Bertuzzi? Holland and his loyalty is out of control.

 

[SpectreFire]

That sucks. I would have liked Schneider here rather than playing against him five times a year. And Morin probably won't even be in the NHL for three or four years.

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't push harder. Seemed like the perfect fit for them. Canucks probably wanted Couturier.

Come on subban at 71

Buffalo with a steal

I have no idea what Sekera is like but McBain was godawful last season. I would have given him away.

 

[calder]

This is "Dump everyone but Kane,Toews,Seabrook,Keith" version 2.0
.....
So they'll win another cup 3 years from now?

Ladd and Buff will greet Frolik with a hug and say "we know that feel, bro".

Despite my best efforts, Im sticking around to see that pick just for that very reason.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Trying to spin it like Hodgson? Totally different scenario.

It's definitely spin, but Gillis is right. *3* years ago Luongo was the guy and any goalie we brought up in the system was just going to get dealt. The spin is that the plan went out the window after the LA series if not before.

In some sense the deal is sound. Canucks free 4m in cap space, they get a top 10 pick in a fairly deep draft, don't have to deal in-division, and they don't have to make an Edler trade. (There's no way players would come on the way back apart from prospects, not unless there was more players on the way out).

But the execution was garbage. He could have had this deal next week, he could have talked to both guys ahead of time. Gillis was right to rely on the sense of professionalism Luongo gave this entire time, but making a cold hockey decision to one of your best players is not a great way to inspire confidence. So far all it saved him was 1 difficult decision elsewhere while laying the groundwork for some other GM in the future.

But Pierre compared him to Lidstrom all the time!

I really hope so, it's a late pick, and he's not bad so hopefully he's still there.

 

[Red_Man]

Lekhonen trains with Koivu in the summer, give him the C.

 

[DopeyFish]

Bobrovsky is back on the case

For 2 years

Sekera was probably the least awful on a team of awful D last year for Buffalo. Hard to say he was "good" though.

 

[Razorskin]

Forgot the draft was tonight. wtf

Good news, the goalie controversy is over!

 

[Revenant]

Lol Schneider was called right after the trade to be informed he was dealt..

"Hey Cory baby, yea draft is going great... you sitting down? You should probably sit down"

He was at a fundraiser for the bombing victims in Boston... Imagine cheering at a fundraiser after a bomb like that.

Good news, the goalie controversy is over!

For 2 years, until Lack&Eriksson are ready to become Nr1s...

 

[lamaroo]

Diaby gone. Baptiste, Bjorkstrand, Hayden in that order based on what I've read.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

I eagerly await being furious at Frolik for wasting a partial breakaway in OT by snapping a wrister square into the goalies crest. I've never noticed Frolik in a game where I didn't think he was underperforming somehow, I'm sure he'll be fine being expected to be a second/first liner on a crappy team. Sigh.

So lets go, Comrie and..... trading 61 for three later picks? Snore.

Busts his ass every shift and good on the PK at least. Hope we pick up a FA with the cap space.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

So close. Were getting there

I'm just gonna sit here in my underwear and watch Dredd

in the basement

Awesome movie especially 3d.

 

[Red_Man]

Habs pick Connor Crisp?

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Omg I'm dying

 

[Cake Boss]

BUFFFALOOOOOOOOOOO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKK

I would say something bad about you but being Buffalo is bad enough so I wont pile on.

 

[Revenant]

Busts his ass every shift and good on the PK at least. Hope we pick up a FA with the cap space.

have to assume hawks have their targets, freely dumping two role players just to stock up on picks. just freed up 5.6 million on two guys playing 3rd and then 4th line minutes. not bad.

 

[Solo]

How do you like your connor?

I like my Connor Crisp!

 

[Red_Man]

Apparently another goaltender....... Maybe Subban will be there at 86

 

[Kave_Man]

Hey guys what I miss?

 

[lamaroo]

Habs pick Connor Crisp?

:lol that name. I've never even heard of him. My guess is they wanted Baptiste.

 

[Smiley90]

:lol Christ I didn't even notice. It's hot, okay?

 

[Razorskin]

Huh? He's a centre

 

[Crazymoogle]

Hey guys what I miss?

You were in an excellent commercial

 

[Hunter S.]

Hey guys what I miss?

Mackinnon. Leafs blow as usual. Roy is a badass.

 

[Cake Boss]

Ahh who gives a shit TSN show the fucking draft you cunts.

 

[Solo]

Oh snap Schneider up next

 

[Red_Man]

Huh? He's a centre

Lol never mind, he dressed as goalie when both his teams goalies were injured, mis read twitter :lol :lol

 

[lamaroo]

Huh? He's a centre

He played a game as goalie when the two got injured apparently :lol

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Draft Subban for laughs. Make the whole family hate each other.

 

[Red_Man]

Another big kid, but went unranked by all major scouting services......I'm not really a fan of this "draft big" thing Timmins has going, but we already have too many small, skilled forwards. Well have to wait and see how it turns out in a few years.

 

[zedge]

Wtf Flames did not take native kid Shinkaruk.


Porior..who the f

 

[RC]

:lol Christ I didn't even notice. It's hot, okay?

30 goddamn Celsius now. I will punch the next person who tells me how lovely it is outside.

Yes pls

Because Feaster, that's why.

You can tell Bergevin and TT took the embarrassment Ottawa dished out to us physically to heart.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Cal Clutterbuck?

C'mon man. We could have gotten someone much better than that if we were giving away Nino.

 

[Marvie_3]

Marvie wiping his tears away with two Cup banners, one eye each.

:lol

You can tell Bergevin and TT took the embarrassment Ottawa dished out to us physically to heart.

Loading up on physical players after a beating in the playoffs sure worked for Vancouver.

 

[Razorskin]

Wtf Flames did not take native kid Shinkaruk.

They decided to go off the board when they could've had him at 22.

 

[Red_Man]

You can tell Bergevin and TT took the embarrassment Ottawa dished out to us physically to heart.

De La Rose and Mccarron are still good picks and have good upside, but I really hope they didn't neglect more skilled guys just because theses guys are 6'4.

 

[Cake Boss]

A 6'5 goalie.

Laaaaaammmeee

Passed over last years draft I guess, seems to be a goon. Hopefully he turns out better than Ian Schultz did.

Another one?
