It was in their 2013 Future Watch edition, which I don't believe is available online.
-
Not sure about hockey prospectus, but Hockey News had Larsson as the Wild's sixth best prospect, and the Wilds system among the league's best.
-
Not sure they had Risto ahead of Jones.
Could be they were hoping Risto would be there for them at eight, whereas they had no hope Jones would be.
It is clear Risto was their guy though, and I believe that had they made that trade to Five with Carolina, they would have picked Risto, not Lindholm. It's also clear Devine very strongly likes both our guys.
Funny, we do all our hoping and projecting based on reports and consensus mocks and tend to forget the team's internal take may be much different, and for reasons we know nothing about.
May be that they had Risto as number four on their board and Zadorov at eight.
Maybe they hated Nicushkin and Horvat.
That video was great.
I'd love to get my hands on the teams board.

Really? I heard he pawned it to pay for his bridgework.
-
Was that before or after John Scott caved in his face?
-
I hope Rolston doesn't shut Myers down completely. His ability on the rush is a strong part of his game.
His troubles were less about being caught up-ice and more about terrible decisions when the puck was in our zone.
-
First line on Rochester please, unless he absolutely forces his way into 15 minutes a game here.
And I will admit to prematurely projecting this guy as Ryan Kesler.
Gotta have some kind of hope to cling to.
-
The Gagner and Little deals are more than I was expecting.
Looks like 20 goals gets you $4 million.
Darcy was ahead of the curve on the Stafford deal.
-
Sam Gagner is asking for $5.5 milllion at his arbitration tomorrow.
Like to see who he's using for his comparables: how many other 45-point centres are making near that coin?

Also, I would imagine Cody Hodgson and his agent are watching closely.
-
He was absolutely terrible last year, but even his biggest haters have to admit he is a better player than that.
Wouldn't be shocked if he bounces back with 20 to 25 goals next year.
And my left-field prediction: he develops some chemistry and (cue the choking noises) a mentorship role with Grigorenko.
-
I think the majority of this board quietly hopes Flynn is in Rochester next year because more hyped prospects have taken his job.
I don't think that will happen and not necessarily because the big-name guys flopped.
-
Weak article, but FWIW, I think he was comparing Hodgson to Ennis, not Stepan in that section.
-
What's the story with that kid? Discarded by three organizations already, despite obvious talent.
I know he's had concussion problems, but there has to be something else.

Aren't the bruins miles over the cap now?
$1.36 million according to capgeek :doh:

COntract doesn't kick in until next season. That's when the cap will be $78 million because that was what the lockout was for.
-
McDonaugh, Del Zotto, Staal, Girardi......24, 23, 26, 29. Scary possibilities.....
Especially as free agency looms.
Don't think Richards survives the second summer of buyout.

I hope the angst I'm reading on this thread is about the trades and/or the lack thereof.
Because the draft went well.
We leave the draft with two of the four best defencemen — 6'4, 220-pound twin towers, who can skate move the puck and like to hit.
These are the types of players most of the board wanted us to draft and they both were generally considered worthy of top 10 picks.
Compher will be the relentless type of second or third liner Sabre fans will love.
Bailey and Hurley are boom or bust types; Bailey has a power forward body and attitude, just hasn't had the results yet; Hurley could be another second-line two-way player who dominated his league, but hasn't played against high-level competition yet.
They are the types of players you can and should take a chance on with second-round picks.
Our prospect list took a serious jump today, and that is what the draft is for.
I don't like losing Sekera, I desperately wanted Lindholm. And I was hoping for the blockbuster trades.
But I am not going to lose sight of the fact we took some very good hockey players.
-
Compher a lower case Horvat. Like the pick, not the trade.
-
I wanted forwards too, but the picks we made were good at where we made them.
And we got great size and snarl.
Where are the people who always want that?
-
Islanders. Another potential Miller spot.
Nope jersey time.
-
Damn, Wennberg gone.
Shinkaruk, Erne, Rychel or (hopefully) Lazar,
-
Flyers up. Miller trade?
-
And they mocked me for talking Horvat at 8....
-
Happy. Guy I wanted if Lindholm or Monahan didn't drop.

Jay McKee's shinpad doesn't get the same play as wide right, but to me it was the signature moment in Buffalo sports history.
That Sabres team was the league's best that year, yet the opportunity was stolen under circumstances more bizarre than fiction.
That cup should have been ours. I will never be convinced otherwise.
