According to Craig button and Jamie maclennan you’re wrong. They both realize (as does the level headed posters here) you need to provide your young stars with talent to play with AND you need them to get playoff experience (even if it means getting bounced in the first round) in order for them to grow as players. Then when these stud core players hit their prime 25-30 they’re in the position to actually challenge for the cup. Winnipeg is going through this phase right now, as is Carolina, Toronto and Calgary. Teams like Boston, sanjose, Pitt, Washington are all cup contending because there core players have played in the trenches and they know what it takes.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 7:05 pmIt was going fine for the last 2 1/2 years.

I’ll take Ray’s word over a guy who couldn’t hold a job in the show and a guy who was one of the worst goalies to play in the league in the last 20 years.

Not lottery protected in 2021. When Woo, Podkozlin (maybe), Tryamkin, Juolevi, Hoglander, Madden, Lockwood, Lind, Gadjovich etc got jobs or are pushing for jobs with the the bugbear club joining experienced NHL’ers Horvat, Pettersson, Boeser, Virtanen, Hughes, Demko (if not traded for a first round pick prior to expansion draft), Stecher, Miller, Roussel, Tanev (if not traded for a top pick) etcBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 7:05 pmIt was going fine for the last 2 1/2 years.

You did? Fuck man there’s only so many mines you can work at. You’re going to need to move to Copper Mountain in Princeton I guess.

Briefly ran the exploration there in 2006, did a few 30 hour shifts managing the drills. Was a gong show.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 8:14 pmYou did?

Re: 2019 NHL ENTRY DRAFT - Vancouver
All you people who hate the Miller trade only get to bitch about Benning BECAUSE the GM is Benning.
The ten top picks before Benning became GM were Horvat, Gaunce, Jensen, McNally, Schroeder, Hodgson, White, Grabner, Bourdon, and Schneider - Whoopdeefriggindo!
Some people act like first round picks are guaranteed hall of framers. Take a friggin pill. Sell your house and go buy a truck load of lottery tickets. There is no way you can lose!
Bunch of friggin morons.
