  1. Yeah I am but Zegras going 9th kinda stung, more refering to Hodgson and Boudron. 9th just seems like a way better number.
  2. Hoping we dont draft 10th overall, had some recent bad luck in that spot.
  3. He needs an assistant general manager who is a magician with the cap and free agent signings. Whats Gillis doing these days
  4. If we are picking 9 or 10 and the following players are off the board: Clarke Power Beniers Hughes Edvinsson Eklund Guenther Johnson Then my choice would be Mason McTavish. He has had a great second half of the season, playoffs and U18 tourny. Kinda get a canadian Mika Zibanejad vibe from him.
  5. Because of the offensive style, I believe Quinn could play the right side and excel.
  6. A Hughes - Hughes pairing would be fun to watch for the next 10 years.
  7. I do like Edvinsson but a lot more risk there as he is still pretty raw. Hedman put up 21pts in 43 games, Edvinsson has 1pt in 10 games.
  8. You probably take Beniers and run. He is in the mold of a Bergeron/Horvat/Larkin type player. These are the kinda guys you win with and contribute on both ends of the ice.
  9. Hopefully we clean house with our coaching staff, we have some skill in the line up but are very easy to play against and soft as cashmere.
  10. If Kent Johnson or Luke Hughes falls in our lap I will be a happy camper.
  11. Defense should be our priority this draft we have 5 long term almost sure fire options for top 6 forwards (Boeser, Horvat, Petey, Hoglander, Podkolzin) On defense long term we only have Hughes and Schmidt (29 years old), with the possibility of Rathbone and Juolevi becoming top 4.
  12. This team under performed this year and not because of covid. Some body's head needs be under the chopping block im good with any of 1) all the assistant coaches (underachieving defense + special teams) 2) the head coach (underachieving team) or 3) the GM (Loui contract + not finding a way to sign Toffoli)
  13. How does that even happen Utica was our affiliate? I feel bad for DiPietro he was so mishandled this year the kid needed to play and develop.
  14. Hame of Fame tank right there, probably worst NHL team ever iced. All joking aside, the team should ice all there young prospects that have a shot at making the team next year, rest the vets and try their best to win. Either they win or we get higher draft pick. Win Win scenario, plus we develop of young players. The old guys who had covid can probably use the time to keep recovering.
  15. Power was the unanimous #1 pick among scouts for Bob Mckenzie's list, 6'6" 220lbs Dman that can skate and put up 0.62 points per game in the NCAA in his draft year. For comparison Hughes put up 0.78 pts/game in his draft year and Werenski 0.71 pts/game. I dont see him busting but weirder stuff has happened.
  16. The next Crosby - Ovechkin saga
  17. Johnson played LW all this season in Michigan due to Beniers being the center. He thrived on the wing but can also play center which he played up until this season.
  18. I personally see Kent Johnson as a clear step above Tyson Jost. Jost is likely a 2/3C but I see Johnson as a 2C/1LW similar to Eklund. Production wise the players who have been able to put up 1pt/game in their draft year at the NCAA level are scarce. He is in good company.
  19. 1. Kent Johnson 2. William Eklund 3. Dylan Guenther
