  1. Don't forget my favorite, Canucks are a shoe in for the playoffs and probably the division title. Vegas is horrible, they have no goalie and no cap space they said. Edmonton can't play d, Seattle got screwed over by Francis and will be in the basement for years, and Calgary just got blown up with old retirement contracts. I expect the exact same nonsense this year.
  2. Yep, when you're a douche like him that's all you got. Whatever, he's a scavenger turkey.
  3. I don't even think Drance knew what sports were 10 years ago. He certainly has no background in it.
  4. Yeah overall I don't think anyone should be dissatisfied. We all wanted RD, I know I researched every RD with size in our range and was hoping we'd load up. However, Brzustewicz fell in our laps ... I don't think anyone thought we had a chance at him so huge score. Than we took a good defensive LD to solidify that side in the third round. As such we were looking great on D. After that we took one winger with size and another RD with size. Pretty damn good. In the middle no more winger shots but a couple of centers, which is completely reasonable. I don't know ... were their better Center options to be had? All in all pretty damn fine.
  5. At the end of the day they chose these guys over some more "consensus" picks. However, these picks rarely make it anywhere. Obviously they saw something or had some strategy regarding what they were looking for in these picks. Surely it's stuff we can't see just by checking out their height and weight and stats on hockey db.
  6. Terrific development opportunity where he will get primetime minutes and situational deployment. I think his ceiling is pretty high and the path is wide open.
  7. Yeah he's got good edges and sublime vision. Whether he can get by at the NHL level without high end speed though we will see. Different game then junior. It's the battle for all smaller players. Not many sub 5'10" players making a large impact. All the best to him. I would have been fine with the pick but worried all the same.
  8. And that's the big difference. Little players need 100% separation so that little tugs on the body don't break up the play.
  9. I think that was a mosquito ... keep going!
  10. I really don't think you can underestimate opportunity for these young players. Sometimes you don't realize your potential until it's thrust upon you.
  11. I know Detroit is your second team but c'mon man!
  12. If Drance was a pedestrian most people would drive him over.
  13. I think this guy is going to be great. Will play with sensation Lane Hutson, with other sensation Eiserman, against the super trio Boston C vs Boston U. It's hard not to see the positives here. Could turn out great. We could always see what Jordan Subban is up to. Seriously, it's a good thing having a top RD pick in the pipeline. We were so devoid. Go Tommy!
  14. The thing I like is his commit level. Learning from Gonchar and Foote after Boston U is going to pay huge dividends. As will another 25 pounds or so. A little anti-climatic but I'll take it.
  15. Willander it is. Pretty smart I guess.
  16. Hopefully, now that he's gone. All good though.
