  1. I am not 100% sure but didnt edm beating us on ryan smyth night bump them out of 2nd last,,,,? So they could have had Ekbladz
  2. LOL craig button has Van taking virtanen after having him listed in second round all year,,, WTF button you are a gooof!
  3. I want to see the ball be pulled out and team reps watching!
  4. Yea this envelope unveiling of picks system needs to be changed,,,, its terrible opens the door wide open for rigged discussions, way too fishy!
  5. That feeeling of disappointment,, but at least we didnt lose our spot!
  6. HOLLLYYYYY HERE WE GO!!!!! knock on wood
  7. Wow Nylander 11 and Perlini at 12 interesting! According to Bobby we getting 1 of Ritchie, Ehlers, Virtanen LOTTO suspense killing em tho!
  8. lol top 5 GMs are there, gonna be awkwarddddd when we win!!
  9. I do not know who I would most honestly, I have only watched Ehlers play full games, so i cant say. In 5 minutes I hope your luck is repeated ERMAHGERD!
  10. Nylander started his ice hockey career playing NA hockey, adjusting back I do not think would be difficult, if other swedes can with zero NA exposure and his quoted high hockey IQ I am sure he could figure it out. Kapanen, the league he plays in is very similar to NA hockey, if anything it is more NA then QMJHL, I am sure it is more tight checking and physically demanding then Q is what I meen. Hard to compare Jensen, a late first rounder to potential top ten guys and top 2 euro talents in draft, and all of the 2011 draft class is still trying to figure it out, none of them asides from Landeskog, have really established themselves as a certified impact forward, although a few of them look like they will be. Zibanejad serves as a better comparison as he was the top ranked euro heading into the draft. Jensen draft class are all coming into their own now, and next year will be the telling year for most of them, he seems to be fitting right in development wise with all of them in my opinion
  11. Looking forward in an hour draft lotttto + bob macs top 12 consensus picks!!!
  12. Well to be honest, I kinda did see Barkov going high and seth sliding, because they had Gudbranson (Cancelled Seth), Huberdeau (Cancelled Drouin) , Tbay made sense as well, as they had hedmen, but I even thought they would take Lindholm or Nichuskin, I felt it was pretty wide open the top 5 of last years draft, like this years. I was very surprised we took Horvat over Valeri and Wennberg to be honest, I am happy with the pick now and have made peace with it. But you are right, there is always a chance anyone can slip! I was very shocked how low Mantha and Shinkaruk slid though! NHL drafts are crazy, Hickey going top 5,,, Dano being a first rounder etc etc so you are right, you never do know! But with Reinharts year name and playoff performance it is hard to imagine him slipping too far. And fair enough hadnt seen your kesler trade posts, still find it hard to imagine unless his talk with linden goes badly.
  13. I really doubt Reinhart slips past 3, and how would we get Ritchie! I am not 100% sold on yakupovs potential, and he would prolly give Tortz and Linden an aneurism
  14. You have to consider, we will be facing a future D core that has a top pairing or top 4 with Nurse and Ekblad, that would be physically punshing 4-5 years from now.
  15. This is fitting: Posting on these boards like crazy lately its kinda like we all know each other indirectly lol!
  16. Zebras w.e and samjamiam have gotten to u! dont let them crack that kenny powers temper of yours! (in regards to monahan gaunce and suter)
  17. If Carolina or Toronto wins I will die
  18. Oh goodness I know!!! aha Yea if we win number 1 it will be a very tough decision indeed!!!
  19. Rob Schremp did stuff like this , one highlight reel goal is not enough for me, hope the scouts have seeen much much more
  20. loool http://oilers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=714502 this is fun my 7th try was nux! NYI, CGY, FLO, TOR, CGY, EDM, NUX,,,, Didnt even get Buffalo LOL
  21. Everyone relax,,, we are gonna win the lott in a couple hours anyways all this nylander ehlers virtanen perlini ritchie kapanen talk going to fly out the window!!! Also when it comes to fastest skater : Ehlers, Perlini, Virtanen, Nylander, Kapanen have all been claimed to be the fastest, safe to say they are great skaters and fast, combine will separate them though
  22. I have to agree with this, environment and development is huge, I am sure Boston would have kept RNH in jr 1 more year and then brought him in slowly. Yea TOML feels both Leon and Nylander lack battle and compete levels
  23. How is Kapanen undersized? He is bigger than Bennett and weighs same as Dal Colle? What concerns you about Leons battle levels? His team sucks and he still was PPG in 1st round playoffs. And for those who question his speed watch 1:43 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyD3gjpERAg Dal Colle I see as a winger more than a C And for those saying we are in a position to take Nylander at 6th http://www.mynhldraft.com/NHL-Mock-Draft/ They currently agree with you! I really hope ISS is right and Draisaitl slips to us doeeeee!
