Did some research and posted about that pick in the lever thread Megs.

That highlight video you posted was impressive

Big kids with high motor, character and a shot on them. Seems to be the template for this draft. They're not all physical, but are not afraid of the physical side of things. Seems they are banking on some of the kids making strides in their skating ability post-draft. You can't coach size. And if ...

That's a reach at best.

At the end of the day we come out of this draft much father ahead than before

Was that the first goalie taken this year?

6'7, 236 lb's, C, Brooks Rogowski
Hopefully he plays to his size

If there’s a disappointment it’s that the entire approach was conservative. From the players picked to the lack of trade movement. On the latter, so many teams were so active, we know the market existed to make deals to get the guy you want or to add picks. They didn’t play, which is also the conse ...

Bleyl gone at 31. Preston still of interest to me. Why these guys? They are boom bust,

Preston's speed & stick handling is certainly intriguing. If he was a little bigger he probably would have been 1st rd.

Sleep well

San Jose should take Verhoeff

Reid, Bjorck, Carels all there for Calgary - wow. I thought they would take Bjork Well, that was the other choice. I think they are looking toward the 2027 draft, where there are a lot of centres. Winners are built from the goal out. They have Wolfe in goal, and now 4 great D men/prospects. They ...

From what I'm reading, there's not expected to be anything more than footsoldiers (dolphins in the Sea of Granlunds?) left by the time the Canucks pick next at 24. This rebuild is on course to take expansion team levels of patience. We need to find a way to enjoy watching them lose for a couple of ...

I still think they take Malhotra. The recent reports they are headed in another direction are like a false propaganda campaign to "throw them off the scent". They probably didn't realize telegraphing your intentions way in advance could have negative consequences Meh. The 3OA is the easy pick. The ...

But does Petey have interest in Ottawa?

DeBrusk?

Why do we want to get rid of him again?

We're going to need players on the ice next year.

True, but if they can get a 1st for him now might be the time to move on.

So many rights he was begging for a left

And yes, they met with Vehoeff in Jan/Feb. but different management team Maybe....RJo and the CoPhoHos could have been involved. Unless you know differently? No I don’t know otherwise but do you think Alvin and Rutherford were the sharing inclusive type? But it is a point well taken. Others could v ...
