Caps-holtby
Flyers-2nd overall

Sign grubi long term, he's proving he's a #1 goalie especially after his 48 save 2-1 loss to Canada with Germany.
Helps philly with their goalie problem which they need help with to make them contenders, helps caps become faster and younger will still having a number one goalie

Opinions on who adds would be nice or is it even, I was thinking Philly adds a guy like nick cousins or something because nico(probs 2nd overall) hasn't proved anything yet in the NHL

lol
2017 Vesna candidate for 2nd overall in the poorest draft year in a very long time.
Me thinks Philly better offer up perhaps Provorov, and Simmonds along with this pick to get in the ballpark.

The draft is week but this draft reminds me of a arguing hall type draft in the first 2 guys.

Only because two guy have separated from the pack is it similar to hall/ seguin but the class isn't expected to be deep after that. While after those two in 2010 were still johansen, skinner, fowler, tarasenko, kuznetsov and so on. That was not expected to be a weak draft like this one is.

the flyers have some of the best Goalie prospects in the league. they'll sign a stop gap like Ryan Miller for a year, and either use their pick, or trade it for a goal scorer. Landeskog.

I love the "Grubrauer stopped 48 shots losing 2-1 to Canada so he's now a number 1 and you don't need Holtby" part lol

Sochi 2014, Latvia lost 2-1 to Canada and Kristers Gudlevskis stopped 55 shots. I was shocked when yzerman didn't cut Ben bishop AND Andrei Vaselievsky upon returning home because gudlevskis had clearly leaped them both on the depth chart. Come on.

3 seasons later he's still a really good AHL goalie who will now probably back up vasilevsky in the fall.

Holtby is a vezina caliber goalie at 27. Is it really time to push him out because his back up had a good week overseas? NO!

BTW 2014 Sochi was Canada's A squad. The Worlds in France and Germany last week was somewhere between a b and c squad.
