Is this just a goals thing though? It’s impressive regardless, and im not going to check them all, but we seem to be cherry picking a bit as im not sure I’d call, say, Point’s season similar. He only had 4 more goals, sure, but he also had 55% more assists Aho had 83 points. JJ had 50. There’s a sizeable gap there Tho, I’d imagine JJ probably played on an inferior squad

Jeez I feel like my memory starts with RJ

Hopefully without the egregious diving McDavid and Draisaitl were sort of PP fiends eh

And I feel like Benson is primarily a playmaker Edit - I see this has been covered But he is Ben Affleck I stand by that part

Sorry, quote from Role Models. doesn’t mean anything

This is the most I can ever remember the board being so nearly unanimously in favour of moving picks and prospects even the good ones. Definitely saying something.

So some good players there and Ristolainen.. not bad

I said it’s possible and we should do it, not that we will. Teams definitely treat firsts like gold

They both white, they both Ben Affleck

Because 1st round picks are drastically overvalued Have you seen the movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner? It’s really good. If you watch that you’ll see what I mean not in terms of my post it has nothing to do with that, it’s just a really good movie, you’ll see

I’m calling shenanigans on that. Not for JUST a 1st, but considering where our first falls I think it’s easily the most expensive piece in a trade for a legit top 6 f

Oh.you mean Shenanigans? oooooooooooo! - - -

Did you say, “yes sir?” or was that “ya, sure.”? (We will ruin this thread lol)

It’s powdered sugar. it’s delicious

Also my namesake is literally in this gif I’m going to pistol whip the next guy who says shenanigans

These schnozberries taste like schnozberries

No I usually read a lot into their media and have posted my theories on this a lot tbh I just am convinced it’ll be Dahlin here, I laid out my reasons upthread. if I’m wrong so be it. I just hope I’m not …go on?!

What do you think our first round pick is worth?

They can’t hurt us anymore than they already have, we’ll get through it together as an online family

Sorry, just saw this What was the actual quoted number in the article? 7 mil AAV or 3.5? If it was 3.5, just ignore this whole post: - - - I just chuckled to myself because you are pretty consistently against actually prioritizing the now whenever push comes to shove, despite advocating occasionally for otherwise. Saying you are only good with Tofolli if he comes to us at a whopping 50% of the projected AAV is the same thing as saying you aren’t interested. Which is fine on merit obv, but imo you just seem most concerned with our ability to lock up a roster that hasn’t amounted to anything and not very interested in actual improvement in the now You can correct me if I am wrong but you don’t seem willing to give up much of anything to improve and seem to only want moves if they are unrealistically lopsided in our favour. Have your cake and eat it too type stuff There’s zero presence that I can glean of a willingness to “bite the bullet”, to make any sort of trade or signing that stings a little bit: which is of course what actual trades amount to

“Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.” - - - Another area Ruff will help that I don’t think I’ve seen mentioned is respect among the officials

Because his appearance somehow looks like it will provide an active obstacle to said explosiveness and speed

What a stinky post

The BOARD knows what we need and did last summer. Such is the nature of the stones Adams leaves/left unturned. None of it has been “ah well in hindsight”. It’s all obvious
