Ur a Towel

Yeah because it happened with Joulevi means it automatically will happen with every D we pick. Don't act like you know everything, especially more than our scouts. You have some of the worst takes I've seen on this site and you're free to go cheer for another team. I don't think you'll be missed here

Get over yourself.

Revenge game for Canada, but it won't be easy. Czechs have looked really good this tourny. Biggest difference though is Canada has Bedard and if he decides to take over the game, then Canada should win. Go Canada!

Maybe pick a different username if you don't want people commenting on it? From what I've seen in this thread recently, there's been no real harrasment at all and you seem to be very keen on playing the victim here.

3-1 nucks Hughes gwg

4-3 nucks Petey gwg

4-2 nucks. Boeser gwg Pims philly

So excited to finally get the season started. Hoping for a win but it'll be tough to stop McDavid. Thinking Campbell helps us out a bit here and we come out with a 5-3 win.

As much as I agreed with you that there's no reason to hate on the dog media posts, posts like this and the one right after from you are just as much not needed. If the negativity here is getting to the level where you feel the need to respond like this, then maybe you should take a break from cdc or start using the ignore button. No point in going right down into their level of negativity.

Figured he'd end up retiring. 25 seasons is a long time to be in the league and he had an amazing career. Next stop is into the HoF.

Big center from the USHL. Maybe this will make the people looking for size happy

There are options out there as stop gaps for a season or 2 until the right player comes around. Anybody they draft now are 2 or 3 years away at the earliest before they're making an impact on our roster. Would you want them to reach for a pick in the first round just for needs? This rarely works out well for a team. Lekkerimaki is a great pick and will end up being a very good player for us. About the best you could expect for a 15th overall pick. I'm sure they did their diligence and tried to see if there were any trades where they could move up/down or acquire another pick but clearly they either weren't there, or the cost was too high. There's an entire off season still to go, let's wait a bit before we start roasting management for not doing exactly what you wanted them to.

I assumed that since he's drafted and playing out of Europe, he can still go to the AHL? I thought this was how it worked anyways. Either way, it was more meant in general not Lekkerimaki specifically. With that said if that's true, he can still play in the NHL, Sweden or CHL which would still be more options than a CHL player where it's NHL or back to the CHL.

Free agency hasn't even opened yet, so the only other place they could sign from were college free agents. Maybe they don't see any of them being worth a contract spot? Way too early to be saying this. Also, it will take time to get younger, faster and harder to play against. They aren't doing it in 1 draft. They're going to take BPA in the first round and they most definitely did. There's still free agency and trades where they can address needs as well as later drafts.

Or it could just be that their bpa at each of their picks just happened to come from Sweden? I doubt they're drafting these kids just because they're swedish. That being said, if the players are equal, I'd rather them draft from Europe over CHL players. Easier to control their development.
