I know, they do. And I get it, this is a place for fans to vent. I have in the past defended people saying whatever they want, that is what message boards are for. Its just, I don't want to block people, I want to be exposed to all conversations, but when I have an hour to spare and read through various recent posts, it gets tiresome seeing the same people posting about how bad Adams is in the thread about Adams. Posting about how bad Adams is in a thread about a trade. Posting about how bad Adams is in a thread about the draft. Posting about how bad Adams is....you get the point. I get it, people don't like him, but the complaints about him in threads...especially when the post has nothing to do with the topic....for me at least it gets overbearing.

Kesserling and Doan have no compunction about sticking up for their teammates, so that’s a start anyway.

I mean... he's 6'1" and scored at .55ppg

Good thing. Gilles has the 3rd most losses and 4th worst goals-allowed in NHL history. Nobody needs that bad voodoo hanging on him.

Nesbitt was picked higher than ranked I agree but if he turns into Adam Lowry (which he could) nobody will say they over drafted in 5 years from now. Martone to Mrtka is a bad comparison as it's forward to D but he is a power forward in the making and will body past defenders. Amico is better than Bedkowski and has a much better chance of actually being in the NHL but yes, they are both big and mean. I hope Bedkowski works out. I also really like Murtaugh and we could have picked him instead of trading. He's not as good as Carter Bear but has some similarities.

And not related to Gilles Meloche

@Eleven made them

This guy sounds like he’s going to need bail money, never to early to start collections now.

Playmaker, heading to college

Agreed. But injuries forced Joki to play in top 4 more often than not. And his $4m AAV was a hinderance for a guy playing PK when not suited, and not getting time on PP, bc he was behind Ras, power and Byram. Kesselring and Docker offer balanced pairings and can play a much better complimentary game up and down the line up.

And a small one with o ability Meaning offensive ability

D is the focus so far when you project 2-3 years forward and what current players on D may still be here. Pipeline plan and I get it. Trade for forwards who can play now.

He's a defender but a left handed one

Oh very different for sure. I have no issues with Bedkowski. It's not an either or I'd have been fine with both given where we picked. I don't like Timmins. Montreal made the big move in the second round. I'd bet Philly had their sights set on the Russian but Montreal jumped them and snagged him. Montreal has a Russian scout. That's probably a smart organizational move for them. I see him as the potential second round steal.

He's a goalie from the Q

Then they need to pick up a few NHL players that can play right now and throw'em. This kid is years away.

Last center drafters I googled and stop reading when it said: perimeter player who projects to be a middle six forward at the NCAA level. Possibly a priority college free agent signing. I need a life. Actually I’m sick and have nothing better to do. I expect one of 7th to be drafted with, 1 to be traded for a 2026 7th and one to be be traded for Robertson (joking)

Czechia center

I'm on a delay. Currently in round 4. I'm on the west coast and sleep in. So I'm only talking about rounds 1-3 in that regard.

You should have seen it in the 70's. It was lawless almost 24-7.

I like Murtagh, visaghi, and gard a lot. All good picks that Buffalo couldn't have made anyways. Didn't make them

@LGR4GMwhere are the rest of the pick threads?

Nesbitt is over drafted. That pick will age like milk. Martone isn't any more physical than Mrtka. Amico is like Bedkowski, big mean rhd.

I don't think kettles is a better version of Bedkowski

Look at their picks.
