Was that not the scouting report on the Standing-Pelican that caused him to drop down the rankings?

I was happy with the Willander pick because what he lacked in overall offensive game, his overall skill and upside seems to be better.
Tom has been surprisingly error-free so far. I've been really impressed.

Totally in character. Real dirtbag stuff there.

Please, Mr. Francesco, do not trade this guy for a possible 4 games of playoff revenue. Thx.

Y'know, I won't ever bash Bargain Binnington too hard again after the glory he brought to Canada. Such conflicted feelings...

Celebrini leads the league in scoring while Bedard is 9th overall. How do you leave these two off Team Canada Olympics? You also have to give Schaefer strong consideration.

Adjustments

Do you think when Lafreniere looks at Celebrini he goes “what happened to me?”

Lafreniere - 1 goal 5 assists

D FENCE. They are good kids, but not good enough at the 200 foot game yet. They are not our top line, and they are not built as 4th liners. Give them 4 years.

You keeping Seth Jarvis and Travis Konecny over Celebrini and Bedard?

Btw, Celebrini plays a very solid 200’ game.

Tom Villain der is getting noticed:

https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/n ... surprising

Imma give this regime credit for identifying their guy and sticking to their guns, not trading up or down.

I feel like this Canuck unicorn RHD prospect has a chance to become better than a Hronek but nowhere near high-end as Hughes. That's gotta be a 3-run shot for this franchise.

So, that means odds are good that he'll be moved to another team before his prime kicks in to fix this continuing, stinkin', floating cesspool of ambergris.

I'm hoping (at least) that he becomes the injury-free version of Tanev.
