I would hope so, but what's tough is that what's the cost of moving up that isn't offset by what's lost if someone takes him sooner? I support moving up 100 percent mind you, but Dallas would want to be sure, and I think they'd need to trade a good eight spots up if they wanted that. Not sure what that's worth but it probably won't be an extra pick since Dallas doesn't have a lot of that.
Slim. He'll probably in the area where Bichsel went, so somewhere between #18-#25. The only reason I'm profiling him is that despite where I expect him to be picked, nobody has him ranked that high. So there's still a chance he'll be there. And to be fair, this draft is super deep, so you never know. Still, I feel like K'Andre Miller is the ceiling on players like this and where we can expect to see them picked in the future.
As far as Kyrou, yea. He's a small puck mover who lacks speed and skating. Sounds like Lundkvist. (Honka's problems were very different; super agile, not great acceleration though, but was a puck hog)
Great aricle! Elick would be a perfect fit for Stars prospect pool but he may not be available. And I don't think they would trade down for a "shutdown" defenceman in most cases.
But this year they have only 1 pick in first 4 rounds and they want to make it count. If Elick is their guy they might try it.
If Nill is high on him he won’t hesitate to move up I could see lundkvist and our #29 pick being used to move up

What odds do we put on Elick being available at 29?
Kyrou is another Lundqvist? Isn't Lundqvist another Honka?
