Josh Anderson and Taylor Leier are now top notch prospects? What is Horvat then, a god?
Well, I guess being two of Canada's 25 under 20 year olds representing their country that must count for something done it? Maybe not

It must mean something, I mean it sure worked for standouts Brandon Reid, Colton Gillies, Justin Pogge and Zach Boychuk right? All have had much better careers than Burrows and Bieksa who were nowhere near making the team.

Rest assured while Burkie was in charge, dude was busy nailing his ass to the wall.

And of course he'll be saying how awesome Gillis was after he's gone.

It's a troll thang....

Finally! Somebody answered the question in a respectable manner. Thanks Skyo. Are those guys 4th round pick worthy?

It has been brought to my attention that Gillis could have drafted Erik Karlsson who is undeniably the best defenseman in the NHL, instead of Cody Hodgson. This is insane! This makes the Nonis - Kopitar draft day bypass seem irrelevant in the grand scheme of grand draft day bypasses.

Karlsson will undoubtedly win the Norris this year. Leads all defenseman in points, sitting 15th overall on the points leader board, in fact he is 19 spots ahead of forward Kopitar who sits 34th overall. That's insane !

Chef Boi RD is up in arms over this. This is an absolutely shocking revelation that needs further discussing.

I would like to thank Vic for bringing me this juicy little bit of scoop to my attention

Cheers

Do what I do, put Vic on your list.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
