  1. Seahawks getting ripped up by the 49ers.
  2. We have already by-passed a lot of steps to speed up the rebuild. Look at all the draft picks traded for guys further along in their development, and older UFAs, like Miller, Errikson, and Gagner all signed with term. Boeser is clearly an NHL player. Goldy is an NHL player too.
  3. Goldy should be in this line-up, and developing his NHL game. He's a proven star in the AHL. I don't see Gagner as an abrasive player. His signing was a mistake.
  4. Personally I'd much rather watch Goldy, and have those other two eating popcorn.
  5. If this team wants to compete for a playoff spot and run, they need to extend Guddy.
  6. Super! I love seeing Burmistrov, Gagner out there floating around accomplishing nothing, while Goldy munches popcorn.
  7. It doesn't matter. The guy is going to be our needed difference maker. There was only one super elite player in last year's first round, and we got him.
  8. That's really cool. I say this guy will be our Gretzky.
  9. Tide no roll today in Auburn. Be nice if they drop out of top four.
  10. I could be wrong (AGAIN - haha) but I think Brian Burke is a Harvard grad.
  11. You have a very important view on our team. It's much needed on CDC.
  12. Jake has all the skills to play an offensive role. It's pretty clear the coaches want him to become a responsible 200 foot player though. Playing with the Twins is forcing him to think defense.
  13. Defensively, Jake continues covering for the Twins, but it's costing him offensive play. I wonder if the Twins are stifling Jake?
  14. I read here, he's going to Harvard. I would still rather see our D in the WHL or OHL, but he's getting to attend Harvard. That's a great academic school.
  15. I think this guy is still in high school.
  16. Love to see Gagner pushed to the press box, but it won't be Gaunce doing that. That will take an offensive player, like Goldy.
  17. Totally agree. I would love to see Gaunce learn from DD, and add sand paper to his game. He'd become a much valued player, keep a spot, and make way more money.
  18. Cowboys are done like dinner this season. I don't get how a team with Prescott could do this poorly.
  19. With Petersson and Juiolevvi (picked at five) we look to have a couple top players coming. Plus, JB looks to have stolen an elite player in Boeser (23 overall). Then there are Demko, Lind, and Gaudette looking really good too - all second round or later picks. JB just might be a guy who can break the mould, and get us a Cup level team, without a top three pick. Although, he did trade for Guddy, who was top three.
  20. I think we have seen the worst. JB has me convinced he can get elite players without drafting top five. Petersson looks amazing though. And Juiolevvi is looking really good too. Oh, and Demko too. And Lind:)
  21. Doughty. Plus, Doughty is a 30 minute super elite dman. It's like the Loser Leafs getting Matthews.
  22. True, it a team needs to draft the right guys when getting those top picks. Maybe the point is, a team can't win without drafting high for a few years, and collecting elite players? I think having JB will help us select guys who will bring us a Cup with our top picks.
  23. True, but who wins any Cups in this new Cap era without collecting elite players from top picks?
  24. Botchford is an idiot Troll. However, on this point, he's certainly correct. The lower the team finishes, the higher the guaranteed draft pick. Moreover, the higher the pick, the more likely selection of an impact player. The wrench in the gears of this concept though is Benning. He's proving he can get impact players (Boeser) outside the top picks.
