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

Best troll possible

 

[Red_Man]

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

He was injured for the year, and came back and scored 22 goals as an overager. If I ever hear his name again ill be shocked.

 

[Smiley90]

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

Make that 35 according to the weathernetwork's "feelslike"

 

[Cake Boss]

Jesus Habs have a shit ton of picks.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Another one?

Yeah, you were selling the PS4 of cat chasing toys

 

[Smiley90]

Damnit just got home from grabbing a Frappuccino and only heard the last 5 seconds of the Schneider interview? What did he say?

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Well now I remember what movie I've been meaning to watch.

Gauthier did some good before he got the boot.

It's not the heat it's the humidity!

 

[Red_Man]

Bah still no Subban

 

[Solo]

The Subban Bros dream dies.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers took some goon in the third round who might not have even been drafted.

 

[RC]

I think everyone's forgetting (outside of Nucks GAF) that the prevailing sentiment prior to 2011 was to trade Schneids. So when Gillis talked about his plan to develop Schneids so he could eventually trade him, wasn't exactly wrong.

 

[Smiley90]

Canucks pick.. another Center.

Cole Cassels (C, 2013), Oshawa – clever two-way pivot who displays good vision .. thinks ahead – anticipates plays before they happen .. particularly effective distributing the puck from the neutral zone .. executes accurate and crisp passes – both forehand and backhand – and requires minimal time and space – can make it look effortless .. propelled by a looping skating style and moderate first-step quickness .. could add power to his stride – straight-ahead speed is average at best, however these areas should improve with physical maturity and added leg strength .. defensive instincts are sound which earns him time on the penalty-killing unit .. shows no fear blocking shots or sacrificing his body .. can excel neutralizing opponents along the boards with solid hits and checks, yet isn’t overly large or powerful at six-foot and 180 pounds .. must guard against letdowns however as he can become static in his own end at times .. must continue to refine his faceoff technique – clearly falls behind on draws .. needs to be encouraged to be more selfish about exploiting shooting opportunities as he too often tends to operate in ‘pass-first’ mode ..

Torts is gonna love this kid.

 

[Cake Boss]

Fuck Celhrik gone as well.

 

[Rand0m TAG]

Fuck you Sven
Now I have to wait until 116

 

[Acid08]

So as of right now:

Marleau-Couture-Hertl
Galiardi-Thronton-Burns
Torres-Pavelski-Kennedy
Desjardins-Wingels-Burish
Havlat(injured)/Sheppard/Kearns

Vlasic-Braun
Stuart-Demers
Irwin-Boyle

Niemi
Stalock

Havlat is done for at least some of the season but he'd slot in on Couture's line unless Hertl has some amazing chemistry with them. Overall it looks like if everyone's healthy we'll have a damn solid group of forwards with some decent depth next year.

The decision on Burns is going to made this coming week according to a beat guy. He's going to sit down with DW and TMac and hash out which position he should play. Looking at our D corps I really want him to go back to defense. If Hertl works out and Havlat comes back we don't need him to be a forward. Either that or one of our many D prospects is hopefully ready to step up.

I'm excited to see this team play next season. 3 months to go.

 

[Fata1moose]

Dat beautiful jersey.

I really dislike our jerseys with the apron stripes, wish they would bring back a new version of the mountain border, maybe with the mountains on the bottom only though, always felt the ones on the sleeve made the jersey look smaller. I like our forward line-up with the addition of MacKinnon. I still wanted Jones, but I understand why the Avs were weary of taking him. I hope we can add Ference this offseason and dump Hunwick and Zanon somehow. Would also love to have Horton, but we don't have cap space for him.

 

[Cake Boss]

Bickell resigned for 4 years.

 

[lamaroo]

There goes Bjorkstrand.

 

[Red_Man]

Fuck you Sven
Now I have to wait until 116

A bunch of scouts on twitter seem really high in him and think he's a sleep of the draft, he's 20 so maybe well see him wing the Dogs this season.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

A goalie? Cool.

 

[Kave_Man]

I'm sad I didn't see my new commercial.

CAT'S MEOW

CAT'S MEOW

GET YOUR NEW CAT'S MEOW NOW

BECAUSE WITH YOUR CAT'S MEOW, WHICH CATS LOVE

YOU GET AN EXTRA CAT'S MEOW

AND NOT ONLY THAT

BUT CAT'S MEOW

IS ALSO ENDLESS ENTERTAINMENT

 

[Madness]

So glad Avs got McKinnon... So hopeful for next season. Got Sakic more involved with upper management. Brought on Roy as coach.

Sucks for what they did to Canucks. Can't wait to see the asshole bandwagoners jump back on the Bobby Lou wagon.

Just amazing that they didn't trade Schneids to Edmonton...

 

[zedge]

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

Sigh

Just got a notification on my phone: Bickell signed to a four-year extension.

Edit: $4 million AAV.

Nothing against Sven, I just want the other subban

 

[lamaroo]

He's no PK, more like Yanick Webber.

 

[zedge]

I like the size of this Kanzig. Need some bigger d.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Fuck you Bowman.

Holy overpayment.

 

[Smiley90]

So... with Schneider gone and Ballard most likely bought out, and Eriksson/Lack as our backup, we'll have..

7.3 Mio in Cap Space. Not that bad. With that we need...

Daniel-Henrik-Burrows
Higgins-Kesler-Booth
Hansen-xxx-xxx
Sestito-xxx-Kassian

Centers could be Schroeder and Lapierre that need to be resigned. 3rd line RW is probably gonna be Jensen for 860k.

D we're set if we resign Tanev, which we most definitely should.

So... with Jensen called up, we'll have 6.5 Mio to resign Lapierre/Schroeder/Weise/Tanev. Not that bad anymore.

EDIT: That is assuming Roy is gone.

EDIT2: Forgot about Kassian. We also have Weise, who's better than Pinnizotto, as 13th forward or so.

 

[Kave_Man]

HAPPENING.

 

[CrankyJay]

Come on Nick Babtiste, be there for the 3rd round.

haha, are the Sabres just pissing on your parade today or what?

 

[jaybeeze]

My knowledge of phallic sizes in the animal kingdom is not as vast as zedge's, I'm sure he'll know what to do.

Kassian says hi

 

[zedge]

Lol screw you guys.

 

[Cake Boss]

Now my parade smells like Buffalo.

 

[Smiley90]

Kassian says hi

Also Weise, probably. Fine, Kassian can... uh... play 4th line RW. That only simplifies things in terms of resigning. I forgot about him, but he was included in the cap numbers.

Why would you stick such a talented play maker on the fourth line?

 

[Red_Man]

Fucale interviews really well from the couple I've seen him do today.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Fucale seems like the chillest brah drafted. Too bad he goes to the Habs. Hot sister too.

 

[lamaroo]

LOL at Fucale's dad.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

HAVE SOME FUCKIN DIGNITY!
