Thanks for addressing that MattPie. Anyone can get hit by a truck tomorrow, I'm not going to sit in my basement in bubblewrap worrying about that.
Wildcard - Worst case is more like picking 12th.

I understand your frusteration with paying to see a losing team. I don't have seasons but I still have tickets to multiple games. I just keep thinking about how worthwhile your (and my) future tickets will be when we inevitably buy again next year. Without one of these surefire picks it may take a long time before we can get really excited about this team.
-
I realize there is no one way to build a winning formula but a winning team needs goal scorers. We have very very little of that. As in historically low last year and there is very little in the pipeline. Finishing last would have assured us someone who is widely considered to have that potential in spades. Someone mentioned how he could get hit by a bus the next day in another thread. That's what it might take to stop one of the top 2 guys in this draft.
-
Yes please enlighten us. I know I haven't had this argument/discussion with you. Seriously who is going to score us future goals?
@Potato - You don't 'need' one elite franchise player but let's not pretend like having one would somehow put us at a disadvantage? Many of the teams listed didn't draft the D or other core pieces to put around them. We have a lot of that in place already. We were in position for a shot at one and it's not ok that we end up picking 10th instead of 1st/2nd. We have drafted great depth type players and I like a lot of our prospect pool but again, who the hell is going to score goals? We have zero elite goal scoring prospects in our system.
-
Yep, that's exactly how I feel. 6 out of 7 meaningless wins is the start of this train wreck. We're still not going anywhere this season and having picks 12, 25, 27, 42 and 55 are not going to do anything for me. Four more months of a true tank could have turned this franchise around in a hurry. Now we're looking at atleast a couple more years of sitting on the sidelines come April and seeing our team score 3+ goals once every 9 or 10 games.
-
Well atleast your happy 11.
-
@Liger. I like our prospect pool as well in terms of defense but who the heck on that list is going to score goals? We're going to have to try and win games 2-1 every night. There are no elite goal scoring prospects in our system.
Edit - Also don't give me the Armia BS. Guy has scored a total of 13 goals in 73 AHL games. He would be scoring at a much higher clip by now if he had top line scoring potential.

I'm ###### done with this team. They sell us on how drafting well and near the top is how to rebuild a team. Many, including myself, absolutely agree with that strategy. We give up cheering for our team and watch it dismantled for three plus years and Reinhart is the only top 5 pick we will end up with? What a waste. After watching the first period and saw another backup goalie we would face I turned it off. I think I'll spend some more time with my family the next little while and not waste my time with watching another minute of this middling team. Nice to see the young D pairing develop but it's one year too soon. ###### you Enroth.

Ya we could change the passing TD to 6 points for sure. I'm actually not positive of the tie breaker (it was the default) but I agree it should be total points. I'll look into changing that as well.
-
I can go PPR. No sure about defensive players.
I've heard other leagues go 2 QB. Not sure if that puts too much emphasis on the position though.
-
With the final week of the regular season starting tomorrow I want to thank everyone for a good season. It seems like nobody felt they had a great team but it will be a tight playoff race at the end. Good luck to the 8 that still have a chance to pull off the championship.
I will set up a league again next year. Any suggestions to changes to rules/format will be welcomed. As I had mentioned before, the idea of a dynasty league might be cool.
-
Sure seems like a consensus top 3 right now. Although I wonder if Hanifin falls a spot or two on draft day due to player position, similar to Seth Jones a couple of years back.
-
@ T by B - HAHAHHAHHAHA, I thought the same thing lol.
-
As much as this is really pissing me off these meaningless wins (losses) there is a silver lining. Watching that game last night and the past few zadorov and risto look like our best players and a legit pairing. Sportsnet feed was drooling over them on more than a couple of occasions and I completely agree. Not to mention Girgs has seemed to take a large step forward as well. Having said that I would love to see a bunch more losses the rest of the way and add atleast one more top line forward to this team. I think we've already past the point of bottoming out and our high picks from the past three years are starting to contribute.
-
When do we worry about them playing themselves out of Dylan Strome's Draft Position?
Now
Columbus with a win, Carolina with a loss.

Happy thanksgiving ss!! Sat around doing nothing but watch football all day and ate some turkey. The beauty of mimicking thanksgiving in canada is I don't have to deal with the travel and family drama.
-
Sorry Hank, trade deadline expired six days ago.
-
So Zacha has now gotten a couple of games for a slue foot and six for this. Not sure if I like him more or want to stay away after knowing that.
-
Living with your wife during her pregnancy. Plus the MIL is down. Thank God I booked off the American Thanksgiving and Friday. Actually, sometimes I think I would rather be at work. :blink:
-
Sometimes teams will get a bit more motivation after a trade (as long as it's not a sell off). So maybe the teams play a bit better in the short term atleast.
-
I just wish Marner had Corry Perry size but he is a very special talent. I still wish I wasn't thinking of guys like Marner and Edmonton would actually win a game now and then.
-
Colorado and Arizona in ot. Finally a ###### break. Oh and I vote to remove the Garth's goobers so it stops jinxing us (and they've earned it).
-
Only two weeks left in the regular season. Looks like there is a very tight playoff race unfolding between the top 8 teams. Only 4 will make it. Good luck all.

Generals better be making a move now....
The tank is 1/2 over...
