All 👀 could be on these 5️⃣ teams during the NHL draft. (via lukefoxjukebox)
Although it took too long for the Kings to embrace a reset, GM Rob Blake’s January trade of core defenceman Jake Muzzin to Toronto for a first-rounder and a pair of enticing prospects signaled a concerted effort to get younger and faster.
“We have full confidence that with whatever changes are made, we can improve next season and make a run for the playoffs.”Of all five teams on this list, we’re pegging Buffalo as least likely to trade a first-rounder — mostly because the Sabres don’t hold a second-round pick this year as a result of last summer’s Jeff Skinner deal.
“We’re looking long term here,” Botterill told reporters. “We can understand a fan’s perspective, but it can’t impact our decisions, our vision of how our team needs to eventually look.” “We’ve got a lot of work to do. We got three picks in the top 40, and I’m looking forward to that part of it. I think there are some very good players in the top of this draft.”
