Thanks my friend it is good to be back HF was driving me nuts. Tried for weeksto open a new account here after my cousin from Calgary was here for a wedding and came here and said a bunch of crap. Oh well I see not much has changed. People still want to trade Tanev for Lily lol. I asked another guy Earlier. How he would feel about Jumbo Joe for a year? I think it would be great for all the kids including Bo. His gut thinks he will be back with the Sharks, but I mean he offered to go there for the league min and play any role they wanted. I think they would have signed him already out of respect. Imagine if Hank was treated like that?

I see it as this. Rasmus was going 1st no matter what. The Canes are stacked on D like no other team, but need elite forwards. After that if you scour the net Most people had Hughes as the 2nd best D Montreal had their list according to MB as Hughes the Finn or Zadina. They went for need over BPA Ottawa from almost everything I've been able to dig up had Hughes as their guy over Zadina. There are a ton of scouts now that the draft is over are saying his interview process was terrible. One scout who knows him well said when asked certain questions he would look to the translator, Even though he understood the question and according to the guy his English is good enough that it was obvious he was being coached. Apparently this happens a lot with Euro kids .Actually have heard quite a few negative things about him. Even after being drafted . Instead of being over the moon. It was all about payback against the Habs and the Sens. Again with the Sens I think they have a legit shot at resigning EK. Look how fast Hoff was gone. I doubt he gets traded that fast for such a pathetic return unless they maybe were told by EK whatever chance you have regarding me I better see that punk gone asap. Strictly my opinion. Maybe they felt Brady was the most ready forward, or maybe they got sucked into the hype? Cuz I think pick 4,5 and 10 were the worst in the top 10. Chyka is the younger version of Chia. Why else would you pass on the 3 best D still available and the 2 best forwards? With Detroit maybe they felt scoring was their most pressing need really hard to say because they said the same thing JB said to the Hughes Family. if by some fluke your still there at 6 your not making it to 7. Kenny boy I think made the wrong choice. If both reach their expected potential in the end it is always easier find a winger over a true #1 PMD You bring up scouts. I think you know enough about hockey that a gm. no matter how nice of a guy, will pick who he want's There never was a debate over who the number #2 d wass Unless your basing it off of mainly sportsnet. No other d besides Rasmus was compared to the best d of my era and a little bit beyond. Ras was compared to [potvin Ek Hedman. Hughes Orr Coffy Leach Housley.. Bouchard was compared to jay bowmeister. Dobson to sorry wrong spelling, Pieterangelo. Chicago nailed it at 8th if he can translate to the smaller ice. Hughes not my words but Buttons during the world cup, said Hughes may end up being the best player in this draft. He then said but you have to go with Rasmus because right now he is the best d of the group. Button isn't the only one to say that. about Hughes. In the end JB took the guy he wanted since we found out we were not going first.. Best thing is this kid want's to play now. he oozes confidence not immaturity that you hear a lot of 18 year-olds who just got drafted and say the same thing. This kid when asked about his D said he had the best plus minus on his team, and was on the ice for one goal against in the world cup. I think was a plus5 or something at the world cup.. I loved his tweet about . Basically he said Only people I care about when asked if it bothered him that it his D gets mentioned, so much tho not sure why? He said I only care about what my Family my coach the Canucks and our fans think.. One more point sorry to blab I had to open a knew account and spent 5 days in the Hospital stuck reading HF and my roommate for 3 days was an Oiler fan who wouldn't shut up about Bouchard. I felt like ripping my feeding tube out of my stomach and chocking him with it lol. Anyways my point was you could just copy and paste you post to 2017 when 4 teams passed on EP40 One of them as a19 year-old had less points the highest scoring freshman d. Mr Hughes. So for just this once, because I have read a lot of your posts. You seem to enjoy going negative.. The last 2 years we lost the draft. Yet somehow we potentially got the best player in both of them. Especially last year. So enjoy what is happening. Next year is going to be one exciting time for us fans. Cheers

Very well said. Which is why I think if he is paired with Taney,. We may see Taney in the lineup a lot more From my point of view. Taney always seemed to get hurt when he was covering up someone else's mistake. Like you said not being able to clear the net. Or the team not being able to clear the zone the first 3 or 4 times they would try. Leading to quality chances, where Taney would sacrifice his body. I think they make a really good pair for those reasons. Guddy would be good for size. But I am banking on Hughes being quick enough and smart enough to get himself out of trouble. Much like we saw EP do in the SHL playoffs. I think Guddy and Edler was our best pairing for their style of game. Cheers

ahh thank god I am back. had to create a new account after my cousin who flew down from Calgary for a wedding.. Used my account to troll and bash a bunch of people Luckily I was planning on leaving telus for shaw and now with my new ip was able to get the hell back here and away from that toxic site known as HF. Anyway. This random site I found through google after typing who has the best prospect pool? I found this article. The guy and his Brothers he claims are scouts. He does the Dub his bros are in Scandinavia. I deleted my last post which had a lot more of what he said by mistake, so I will just cover a bit of what he said. First he said after this draft we now have the best in the League. He said woo was a ppg player before he got hurt, who ranked 16th at the midterm rankings. Bouchard was 36th. He said Woo may have slipped in to the to 10 if he didn't get hurt. He went on about Woo foe awhile gushing over him like he was his Father lol. He hates Bouchard thinks he is gonna be huge bust. Also said the Fin we drafted according to his brother has the potential to be better Heiskanen. He said pressure to stay in Finland over the NHL is why he dropped and Salo knew that it would be resolved. Here are the rankings I can remember. EP40 A++ Hughes A++ OJA Dhalen A Lind B Jasek B Demko-A+ Take everything with a grain of salt. But5 he seemed pretty sincere. Oh ya and Woo he has A+ Cheers Edit like me and Zepp had said before. There had to be a reason OJ didn't make the worlds. Turns out that was around the time he tweaked his back which led to the further injury that we are all hearing about now.
