Baratheon

I still think it’s so funny that CBJ gave us a 2nd rounder for the right to have that idiot coach them.

LOL! The last three posts go great together!

I keep hearing how he’s slow yet any film of him that I’ve seen shows him blowing past everyone.

I can’t think of two players that are less similar haha! Not saying you’re wrong. Just funny.

Makes sense. They can wait for him. No rush for Philly

My grandma still has those curtains but she uses them to make quilts these days.

Aaaand just gonna go bounce on a pogo stick after pick 6!

I had to take a quick walk around the living room after pick 5.

Haha poor Carey!

I hear you. I've been turned off by the exact same thing in the past. I'm not sure why I feel differently about those two guys. Ryan Kesler is the guy that keeps coming to mind. Danielson just seems to fit a "mold" that I like. Moore well... no secret what I (or anybody else) likes. Having one of the fastest guys in the league has historically not been a bad thing.

I have advocated for moving JTM but it's more of a philosophical position. I actually quite like the player and the person. I just think that if we are hoping to win soon then we need to really swing for the fences with some aggressive moves. If not then we need to rebuild (at least to a degree). Either way moving JTM seems to fit the bill and a 3OA pick (especially this year) would certainly help a rebuild without setting us back too far. (if at all)

JR seems like he meant business when he said that he was going to talk less. PA is like the Wayne Gretzky of answering questions without saying anything. I'm never really surprised when Canucks news is quiet. They don't strike me as "sit on their hands" type on people. I'm sure things are happening behind the scenes.

A big name C you say!? Like JT Mi... -never mind. Sure would be cool to have that 3rd overall pick though

You're either going to be really happy or really mad lol! I think there's almost zero chance that at least one (probably more) of those guys is available at 11.

The more that I read, watch and listen, the more I feel like Danielson and Moore have the highest floor or are the "safest" picks. Seems like the worst case scenario for both is a very high end 3rd liner who can slot in to the top 6 when needed. Seems like you have a different opinion on Danielson though. I'm curious to hear more. For me he ticks every box. Size, speed, skill, maturity etc.

I have to believe that Musk and Zuck can top that masterpiece! In an era of youtubers and gimmick fights, this has the potential to be the worst of them all! I'm here for it all day. Wish the promoters would really lean in to it. Have their entrance songs played by a live kazoo player.

Yes I remember that. The whole fight was comically bad even before the end. At one point when they were clinched they both went down to the ground but it wasn't a take down. They kinda just consensually agreed to kneel down together. My wife came out of another room and asked if I was ok that night. She thought I might be losing it because she kept hearing me laugh super hard during the fights.

Yes definitely. You don’t use assets the same way when you’re in different positions. But they are still assets none the less.

Remember Kimbo Slice vs Dada 5000 (or 3000? Lol I don’t remember) The fight ended when Dada fell down after missing a punch and was too tired to get up. Could this fight be worse? I want to see it! That whole card was hilarious. Main event ended when Shamrock got kicked in the junk and the ref didn’t see it. (1st round too lol)

Hey how about that! Colorado had a draft pick but it wasn’t a “magic bean”. They got someone that will help them this year. Amazing! My understanding was that picks were useless lottery tickets that don’t help you for at least 5 years. (And only if you’re lucky)

Lol The new thread title reminded me of this gem.

That's what The Thing wants you to think.

I'm torn. In my mind I want us to draft a D. The more I read/watch/listen however, the more I really want us to end up with Nate Danielson. Seems to check all of the boxes. Right shot center from the WHL with size, speed, skill and a commitment to both ends of the ice. I don't know if that involves trading down or not but I think he's the guy I want.

Feel free to explain then. I understand that you believe that Lucic justifies his (almost) 20 points at this age (and hope that he can produce something similar on a new team). If he is a defensive liability (despite those crazy offensive numbers) then why do you feel he will help the team? I assume it has to do with fighting... no? So I ask (once again) at what point do you draw the line?
