  1. He won't be there at our pick. Satoshi Nakamototy time for a pandemic. Typically I'd be familiar with a handful of players. Now it's only what I read and typically don't trust. And I'm only an hour from U of M😭
  2. Dunn-Soucy, I'd say those 2 are only 3rd pairing guys because of Minny and St. Loos D depth. Both solid dmen. Their D looks really good. A couple of their young centers have a chance to be keepers(Geekie, True). Don't get the Philly or CHI picks, but they're likely smarter than me. Gourde-McCann-Eberle is a pretty solid 2nd line. Tanev-Appleton-Donskoi? Not terrible lines.
  3. Amazing no one thought to look at how devastated the Wings franchise had become due to his stupidity. 32yr old frans nielsen, 6yrs, 5.25 per to replace Datsyuk. He loves giving term to make sure he destroys the future. The Wings had to wait and clean house, Holland left zero choice. Now he's doing the same to the Oilers.
  4. Welcome to Ken Holland Edmonton. Now he'll give Hyman too much term and $$$, like Hyman is a saviour.lol Next year will really be fun with plenty of players to re-up and no money to do it.
  5. I disagree. Times have changed. A teams's core is what you can build upon. The bottom 14 is inevitably more important than your Top 5.
  6. That surprises me. He's been a disappointment.
  7. John Quenneville selected from the Hawks. Yzerman is the only GM in the league without leaks:) But obviously they'll take Stecher.lol
  8. Here come the Seattle Hurricanes.lol
  9. Here's the so far... Anaheim - Haydn Fleury Arizona - Tyler Pitlick Boston - Jeremy Lauzon Buffalo - Will Borgen Calgary - Mark Giordano Carolina - Morgan Geekie Chicago - John Quenneville Colorado - Joonis Donskoi Columbus - Gavin Bayreuther Dallas - Jamie Oleksiak Detroit - Dennis Cholowski Edmonton - Adam Larsson Florida - Chris Driedger Los Angeles - Kurtis MacDermid Minnesota - Carson Soucy Montreal - Cale Fleury Nashville - Calle Jarnkrok New Jersey - Nathan Bastian New York Islanders - Jordan Eberle New York Rangers - Colin Blackwell Ottawa - Joey Daccord Philadelphia - Carsen Twarynski Pittsburgh - Brandon Tanev San Jose - Alex True St. Louis - Vince Dunn Tampa Bay - Yanni Gourde Toronto - Jared McCann Vancouver - Kole Lind Washington - Vitek Vanecek Winnipeg - Mason Appleton
  10. And Vince Dunn. The already look better than us...
  11. Indeed the end of an era. Hope he shines.
  12. The news broke when he wasn't protected.lol There were zero other choices from our roster.
  13. Thanks Sak, I should never rely on my old guy memory.😂 My most vivid memory from that draft was watching Chychrun fall. I'm a Sarnia guy, so seeing Van take Juolevi and Chychrun fall, I was completely beside myself. I think it was Sergachev before Chychrun too. All I could think was jfc, how did any scout come to this conclusion? Mind blown. Then I was, "YES!! Detroit!!" Nope.🙄 One lousy jr tourney of Chychrun trying to carry all of the weight, inexplicably led to his fall. WJC, all those tourneys, I have no idea why they carry any leverage, period. They should be nothing tourneys just fun to watch. But scouts are generally back-slapping, keg tapping shmoozers anyways, parading in self-importance at the rink. *end rant*😂
  14. Oh, just for one upsmanship, Carty gave me my Yzerman game-worn jersey. lol We met when I took him to a game just because, never met before. But he gave me the jersey on my 3rd visit, I brought 420, whom we'd never met. It was a blast. If I were still in Calgary, I'd promote that a lot more, not sure what took me so long.
  15. Detroit(Holland) traded their 16th(Chychrun) for Datsyuk's contract. Straight across I believe. Yes Datsyuk finished with the 'yotes, because Holland loves Cap he'll. People are throwing genius around sarcastically re Yzerman. We'll folks, only Seattle has more cap space than Detroit. He got a lousy cap hell team. 2 year purge, stay crappy, we have another expansion draft. He had to rebuild, now no way Seattle becomes Vegas mach2. It's pretty genius, I think. By genius I mean by NHL GM standards. The rest of us know it as, "practical".
  16. He can look for whatever he wants.lol 7 x 6 isn't realistic.
  17. I think this is how deals are made on the floor. I believe gms have an indication of who is taking who or why would anyone trade up or down?
  18. Perhaps knowing Vasi would still be available. Spencer Knight was 13th oa 2 yrs ago and already looks like he'll be something. My only point is that goalies are ranked that high, there is a chance he'll be a bonafide #1 before long, in this day and age of scouting to death.
  19. Having said that td, I can't help but wonder when Yzerman will take Wallstedt. #6? He has 5 picks in the top 51 so room to maneuver with someone around our pick, philly or Rangers. My vote is to take Wallstedt. Or we could be watching a rerun of Vasilevsky. My feeling is Yzerman is in, "what do we need" mode, not bpa. See Moritz Seider. And he's deathly patient with prospects. He's taken the team to ground level to build what he wants. Getting a high calibre goalie in the draft is literally winning the draft. It's worth the risk or you pay through the teeth to get what's available for a good goalie in the future. But it's the Flames. We were willing to wait 5 yrs for Jankowski while Vasi was establishing himself as the league's top goalie.
  20. So from 2010 to being convicted in 2014, how many victims could there potentially be? https://www.wnmufm.org/term/bradley-aldrich#stream/0
  21. Damn, rough game for Pelech, thought he shoulda been benched after running Point into Varlamov. But no, continued relentlessly turning the puck over in his own end. Turning into a great series. The 4 remaining teams have the best goalies in the league. Great bounce-back year for Varlamov.
