Anybody actually at the draft? I want to know the important things, like how many Canadians are in attendance, are they serving beer and for how much, and have there been any Battista sightings?
-
I read twitter for a bit, then come back hear to see if there's any news, and it's just tweets I've been reading for the past 30min. What am I doing with my life?
-
Me too. Don't do it! Or if one of their 3 guys isn't there at 8, then pull trigger.... but one will most likely be there.
-
thanks, that's 4p here.
-
What time does the draft officially start? 4 or 5p?
-
Never go full McKenzie.

:thumbsup:

I'll be he ends up someplace like VAN, or NSH, for a reasonable amount. He's not trash, just not worth a premium contract. Sad? Haha, no. He's made $50mil over the last 10 years.... don't feel sorry for him one bit.
-
Why would anybody trade anything for him at this point?
-
Jimmy doesn't like misunderstandings!
-
Wonder if Vesey attends dev camp (7/6-12) if he's not under contract? Will Eichel be there?
-
Vatanen likes to free wheel with the puck. Him and Fowler are their best skaters so they split them up. Fowler's knock is that he doesn't have very good offensive insincts, his decision making when to jump in the play or stay back is poor. Considering how great of a skater he is, he should be a weapon offensively, but he is not.... at least not at this point in his career. How much of that has to do with who he is paired with, who knows. But the skill set is there. He'd be top pairing in BUF, no question.
-
FWIW, Fowler was paired with Bieksa who was awful last season (I live in Orange County and watch all the Ducks games). Lindholm and Vatanen were the top pairing, they're both fantastic. Put Fowler with either of those two and his adv stats would look much better.

Next years first would make more sense, plus Ennis and a thurd this yesr.

what's Nathan Paetsch doing these days?

I have a kid who just finished PeeWee, he's moving up to Bantam next season. I also have a kids in Squirts. They dont have "midget" anymore, at least not in soCal. They call it 16u. They cannot check until Bantam 12-14yo. It used to be PeeWee 10-12yo. I hate it. The earlier you can learn to hit and most importantly take a hit, the better. The difference in size of the kids in Bantam is insane. Better yet, instead of going from no check to full check, allow some checking in PeeWee, no open ice hits, only check in your own end or something where you gradually ease into it. So many kids leave the sport because it suddenly becomes very violent at Bantam.

He has a mullet, some guns and likes to lounge around in a speedo. Sorry, that's all I'm allowed to say at this point.
-
Disagree. I'd rather have Stamkos at $10mil than two lesser players at $5mil. He's not damaged goods. He's young. Sabres have plenty of cap room even if they sign him for $10mil.
-
My source tells me PK Subban will NOT be traded.
-
Unless you make the sport no-contact, you'll continue to have concussions. Even no-contact, there will still be accidental collisions. Any fast moving sport has a risk, and there's not getting around it. Nobody is forcing these guys to play. They choose to play, let them live the consequences. I have no sympathy for guys like Ennis or LaFontaine.
-
The can't negotiate, but they can talk about "stuff".
-
He's a local kid. Skated with him few times last summer. Trains with my friend Larry Barron.
-
Wasn't very high on Yandle. He's poor defending in his end. Would rather have Fowler, who isn't great in his own end either, but he's a better skater, and thats something Buffalo is missing on the back end. And he's only 24, and has a friendly contract.
-
Jarmo just said yesterday that he's not trading the 3rd pick. No way WPG doesn't take Laine. Have you all gone mad?
-
Pool: How many words does Murray use to select the first round pick?
