      Yeah like a bad rash. He just won't go away.

      Said in the Burrows thread it was a 1 day thing.  Some of the Benning haters are going to get slapped with reality real quick.

  2. I'll be acquiring it through other means. Due to the absolute disrespect EA has shown towards gamers by refusing to fix the atrocious passing/AI, they will not be getting a dime of my money. It may be an option in the future when they prove they are capable of producing a functioning game.
  3. In honor of the day down south, I'm enjoying a delicious margarita.  Enjoy your wall, Chump.

      Lol

      Think you mean Chrump

  4. Talented player but both him and daddy are absolute clowns. Basically the combination of Hodgson's and Hoffman's issues. You don't want that kind of guy around, regardless of skill.
  5. Now to find out where the Ball circus goes.
  6. Wanted DSP here but happy he seems to have finally found a home.

  7. Kind of relieved tbh. Love Lebron but Ball just pisses me off. Underprivileged little punk running his mouth about hip-hop legends
  8. Would love to see DSP here.  Young enough to still be useful when our youth hit their prime and brings some size, toughness, and clutch scoring to the bottom 6.

      doesn't have the fear factor of Reaves but I'd be happy to have him here for sure. DSP and Beagle would be more than enough for Jim to add in free agency.

      adding dsp and beagle we thinkin playoffs now

      we're always 'thinking' playoffs.... 

  9. It's a similar rule difference as between Gaelic football and Aussie rules. It's possible to switch and it's perfectly acceptable to have the differences.
  10. Better rules with worse players. The summer really is a dry spell for contact sports so I'm glad it's there.
  11. Elias Pettersson Quinn Hughes Olli Juolevi Thatcher Demko Jonathan Dahlen Adam Gaudette Kole Lind Jett Woo Johnah Gadjovich Michael DiPietro Really, really good mix of players. Tons of different skillsets. Add in young talent like Boeser, Horvat, Virtanen, Goldobin, Leipsic, and Tryamkin and the future looks very, very bright.
  12. You can get the guy with not a lot of upside though with a decent chance of being a 4th liner if everything pans out. I don't mind the risk here.
  13. Pretty good value. We have pretty damn good goaltending depth in our prospect pool now.
  14. Maybe he bulks up a ton and plays at the same size as Gaudreau. HIgh risk, high reward.
  15. The people whining about Pettersson needing to gain more weight have mostly shut up. Give Madden a couple years in the NCAA to bulk up and I think you'll find his weight is acceptable. If he had the skillset he had but was bigger, he wouldn't be a 3rd round pick.
  16. Very solid draft so far.  We've really improved our defense, and Madden should be a quality bottom-6 guy for us.  A couple of picks where I would have taken somewhere else but Benning knows more than I do.

      You need a quality supporting cast to win the Cup. Just look at Washington this year.

      Kid's dad could game. If we're lucky he'll be a solid replacement for Sutter in 3 years.

  17. Good hockey sense, leadership, and defensive ability? Yes please. Great value for a 4th.
  18. But for him to suddenly play small when he's faced with bigger competition isn't likely to happen either. He'll probably play around 180.
  19. Weird because his dad, who plays a similar style, was one of the best defensive forwards of his generation and a Stanley Cup winner. He can utilize the NCAA schedule to bulk up in the gym anyway.
  20. Filling out the depth with someone who'll be a very good role player for us. He doesn't play small.
  21. Stoked about this pick! Our defense just got a massive upgrade with this draft.
  22. Wonder how long it is until it's announce that Tkachuk won't report and will play out his NCAA eligibility.

      Wouldn't be surprised to see Bernard-Docker stay in school too.  What a tire fire in Ottawa.

      Lol, I was thinking the same thing. His brother seemed to mention it in his interview. 

  23. Wasn't who I'd pick but I trust Benning's judgement. Hopefully the misgivings about his defense can be solved with good coaching.
  24. Draft day in a year where there is no obvious pick but lots of good options.  The one certainty is a lot of CDCers will be moaning Benning didn't pick their guy.  Best of luck to the mods today.

      After the top 2 it gets fairly wide open. Probably the most interesting draft in quite a while.

      Ahh, the annual draft day melt-downs are so much fun!

       

      "quote me on it" hahaha
