  1. I agree. There is not another young player in the league with his skill set. His ceiling is a player who helps his team win games every shift. Great pick by JB!
  2. Yup. It's too risky to trade Demko right now. He could be worth a King's ransom in a couple years. I'm in on Jost. Someone posted the kid is 5'11" and 194 lbs.. That's a solid build. Plus he's super skilled, and is playing on Boeser's team next season. Jost and Keiffer Bellows would make me
  3. When was the last time a trade for first overall done? Was it the Lindros deal? That lead Quebec/Colorado to two Cups. No way we trade up in such a deep draft. We should really trade down.
  4. PPG and elite make Bo a top 1st line center, like Kopitar and Toews.
  5. We thought the same about Schneider, didn't we?
  6. I read in another thread we are trading Bo + + for RNH. I know...Completely INSANE. Bo has the potential to be a really top notch number one center. He does need two elite level wingers though, right?
  7. Now that you stimulated my memory, I remember a thread about McCann's snub. I think some posters even proposed we trade McCann for Gudbranson! they, of course, were shot down. Many, at that time, thought there was no way McCann would get Gudbranson. I wonder if JB would consider trading Demko, if it was for an elite (young) center? Not Draisatl, but someone like that?
  8. Oh Wow! Was that a 'smoking gun' foreshadowing the McCann's trade?
  9. I think JB said that McCann is part of his future core too. I guess it's fluid, and JB will take the best deal to help the team.
  10. That's a good point. But it might be Markstrom who is traded at the TDL, and then Demko comes up?
  11. Yes the planet's oceans are literally dying. Our planet will certainly die, and we are doomed. It's a LONG WAY OFF, so stop worrying about that stuff, and get out and have a pizza and beer.
  12. I confess I want some of those light up shoes now! Their a super neat idea.
  13. I confess. I like the TS character here on CDC. He/she is fun, and certainly not a jabrony. I wonder if he/she has a TS lunch box, nap sack, and those shoes that sparkle with every step?
  14. I must confess that's a very strange word. I've heard of Jabroni.
  15. What's blocking shots have to do with mental toughness? I see a mentally tough player as one who first accepts his role, and then plays that way - regardless of consequences. The elite skilled guys mentioned previously take a lot of physical abuse. They are targets, who have the puck a lot to be effective. Mental toughness, for these players, would be to accept they are going to get pounded, attracted, and insulted, while never deterring them from controlling the puck.
  16. I get it! Twilight Sparkle. Yup, cute little unicorn. Is it a confession to say I have never seen the TV show MLP? (I've seen lunch boxes though!). What's a brony?
  17. You don't think guys like the Twins, P.Kane and Johnny hockey aren't mentally tough?
  18. Bigger than Alf on CDC? (What's MLP?)
  19. He already is playing like a third overall. That's why the "WTFs" from Luongo and Mitchell.
  20. Yup. To turn pick 24 into a third overall is a HUGE upgrade. JB wins a trade. Finally.
  21. I am not intending to insult anyone's opinion. My apologies if my comments gave that impression. i see elite "finess" as useless, unless that player is also mentally tough. Gaunce is clearly mentally tough. I think that's part of JB's getting guys with character - mental toughness.
  22. Gaunce has plenty of skill. He's just a sluggish skater, so he can't play the rush skill game. Plus, define skill. JV is one of the best body checkers, and fastest skaters in the league. Are these not skill world class skills? OV has world class skill for scoring goals. Has he won a Cup? What's Toews' world class skill? Gaunce has a really high hockey Q. Is that not a skill?
  23. The Oilers would hang up. I hate them, but Draisatl has a VERY high ceiling. I could see them parting with RNH for Edler.
