DrJockitch Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 10 minutes ago, DefCon1 said: This was a BPA pick, I don't want size if they are going off the board with it just because of size. Last time we missed on Ehlers and Nylander because of "size" pick and picked Jake Virtanen, a total bust of a pick. I would call it general disappointment with not filling big gaps in the system than a specific comment on the player. There were a lot of red flags on Jake but I can understand why JB rolled the dice. Hindsight… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Oilers gave up a boatload compared to Toronto, both Mrazek & Kass have 2 years left & Mrazek costs more. Tough move for EDM, and the Bedard tank continues for ARZ. Not even a pretense of hiding it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First draft Started his career as amateur scout in Montreal first Swedish gm with a Swedish star to select he's the GM, of course he made the pick. Other teams had almost 10 people on stage.........just saying it's a tad hypocritical to hire women, soak up the positive press from it and then, despite being at the table, don't get to go up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 7 minutes ago, DefCon1 said: yes, am excited for the pick. They picked BPA, anyone who has problem with this pick then they really should do their research. Canucks are now stacked when it comes to wingers and they have Horvat and Pettersson as centers. What they need is to fix the D by trading some players and going UFA route maybe. I think its a good thing, Avs won the cup by have lots of forward depth aside from having great D. Ya it’s. A big insurance policy on kuzmenko and boeser too. Podkolzin-EP40-Boeser Kuzmenko-Horvat-Lekkerimaki a nice blend of North Americans Swedes and Russians if it all breaks right and stick together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allvin is the new GM, and he's well within his right as the leader of the team to be on stage to select the 1st round pick. That's why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Ryan Johnson up there? Were any assistant GMs up there? The answer is no. They had a GM, the President, the owner and his daughter, the coach, and a bunch of scouts responsible for this selection. Stop looking for reasons to get offended.

hammertime Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Darius said: Agree...these arguments im reading about size reminds me of the comments made by those that wanted Vilardi and Glass over EP. Take the guy that the scouts think is the most talented. If they have too many top 6 wingers they can translate those players into filling holes in the future. I have no issue with taking skill over size but I do have issue with taking a small winger with skating issues for our team in a position we have a log jam. Pod Boeser Garland Karlsson Klim Where does he play is he the guy to ride shotty with Pete? Does he help Bo's line taking on teams top lines?
