Right up there with "burrows do we really need him?" Shout off brain and type bull_$&!#.. man it never ends
-
Do you honestly think your not the homer here? Like it or not, you are. If not, a troll at best. So let's play that out shall we? Say we do the same as last year, end up with potential 7th pick and as usual we drop a few spots to 10-12... do you actually think your going to get some super kid guaranteed to make top 6? If you do your a complete fool.. Maz was expendable due to Kielly and MD isn't too far away from depth at G.. So how is this some sort of an over payment?
-
With the luck on our lottery, are you kidding? I started laughing when i read this... and since is there a guarantee all first rounders are destined to play top 6? Let alone make the nhl? None whatsoever, imo the OP is an idiot and you nailed it. I didn't think it was rocket science to know our top 6 needed a player like miller with his style of play to compliment our core as a top tier team needs balance and we're getting closer to that with this move... however i suppose not everyone sees it that way...

He knew it was a solid pick... and it is.

Regardless of how one states "dogged pursuit of the puck" is that you have the mentality of that's mine and i'm going to get it! That's an OV trait but realistically there's a ceiling for players and his is a bit unknown as for how high but he has the tools and no one can argue that so no i hardly think JB settled at all... we'd all probably like to see him in utica than anywhere else for 2 years for a closer look but i guess JB figured it was worth the gamble at a top 6 potential with a top line ceiling if he goes coastal and rocks it out of the park but easily a 2nd line potential... nothing wrong with that, not a bad play at tenth. I would have traded my 2nd to move up and for sure grab zegras but it's a deep draft and who knows who our 2nd could turn out to be... meh... Anyway If we get a cap friendly top six player in 2 years then i'm happy with that but tarasenko with less snipe can change with simple practice (with petey hopefully!)

Ummm Alien, put down the moon juice your drinking... however if you shoot for the moon and only get somewhere past orbit and he helps the team then pretty content with that...

Especially BPA and positional need at the same time...

#2 euro probably?

10th Overall: 2019 CDC Draft Consensus
iceman64 replied to funkyfresh's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
We almost had him! i thought it was on! after #4 that he'd go fast but he kept on dropping and at 6-7 i still saw his name, down again but it was frickin close! I thought, no please... no... no... then his name called I wasn't happy... -
10th Overall: 2019 CDC Draft Consensus
iceman64 replied to funkyfresh's topic in Prospects / Farm Team
1000th but whose counting? -
Yeah i saw that on the stat boards of the mocks and thought ummm doubtful and one other had him at 4 but then down, think the media had some to do with it hyping his 2 year deal and wouldn't go crazy high because gm's would shy away from him (potentially) so it lowered him. Seems to be a strong possibility but i put him 5-7 as in the same boat as the not nhl ready players who need developing so i think it could have gone either way with him.. a toss up i suppose, worst case scenario we have a lethal russian waiting in the wings if we lose someone in the expansion draft at forward...

Or not enough?

Ruh roh....

I think JB might have stolen another one, i thought he'd go 5-7 Just that goal against sweden was f'n slick like peteyness. I'm happy with this at 10! Kids got game...
-
Holy "S"hite, his end to end rush against team sweden, finished split the D and chip it in while falling down? Petey 2.0? If so... nice steal JB!
-
Welcome Pods.. hope you become the steal of the draft like petey...
-
I thought JB himself said in an interview a few months back saying that would be his last avenue and why would we? We still have some growing to do and it's not as if we're challenging for the cup this year and 1-2 at least of our projects should pan out and the addition of train next year we should be ok on D and use a pick for a first line F we can develop in utica and trade demko Or whoever for ferland to calgary and there's a great first line with a built in policemen for petey instead of trading LE for lucic, Ferland is a sniper too. Watched his highlights on youtube for the past season/s and dayum that man can snipe and dangle but i would not want to make him mad either!!! That's exactly what we need for petey and brock, much like the twins needed and never got less anson carter, cmon JB! Git er done!

Meh, skating is not a huge issue to improve as Bo proved, his skating was suspect too but with a lil work
-
As much as i'd like to see Caulfield in the line up, a small undersized player would get destroyed in the playoffs so hopefully a big bodied sniper will don a nux uniform soon, kind of tired of watching a great seasonal team get hammered out of the playoff's first round... years of that got old really quick
-
And we snagged Beagle off that list Hope JV comes back and shows more progression, same with Gaudette.. was like Bo really, just needed to shore up his defensive game before turning loose his hobey baker scoring skills, still say he's underrated by a lot of people but like most guys who needed exp in the bigs before cranking it up a notch which we had a few glimpes of last season
-
Crossing fingers for a new and improved version "edler" in the form of Solderstrom for Eddie to mentor.. just needs some nhl experience by the looks of it, pretty sure he'd make first call up after being assigned to utica... rather have zegras but see what happens today. Andddddd JB, Ferland pls!!! Best version of keith tkachuk i've seen in awhile, tough as nails sniper the first line desperately needs
-
Maybe but we need to work on our overall depth because it's fine to have a full roster of D but you know how we are with injuries.. hopefully JB continues to address issue with ncaa or otherwise so we don't lose so many games and miss the playoffs because of it, we lost quite a few games last year and the year before by 1 goal and even a small but substantial upgrade should solve that as JB keeps at it and also we should be getting Train back next season so we should continue to move forward in that respect.
-
Like hughes last year, bpa plus positional need at the same time. Easiest way to beef up the blue line is a top ten D nhl ready i think and that will be probably Soderstrom paired with eddie or tanev for mentorship but i'd put money if we got him and ferland that we'd make the playoffs.. Our D would be upgraded since i highly doubt soderstrom or OJ could do worse than pouliot and that alone should do it plus having depth when Tan and eddie go down as usual and yes i hate to "assume" they will but they always do. Anyway we don't have a ton of D depth but better than years precious and Ferland, i bet could do double duty as in sniping or punching if someone goes after petey or brock...

I find it a bit refreshing we're even having this discussion, heard a lot of "sign sign sign all the stars who will play here" not taking into consideration cap at all but on point, there's what happens to the increase or decrease of it too so not just easy as it seems being a GM as some would think when you have to take all aspects of the game and make it all work. Cool that this thread is on the forum and members responding makes it worth being on it in the first place. Sometimes it can get.. well you know..
