Quick poll, wanna see what my fellow fans think about TT's draft move, if any.
Things are quiet, so why not?
Predict what TT will do with our fist pick: move up, move down or stay put.
I'll give reasonings for either, and say my pick.
Move up: We have adequate firepower, having all our picks plus Kampman's compensatory pick. We could also trade some players, like Barnett, for picks. But the most important reason is the depth this team already have. We have 74 players on our roster, not counting the PS. Add the 8 draft picks, that's 82 players. For training camp only, the limit is 80! Let alone the 53 final roster. Wouldn't it be best to move up and take players that will more likely make the roster?
Move down: First of all, it's TT's MO. Not only that, but a higher pick doesn't necessarily guarantees a better player, and the more you pick, the more chances you have of finding a quality player. With the first tier probably out of reach, there could be no player worth of our 1st rounder, if so, TT would trade down.
Stay put: it's the most conventional, and, as with trading down, chances are we can't get those upper tier, and the difference between the second, third and fourth tier could be insignificant. If a player TT likes is there, he'll grab him.
I say TT moves up. I think there are some players that will fall to our trade reach, and I believe we have enough depth to afford the luxury of going for the kill in this draft.
Poll closes 1 day before the draft (April 29)
