So Buffalo was like hey! Here's a contract offer and Allan Walsh was like... "no" Allan Walsh sucks btw

You think Dahlin is taking his calls?!? In the offseason?!? Lol I joke

Thompson lives in Arizona during the summer and played with both at Worlds.

Listening to him talk about the Utah trade its clear he asked for what he wanted and that's it. There's 0, zilch, nada, killer instinct in Adams. He's a middle aged dad playing GM in a mediocre straight to streaming movie.

Mrtka has such good lateral mobility and he's not even man strength.

I'm trading Kulich over him.

Listening to adams here... I still greatly dislike how he thinks. It's so narrow and unimaginative.

Which is why no deal has happened. Can't sign him until July 1.

Idk honestly. Gastrin is good though.

post first round press conference

I wish Prokhorov was smarter... he'll murder you, but he'll get caught doing it. I started a round 2-7 thread

Getting grittier has always been the answer. Kesselring and Doan have that. Benson and Ziemer have that. I'm curious if they'll focus on it in day 2 again.

A lot of red flags in Gudbranson's production before he was drafted. He was in his 2nd ohl year and while he played 20 fewer games, he only got 1 more point in year two. Had 0.56ppg his draft year compared to 0.74ppg with Mrtka. So Gudbranson was 6 months older, in year 2 of the OHL and produced less pts per game than Mrtka.

Benson is one of the only left wings we have left

Helenius, 2026 first, Rosen, Strbak, Komarov, Östlund, there's a bunch to offer.

Milton Gastrin is a 6'1" center out of Sweden. He's got that skill set that just works. His defensive game is advanced and his checking is very very good. He's got some offensive skills as well and impo could be a 2nd line center some day. With a June bday and strong international showings, he could be a diamond in the Ruff and middle 6 centers are always valued.

Nathan Behm is a 6'2" 192lb winger that grades out high in every category except skating which is just average. He's got a fun highlight package and some solid stats to back it up. There's power forward elements to his game and with his skills, if he puts it all together you'll get a 2nd line winger.

Kristian Epperson is a 6' winger who proved his playmaking while riding with Misa all season. He helped that line a lot and is the perfect overage guy to take in round 3-5. He's got a ton of playmaking and should def be drafted this time around.

I will fight you in the parking lot.

Jack Murtagh is a 6'1" 200lb winger. He's also got a good motor and powerful edges. His playmaking is noted by most but I like his physical play most. You could do far worse than a potential middle winger at 39.

Matthew Gard would be high on my list for day 2. He's big 6'4" 192lbs and he played for a bad team last year in red deer. He's got a great motor and has all the defensive details with an untapped offensive game in there.

Kicks off at noon eastern today.

Certainly isn't ppl spelling his name correctly.

Mrtka needs to add more physicality but he's already got more than Power. He also seems far more aware of that element than Power even is today.
