning don't have a superstar when St. Louis won the Hart and the Pearson. And when they drafted Vinny (first overall), the Tampa owner called Lacavalier the "Michael Jordan of hockey." These are not superstars?

You could probably lump Bulin into that star group as well...

Crosby does not = Stanley Cup.

Winning is everything. Stars are only nice when they win. I say play out the entire season to win every game and if your lucky enough to draft Sidney Crosby then fine. Losing games on purpose won't get you Crosby. And if it does, doesnt mean you'll win anything. I have a feeling the Rangers are going to do what the Mets did. Be on the cusp of making the playoffs at the trade deadline and trade 3 young prospects who they just added or drafted for 3 vetern players.

am i wrong???

Yea, the Rangers will be 15 games out at the deadline, otherwise I'd probably agree with you.

Rev,

How would you rate - Bertram, Setoguchi, Johnson, Anikeenko, and Latendresse?

I dont think so, this year I think they will OVER achieve, not under.

This is a big draft for depth and you guys are a rebuilding team.

Stock up on picks and fill 2 or 3 needs. Draft a few strong defensive prospects, especially mean ones. You'll probably be able to get some scoring with your own first pick (which should be top 10).

Those second rounders are going to be valuable. In a class like this (or 2001 or 2003) you can pick up money players in round two, as you guys well know with Tjutin.

Machoking? What are you choking on?

who said anything about losing on purpose?? expecting the team to be bad and wanting them to lose on purpose aren't even close to being the same...

i expect 110% effort from the kids every night, but barring changes our current roster isn't much better than what pittsburgh had last year. so despite the effort, i think we'll be looking at a bottom 3 finish. maybe they will do better, but that is where i realistically see them finishing...

besides before a team can 'lose on purpose' they have to be capable of winning first...

As great a draft as it's projected to be, drafts in general are crapshoots. I'd rather take as sure a thing as Crosby who's dominated every level he's played in rather than three very good players who "might" make an impact. With Crosby and our three second round picks plus this past years draft, we will be in GREAT shape.

Crosby, who's an outstanding playmaker, will make all our other prospects better.

Its a no brainer.

You take Crosby.

Players you get at #5, #15 and #25 dont even compare.

Think about it. Only 50% of 1st rounders become solid NHLers. lets assume #5 and #15 do. That still isnt very favourable.

You take the best player in the world for his age range.


Its quite laughable people are actualy debating what to do.

Im not Rev but ill rate them...you dont need to listen to my opinion :)

Latendresse
Anikennko
Setoguchi
Johnson
Bertram

BUT, they are all fairly close. Ask 10 people and they will arrange them differently.

same list for me ...
Latendresse is the next big thing!after Nash,Thornton and Bertuzzi ..
i like him a looooots..
and i want the habs to grab him ! :banana:

Those are good lists, i'd put Jack Johnson ahead of Setoguchi because i'm not a biased Canadian :p:
