I'm not feeling that confident about DAL picks, I mean, 5 D's, really? DET on the other hand managed things better.
Glad the world got to see real Alexis Sanchez fucking up that penalty shot, he's responsible for wasting that big of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Also, on the Canucks trading for Dorsett, some dude was overhearing a phone conversation between Linden and god knows who at JJ bean and scooped the entire draft for the Canucks. Among it, this gem, a question on Dorsett:

just woke up, saw the Kings traded Vey 
liked him quite a bit, Nucks fans should be happy
More important, finally fucking Baldur's Gate 2 is on sale, good lord. Now I can buy it for everyone I know.

Everything I read seems to say the same. Good prospect but just no space on the Kings roster. I'm happy with it.
That also makes the trade Garrison & 7th for Vey :lol

Polak is concerning. Maybe it won't be so bad in the end, but it does not look good.
However Shanahan... oh gosh he's a complete idiot.
BOLLAND
BRODEUR
WTF
THIS IS WORSE THAN LAST YEAR

If Richards had been bought out they would've kicked the wheels on him as a replacement, and a lot of people thought he could be a longterm replacement for Stoll when he walks next year. It's more likely he'll be an offensively slanted (and good) third line center, but there's a decent chance he pans out into more. Just don't have the roster space for him, yeah. Loktionov all over again.

Ville Husso is going to be the next Rask. The next Lehtonen at worst.
This is just how the world works.

Hello.
Next season was a lost cause already guys, just go do something else and take your mind off of it.
At least Polak has only 2 years on a cheap contract.
Broduer they wouldn't sign for more then 1 year and it would help the tank tremendously.
I still think Bolland will chase the money elsewhere.

Never count out the Jets, either.
But yeah, Buffalo and the Isles will most likely be tanking hard too.
Not so much for wanting out, but he limited their options to two teams, both in the same conference. Also he IS kind of a douche from everything we've ever heard about him. Though a douche that really wants to win and can be very valuable, especially in the playoffs.

The hyperbole in this thread every year is amazing
Seems like Sharks were targeting a couple guys who have a lot of even strength points, Goldobin and Sadowy were both near the top in the OHL.
Final count is 5 wingers, 2 D, and 1 C. And of all these players 6 of them are described as being at least above average speed-wise. Most of those 6 are said to be straight up fast so it seems the scouting staff is finally recognizing speed as one of the top priorities for drafting.
Haven't completely left their old ways though, they drafted Vanier, a gigantic slow dman, who says he models his game after Douglas Murray. Grrrreeeeaaaaaaaat. He had 36 points in 61 games though, so if you're going to draft yet another gigantic slow defender at least he seems pretty good at moving the puck. Maybe this one will work out better than Petrecki did.

Brodeur deserves so much better than to go out a Leaf
So far, I'm pretty happy with the Hawks this season. Even tho we didn't get Kessler, we can keep Sharp now if we want.
Draft has been good too. 1st rounder being a kid who loves Chicago, AND a center? Really solid.
Can't go wrong with the Marios or Mario Kart 7. I've been playing the shit out of new Yoshi's Island, but no one else seems to like it like I do.

I'm not sure what's going on with Spezza. Is he unhappy and want out of Ottawa?
I know Kesler was unhappy about being in a rebuilding team. Not sure if it's the same as Spezza
According to an interview, Kesler wanted Chicago/Anaheim but he was only really asked to waive his NTC for Anaheim, may have waived it for other teams if it was presented

Raid 2 has a couple incredible action scenes in it.
I think I like the first film more though.

Dastardly, it is absolutely fine for you to rep the Capitals in support of a countryman. I cheer for the Caps myself because my former college roommate and best man is a huge fan. Your reasoning is much better than that to begin with.
Plus, as someone else said, they never play each other anyway. You know who to root for when they do, too.

What does that even mean? Kesler and his agent were asked multiple times by Benning to add teams beyond Anahiem and Chicago, but they refused.
I blame everyone!!

Our shitty managment
Our shitty coaches

This is correct. If the Sabres had 25 more points this year, they would have still been 3rd worst. And that Sabres team had Miller, Moulson, and Ott for the majority of the year. Next year's team will be worse.

Seems like it was implied he would have waived for other teams that weren't on his preferred list of two. Probably would have been cool with San Jose/Los Angeles or other good teams. Also said there were other teams earlier in the season but there were coaching changes that made him take them off.
Thought he would have gotten even more due to the Nikitan deal.
