    At Number 10 Who do we take?

    Jim seems to be giddy about getting Jack here, but that would mean we’d have to give up something substantial to get there. 

    Jim made it clear he’s not mortgaging anything or trading our core group so I don’t know if he can pull it off. I’m sure he’ll at least try something. 

    Even if we stay around 9 or 10 I think we can still get a good player as Jim has hit two homeruns in a row in the last two drafts despite slotting down.

    That coulda been so much worse.

     

    My biggest takeaway is how bad I feel for Jack. You could tell how displeased he was that he wasn't going to one of the big market teams that jumped into the top-3.

    You could tell he was disappointed. NY , COL would have all been better then NJ. I bet he wanted to play with Quinn here. He wanted to come here and we wanted him here but I guess Gary had other plans<_<

    Just tried the simulator a couple times. 

     

    Canuck were in the top 3 selections 4/7 times. Not bad. I truly believe our luck may be different this year. The last couple years I had a bad feeling about our draft odds and sure enough we always slotted down. But this year I have a good feeling about it. Not trying to get my hopes up too high though. 

     

    Oh by the way, who ended up above us 5 out 7 times in my attempts? Edmonton.

     

    Seriously. $@*% them.

    Did Travis Green mishandle Nikolai Goldobin?

    While I like Goldy, he always seems to lack the intensity and desire to score and hustle on the backcheck. Look at a comparison between him and Petey. Not even close. Petey has a hyper competitive edge to him where he wants to win and score every game. He puts in the extra effort on and off the ice.

     

    Goldy has a great hockey sense and skill but does not have that same hunger or desire to win which is why I think he is not working with how Green coaches. I Don’t think he has enough consistency to be a NHL regular. 

     

    He has had numerous opportunities to prove himself, and we have given him a very long leash but unfortunately it has not panned out. Coach Green isn’t really to blame. Honus has to be on the player equally.
