  1. If Dallas, as rumored, is asking for Tanev + 33 + 55 for 3rd overall, maybe we should do that? Then we get Vilardi and Makar. That's a pretty darned good draft, filling two huge needs in our prospect pool. Picks 33 and 55 have way less % chance of becoming anything even close to those two. DO IT JB!!!!!!
  2. Why not go off this board a bit and take Makar at five? He's the one guy (outside top two) who might have the highest ceiling?
  3. "[Virtanen's] best attribute is his skating, and he may be the best skater in this draft class,” raved ESPN’s Corey Pronman ahead of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
  4. Certainly could happen, but when has a goalie ever got that kind of return?
  5. Better cookie than Oreo double stuffed?

      Nothing comes close.

  6. True. I keep going back and forth on Casey. What if he takes a full for years of college to develop?
  7. Plus, those opponents were much lesser skilled, and likely much lighter high school kids. Just "say no" to Casey and Finnegan
  8. That's a great point. The kid is so weak it will likely take him all four years in college before he's ready.
  9. Love to get Nico, but I think he's going first. Is Patrick worth (likely) Tanev + five + 33?
  10. If we came out of this draft with Vilardi and Makar I would be really happy. Those two look like they have potential to be impact players for sure. I wonder if Vilardi might even surpass the top two guys in this draft? Makar could be even better than them all, if his ceiling is close to Erik Karlsson's.
  11. I like that he plays at a heavy weight. What was he last season 225 or abouts? Having such a big body guy at center, with his skills is super for us. Now we just need a guy to compliment him.
  12. Truth: Jake hasn't been very good at all. Reason: He WAS fat, out of shape, and not committed to being a professional. Prediction: Fit Jake will light up the league with physical play, causing turnovers and scoring goals.
  13. I wonder if Middlestadt's lack of upper body strength makes him even more attractive? He likely had to be super skillful to make up for this. Maybe he's maturing later than his peers too. This kid could really blossom! I want him more now. Get him JB!!!
  14. If we sign Miller, any trade with Dallas will be dead.
  15. I actually saw all the Bourne movies. I liked them all, but the first one was the best. Just saw a movie called: "Red" with Bruce Willis. Loved it! 10/10
  16. Biega was an effective fourth liner. If we have a youngish guy though, maybe he should get that spot over Biega?
  17. Sounds like the reasons JB gave for drafting Virtanen.
  18. What does your ability to do pull ups have to with Middlestadt?
  19. Maybe he's just not physically developed enough to get that strong?
  20. I like Makar too. The kid looks like a star for sure.
  21. I think the .Caps have good players, but that (stupid) surface detracts from their skills. That's why today's game was a beauty to watch. Those guys had amazing skills. Even the simple passing was first class.
  22. How many pull ups, and how heavy bench could the Great One do? Of course Middlestadt is not Gretzky, but maybe he's super smart out there?
  23. I think it's nice to see guys playing on grass, not artificial turf. Both teams got to show their elite skills. Didn't care who won, although I do have a Bale jersey. (Thought it was Christian Bale when I got it:)
