Clifton for Timmins straight up was never happening.

Everything I ever hear about Marner is that he either is looking for or should be looking for shorter term so he can cash out on the bigger cap coming up. If he signs for anything less than 8 years, I have no idea why he would work with Toronto/Vegas on this.

The throw in player confuses me a bit.

There was, what, one player trade yesterday? You’re watching the wrong event for help today.

Raw physical specimens drafted out of that war room… I sure would love to see a similar growth trajectory

He’s too old for this *****.

You had to google an autocorrect? I hope you don’t share your findings here because you’ll probably get banned.

Hagens was gone. Why would they?

Which is a big reason why it always bugs me how they constantly talk about how these draft picks will fit with certain guys already on the team. This isn’t a top 2 picks, it’s a completely different timeline from what the NHL team needs today.

Wow Vancouver really brought the A list.

His display out there was so very Eastern European.

Ha, might ducks. That’s hilarious. It fits the crappiness of this draft perfectly.

Very cool islanders.

Bruckheimer was so thrilled to be there. I think I heard a whole two different pitches in his voice during that announcement.

Welcome back, Bowen Byram.

This also ends the only potential fun of the night where the islanders try to move around for Hagens.

BC. So maybe Boston take the local?

It’s crazy how much he looks exactly like a lady I work with.

I’m starting to think Hagens is the pick. But watch him go to philly as I’m typing this.

Well yeah, espn. They’re rolling out D list media members. I miss nbc or whatever other company just piggybacking the TSN feed instead. It would save from this bad format, but you’d at least get the analysis.

I just want to see one of the guest announcers go rogue and announce the wrong player.

They couldn’t sync the audio?

Watch as the creepy interviewer goes out of her way to touch every single player.

I had to look up how he actually left and found a cool little bit of trivia. He was traded twice in his career, once for Benoit Hogue and once with Benoit Hogue.

I'm pretty sure they're in LA, just like the NFL model where all those announcers are at the central location. A quick google search tells me that they're about to start up a tour on the west coast in the next two weeks, so they may very well be out there for that already anyway. I wonder if the teams without a pick have named an announcer... they could do the second round maybe?
