I have it like this as well. Connolly if healthy though I think surpasses Skinner.

Nino > Johansen > Skinner/Connolly > Granlund/Tarasenko

1. Ry Jo- the number 1 center we have always lacked
2.Nino- would be jacked on the left side for yes to come, love his game, would love to have the best Swiss player ever on the thrash
3.Granlund- I havevwarmed to him a little bit, would love to have his playmaking ability here, hope skating issue is overblown
4.Jeffery skinner- a replacement and definite upgrade of Jeremy morin
5. Connolly- if we pick him then the team docs better be damn sure that the risks if reinjuring the hip is totally negligable

I'm not buying that we got Chicago's 2nd pick in the trade. NHL XM was wrong. So we only have these picks;

1st-8th
3rd-87th (from MTL-Schneider)
4th-101 (from DAL-Lehtonen)
5th-128 & 150 (from CHI-in exchange for a 6th from 09)
6th-158
7th-188

Lost 188 giving it to SJ to take those contracts off our hands so the Buff trade could go through.

I say we go all Mike Ditka and trade 87th thru 158 to move up into the 2nd or dream late 1st. Do it Duds, you know you want to.
