Occam's Razor, and it is 1000% true, we've learned nothing from Jankowski. In fact I could simplify it further than Nepotism. Laziness. p..s...I Will support both Coronato and Stromgren going forward, both are worthy of following. But we need changes high up. Preferably before these next two massive draft years coming our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zima Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 I don't know perhaps Fox like I said Im a glass half empty not full sorry I hate picking NCAA players they are an unkown they could just decide to go else were I just wish they would have stayed away from college pl;ayers. By the way it is my right to have an opinion that you might not agree with and I could be right at the end and I could be wrong I sure hope I am but just don't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for two 3rd's that is. That's a lot of draft capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTech780 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 It would make sense to target a goalie in the 3rd. Benjamin Gaudreau, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjgallow Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Winnipeg must be just blown away that they landed Chibrikov. Like Minnesota was with Wallstedt. Winnipeg has made some savy draft choices over the years, I'm not totally surprised they caught that falling knife. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He almost returned for a senior year because it was important to his family. This fanbase IMO went to bad places out of fear, a lot of terrible things said about a college kids mother online, pretty brutal at that point I wouldn't of blamed him for not signing. But what do you know a few weeks ago Friedman said on the fan that Gaudreau has always been very upset at the reports he doesn't want to be here.

The round does matter. The point is that a 1st rounder almost never waits 4 years to be a free agent. Most want to be playing in 2 years at the latest. The other point is a 1st rounder not signed results in compensation. The only fear about Gaudreau was that we would have to wait another year.

cross16 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Good grief. The negativity around here is getting out of hand especially considering it's not even based on fact. Hakan Loob is the Flames European PRO SCOUT. his role is to scout potential European free agents, he is not part of their amateur team. Bobbie Hagelin is their guy in Sweden on the amateur side and has been since 2013. I also hate how just because he's going to Harvard the Flames are now at risk of losing Coronato. He said flat out yesterday he wants to play in the NHL and he wants to play for the Flames. Why even bother worrying about something that is so unlikely to happen? also as a reminder the rule for opting for UFA is the same for players in major junior as it is for college players. It's 4 years post draft for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Position matters too. A RW wants to be playing in two years. A D, more like 3-4. So a late-round D is the most dangerous. A goalie would be too.
