  1. I agree with you about Jake having the skill set to be a regular 20+ goal scoring power forward. I do think TL will lie, as he has lied before. As for Green, I don't know. What I'm certain of is these management types often pump up their players, just in case of a potential trade. The coach though, especially WD, didn't care about that - as evidenced by his use of Vrbata.
  2. Yup. If Middlestadt is gone, which is likely, I think you're 100% correct and JB goes D. I wonder if JB would trade up to #3 to get Middlestadt?
  3. He coming 27 though. If TL is being honest about us rebuilding, why do we sign Rodin?
  4. Fabulous! Thanks for posting:)
  5. Sounds exaclty right. And one of the three, if not all three, are likely to be there at five, so JB will get his guy - so to speak.
  6. That worry about Makar's level of competition is why we need another top pick. That was we can still draft him, while not worrying too much. We could afford to swing for the home run.
  7. I would love if Jake can play like Rypien. He wasn't the biggest guy, but (man!) he could change a game.
  8. When you say big, do you mean plays big, or is big?
  9. Yup. Watched the Carter homer on the TV with the Mrs. Can't believe it was almost a quarter century ago! Hope the Jays can get that good again soon.
  10. I watched most of his Utica games, and loved him on the left side, especially after he got into shape. I sure hope Green plays Jake there next season, and let's the kid just go for it.
  11. He was both, but appeared most effective (offensively, especially off the rush) on the left side. He seems to see the ice better from his off wing.
  12. Clicked wrong button.

      did you get craig?

  13. Should JB take into consideration whether a Euro might not sign with us? I guess that should include the US college kids too then?
  14. I think the drafting of guys like Jasek shows how good JB has done with the draft. If the kid was no good we wouldn't be upset he signed in Europe, right?
  15. He certainly passes just fine. He sees the ice a lot better playing left wing too. Love Jake, and he will help us next season.
  16. I thought his hockey Q was just fine too. It was his off ice commitment to fitness that was the concern. Now he's a ripped 209, and in top shape. I say Jake comes to camp next season is super impressive! Go get 'em Jake!!!
  17. I think Middlestadt. Maybe JB gets to choose from: Glass Llilgegen Vilardi Makar?
  18. Erik Karlsson was drafted 15th. We just need to get the right guy, no matter where the pick comes. Boeser was 23, and he looks really good too. Hopefully JB knocks it out of the park with this top five pick:)
  19. Or, let's just stay where we are and likely Vilardi falls to us anyway?
  20. We had a fabulous (and young) goal scorer a few years back. Unfortunately our owner didn't want to pay the guy, so off he went to the Mexican league:(
  21. Barrie really struggles on the Dside of the game. Maybe, they would like Tanev to solid up their top 4?
  22. At the draft, could you see a Tanev for Duchene trade, or are both teams looking for draft picks/younger players in return?
  23. Considering these second round picks are like lottery balls for a potential Norris winner, maybe taking D is the way to go there though?
