J.I.A.H.N Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Yeah, I think this Caulfield kid should be drafted by us...….. The we resign Tryamkin and put him in front of the net on the PP and have Hughes and Caulfield skate between his legs..….. Come on guys, he is ranked all over the place, go for the sure thing, who ever that is, we are in a rebuild Reach when we are near the top...…..it is too risky now...….Zagras, Boldy, Krebs, Dach and Soderstrom are all better picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samurai Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I have never won lotto 649 and now starting to think the fix is in. For me Jim and his crew have shown that they know what they are doing. It is not all about where you pick. Arguably the best player in the NHL this year Kucherov went 58th in the 11 draft - amazing. And of course how you trade in the NHL - Pearson and Leivo I think were massive gets this year. Not the mention the flip for Schenn. AND staying patient with Marky. Jim has always said goalies take a long time to develop and he backed up that belief with his wait on Mark - I don't know many people last year including me who were saying give marky more time or actually thought he was a legit goalie. The nucks deserve a lot of credit for being patient with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is broke as the system has seriously impacted some of the worst teams in the league from improving as draft position did for years.... There are better options than this bull$&!#.

iinatcc Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Maybe someone in the GMs meeting will ask Bettman how can Chicago, a team just had a dynasty for 9 years, move up 3rd overall. And maybe they can change the lottery system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flames did a thing on Johnny and Monahan laughed out loud when they asked if Johnny was 5'9". I'd still have him Haha.

luckylager Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I'm still choked. That's some &^@#ing bull$&!# people. Why do we always get boned? What's up with that? I'm not even looking at who'll be available at #10 right now. The law of averages is totally leveraging us and NJ. Such a bunch of crap.

A high draft pick doesn't mean acquiring a franchise player is guaranteed. Kucherov went 58th, Boeser went 23rd, and there are a million other examples. And on the other end of the spectrum guys that were picked top 10 who didn't/haven't amounted to much. I think much of the CDC crew puts way too much emphasis on draft pick position. I bet JB doesn't really care that much. I'm sure he'd rather have a playoff team than a high draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorvatToBaertschi Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I trust JB at number 10, more than I’m sure a lot of fans trust their GMs with higher picks. Bo (I know MG pick) Petey Boeser Demko should have all gone before we got them, and lots more we’ll probably have of those kinds with Jasek Madden Lind Gadjovich Dipietro etc...
