NHL superstars: Which goalie would you want in a Game 7?

The Blue Jackets suffered their eighth straight loss Thursday, and goalie Elvis Merzlikins doesn’t want his team to approach the Sabres’ infamous 18-game winless streak.

For a first-place team, there are plenty of questions surrounding the Bruins. They can answer some of them with a strong performance in Pittsburgh.

The big question is whether or not the Dallas Stars are going to trade the No. 3 overall pick, and throw the rest of the NHL Draft into a little bit of turmoil going forward. Dallas is in the situation of missing out on the consensus top two picks in Nolan Patrick and Nico Hischier, and perhaps drafting a player that won’t immediately help the NHL club in a draft class that’s been labeled so-so at best. With that in mind, it sure seems like Jim Nill is willing to talk if there’s another NHL general manager that’s hot to trot for a prospect at that spot, perhaps buying in on a big, strong, productive forward like Gabriel Vilardi after his Memorial Cup run or believing in a sharp-shooting prospect like Owen Tippett that could be a pure goal-scorer for a team in need of offense.
