  1. Just 2 forwards at under six feet tall. JB must be so envious
  2. They'll play up the Metropolitans and Millionaires rivalry with both winning the Stanley Cup
  3. Most of their forwards seem to be 6'3" and 200 lbs Poor Hughes. Life is going to be uncomfortable in these games
  4. Hang around for Giordano being presented as their first captain
  5. In recognition of those who don't know the selections, no list will be posted (Vintage. - you should delete that listing above)
  6. Maybe Francis has a deal to send him to Pittsburgh in exchange for Malkin?
  7. We come before Arizona in the picking order, so we could reclaim him (if not picked by any of the teams below us - selection opportunities go by inverse points totals)
  8. 10 of Vegas 30 picks never played a game for Vegas
  9. You'd think someone in the Canucks organization would have shipped him a few Canucks logo items to wear and a tote bag to show off around St Petersburg
  10. Pretty sure he has one already ....... https://www.weather-atlas.com/en/russia/saint-petersburg-climate
  11. This, from Pro Hockey Rumours, June 13 ... "The two names remaining are prospects Gadjovich and Lind. Both 2017 second-round picks, Gadjovich and Lind are each high-scoring junior products who have improved every year in the pros and were point-per-game players in the AHL this year, as well as seeing their first NHL action. Both should see increased roles next year with the Canucks, potentially ahead of any of the aforementioned bubble forwards. The upside is certainly greater for either scoring winger than any of the group outside of possibly a resurgent Virtanen. If Seattle was to select either one, they would not be selecting “prospects”. Both will lose their waiver exemption next season. If the Kraken want to take and keep Gadjovich or Lind, they would need to be prepared to hand them a roster spot, as neither would be likely to clear waivers. This calculus would of course change if the Kraken plant to select then trade one of the promising young players."
  12. If that were a seriously considered scenario, then resigning Raffery would be a better option. He played as a right winger until age 16, when an emergency at high school saw him moving to defence to cover. Was an instant success, and played there ever since. His winger experience is what makes him such a good rushing defenceman
  13. Gadjovich loses his waiver-exempt status this summer. Drafted in 2017, his 3 year waiver exempt status commenced on his first game after age 19 in the 2018-19 season and expired after the last game 3 years later, the last game of the 2020-21 season.
  14. And maybe RW should be an "A" when you add my avatar to the list
  15. The latest from the Kraken cognoscenti is that, similar to Vegas using their 4 extra picks on defencemen, Kraken will stockpile goalies, picking 7. They'll flip 4 and keep 3, assigning one to their shared farm team. Lots of support for Francis calling the Habs' bluff, and selecting Price The Hockey Guy did a good video on this.....
  16. Yeah - they won't won't have trouble filling the arena ..... https://www.nhl.com/kraken/news/kraken-announce-high-tide-waitlist-to-secure-spot-in-line-for-season-tickets/c-325267778
  17. Some Kraken fans want Tampa for their first ever NHL home game, but I can't see that happening. Next best, failing the SC Champs, would be the Canucks, to ignite the rivalry.
  18. Some of my Palm Springs golfing buddies are Seattle "rainbirds" - I've been wowing them with Rafferty highlights and they are lobbying furiously for him in their social media postings
  19. One - absolutely serious - "expert" took Eriksson in his mock draft. Called him their first line winger and cited his Dallas and Boston goals as rationale!!
