Dat Forsberg/Grigs slide...

lol i know

this draft is crazy

 

[Marvie_3]

Tampa needs a goalie badly, so my guess is they take Subban. I know they have a hard on for Bernier as well.

They just traded for one.

 

[Red_Man]

Burke said he had Reilly in front of Yakupov..... l o fucking l if true. It's probably bullshit though.

Why do GMs hate Forsberg?

Scout I follow on twitter was asked this, and said he's talked to a few scouts who aren't convinced he has high offensive upside.

 

[Solo]

Hey teams drafting 10-15: there is some fucking PRIME offensive talent to be had. Get on it!

 

[Zombie James]

So what's wrong with Forsberg?

 

[Alucard]

Kind of weird that the Pens didn't take a forward. They've got Despres waiting in the wings already. Did they need another puck-moving dman? Hope this guy pans out.

Parise. Pens are in you?

SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[SCHUEY F1]

This draft be so crazy.

 

[rellix]

DON'T BE DICKS TAMPA. PICK ANYONE BUT FORSBERG.

they're gonna pick forsberg.

 

[Solo]

Tampa cannot take Subban now. Too many good forwards left. Looks like Chicago gets Subban.

 

[ZeroGravity]

This draft is so crazy we might draft a forward.

 

[Fei]

This is amazing. Sabres are going to have one of Forsberg/Grigorenko/TT fall to them while standing pat.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Turns out that Lindholm is actually just Julian Assange, I knew they would want to help him get to Ecuador!

 

[Alucard]

Why do GMs hate Forsberg?

Getting by on his last name?

 

[Solo]

This draft is so crazy we might draft a forward.

I think they should and will. Forsberg. If Chicago passes on Subban at 19, TB takes him at 20.

 

[SpectreFire]

DON'T BE DICKS TAMPA. PICK ANYONE BUT FORSBERG.

they're gonna pick forsberg.

Of all the teams that drafted so far, Tampa is the one that actually NEEDS a dman.

 

[calder]

Someone hold me

My god if forsberg is a 40-50 pt guy (optimistic, obviously) in the NHL in 3 years and trouba is still a few years away this is gonna sting.



Trouba seems like a good kid anyway. Gimme a few more minutes to come around

 

[Seguin]

I bet if the Jets were still the Trashers then Subban would've gotten picked 9th

Don't worry he'll be a solid defensive d-man in 8 years

 

[Montresor]

We have Gardiner and WERE in on Schultz...but unless we can get him and guarantee good minutes...? I think we're out of it.

That's the thing, I was thinking we WERE in on him and we could focus on forwards

I said it awhile ago but fuck Schultz. Whoever is getting him probably tampered and will get hit by the Ducks. Whoever signs him I hope it's not the Leafs. If Rielly becomes a stud D, then the pick is excellent.

But guess what, the Leafs internal rankings are what made the Leafs defensive core weak as it is today.

Regardless of their past success, I still think they shouldn't draft based on positional need.

 

[Solo]

I'll be really curious to see who takes Teuvo. Whoever does.......be ready to wait 4 years for him.

 

[Red_Man]

A team outside of the top 10 will get one of 2 top 5 picks, both who've been ranked 2nd overall at some point this season. Pure Madness. Some teams are making big mistakes with all these Dmen picks.

 

[Solo]

Most entertaining draft I've ever watched, I think. Most fun I've had watching something hockey-related since about November :lol

I don't think he was a bad pick.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Nevermind. Wrong pic.

 

[RandomDancing]

Twitter rumor right now is Flyers and Caps GMs are talking on the floor in an attempt by the Flyers to get the 11th spot. Not quite sure who would be involved. Oy. I'm nervous.

 

[Solo]

For Habs-Gaf

Alyonka in Habs red...............HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG
















Wait, were you trying to show me something else?

 

[rellix]

draft by best player, not need, imo.

 

[Red_Man]

This draft so far has been more entertaining for me then rounds 2-4 of the playoffs combined.

Forsberg! But what the hell could we have given up....

Wait, were you trying to show me something else?

Thought they had Gally with her... just clicked it quick...

 

[Doctor West]

The draft is stress free. #30 feels good.

 

[lupinko]

Forsberg! But what the hell could we have given up....

Then he'll be sent in a package for the third coming of Lindros.

 

[purg3]

FUCKING HELL, JUST GOT HOME AND STAAL IS GONE. DUDE WAS MY FAVORITE PLAYER ON THE TEAM. FUCKING BULLSHIT,UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH.

HAVE FUN WASTING AWAY IN CAROLINA YOU FUCK.

WTF AM I GOING TO DO WITH MY STAAL JERSEY NOW?

/cries

 

[Red_Man]

LOL what the fuck

 

[Coldnoodle]

KOEKKOEK

 

[Fei]

YESSSSSSS

 

[Brinbe]

Holy crap haha

 

[SpectreFire]

LOOOOOOOOL

FORSBERG AND GRIGS SHITTING THEIR PANTS

 

[bardia]

What the fuck is going on

 

[ZeroGravity]

WHAT

 

[ActStriker]

DEFENSEMEN FOR EVEYRBODY

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

NOOOOOOOOO

 

[Doctor West]

It's all about defense, ladies.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Then he'll be sent in a package for the third coming of Lindros.

Um, yes please? I'd take a new Lindros in a second. Maybe he won't be a prick this time....

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Grigorenko: "I KHL now bye"

 

[Coldnoodle]

GRIGS OR FORSBERG! UNF UNF UNF

 

[Fei]

If the Sabres don't take Grigorenko or Forsberg (or even Girgensons), I'm going to flip.

 

[Merguson]

The Leafs might consider moving up into the late 1st round.. just a remote possibility..

 

[calder]

Maybe there's an issue with forsberg that the teams saw at the combine.

This is what I'm telling myself anyway. :|

 

[Red_Man]

I don't even know who the fuck this kid is.

 

[dem]

Forsberg not gone yet?

Someone pick these guys before the flames pick
