What the fuck, Cherry wants american Hanifin over doug gilmour reincarnation Mitch Marner? We're living in bizarro world.

Yeah I thought that was strange too. Not only is Marner Canadian but he's from the GTA! Doesn't Cherry go on and on about how the Leafs should draft local kids?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Yeah for the 18th and 21st pick to the sens.

You have to keep him in the press box tho

 

[aidan]

It's amusing that Bieksa might end up on the milk hot dog sharks and Lucic might be a Canuck.

So much for salty rivalries.

19 & 21, when I went to the bars last night I saw a guy on a motorized unicycle with hipster glasses walking his dog. The only way it could have been more Boulder is if he was on his way to his Subaru, which he most certainly was.

Two organizations, the Canucks and Sharks, who aren't entirely sure what they should be doing in their twilight.

Yes he does, he doesn't shut up about it tbh. Also Marner's playstyle isn't too far from Gilmour, probably one of Grapes' favorite leaf players ever. Just really weird.

The good news is now that you've lived there you can live pretty much anywhere else in the world and not be infuriated.

 

[calder]

I'm really surprised/alarmed by the rumours about how aggressive the Jets are being about getting the 3rd pick. Not only that they are pushing fairly hard but that they seem to want third to get Hanifin. Just not sure I like a dman at third, unless he's basically Ekblad.

I think he likes Marner. He's just being salty about Nylander and Ritchie.

I can't believe your listening to what the media is saying, the have no source in the Leafs room anymore.

SAMYY! You just got out of Uni. YOU'RE. DAMMIT...! :'(

[Kave_Man]

I can't remember if Cherry liked Sundin or not.

I don't remember him blasting him ever but I don't remember him praising him much either.

Hearing things at the draft probably.

Grammar checkers!

And Konency is going to fall before the Sens steal him at 21!

Don't see how Tallon would pick Connor over Meier. Meier is perfect position and skill wise.

Should I get my hopes up about getting Strome?

All of these mock drafts with the Canucks taking Carlo worry me.

Over Kylington, Bittner, and Harkins? Please no, Benning!

Pierre McGuire was hyping him this morning, says he reminds him of Scott Neidermyer.

Oh man that Jets D would be nasty

Enstrom- Myers
Hanifin- Trouba
Morrissey- Buff

I'd quit watching hockey if Lucic became a Hab

It feels like every older insider refuses to put Marner to the Leafs.

What're the knocks on Bittner?

[Lone_Prodigy]

Ottawa definitely won that trade, but what does their goalie situation look like going forward? An aging Anderson and Hammond?

I'm surprised the Sharks want to extend Bieksa but maybe their defence needs more snarl or something. Or maybe Wilson really likes old, slow, defencemen. Or maybe they just want to take Bieksa out back and beat him with a stanchion. Who knows.

Benning obviously likes Lucic with the Boston connection but we really don't need him.

 

[dem]

Sportsnet is actually covering day 2 of the draft? Nice

I want Patrice more.


Lucic and Gallagher on the same line.. That's Scary to think about

Thanks. I've always enjoyed watching Bittner play in the WHL, so I might carry a bit of a bias.

I think they have Matt 'Own Goal' O'Connor signed too.

Those poor sods. Hope you didn't expect too much from your AHL team Anaheim.

Also a bit late, but Ottawa easily won that Lehner deal.

Red Wings, by the way, have re-signed RFA Joakim Andersson to a one-year, $815,000 deal.

Hockey Rumours ‏@NHL_Trade 14m14 minutes ago
#Sens have HIGH interest in O'Reilly, #Avs are asking for a young D man. A future trade could possibly involve Cowen.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 10s10 seconds ago
NYR have been offered a 1st rounder for Talbot. Not from Oilers or Flames. Dallas, SJ and Florida still involved. 1st isn't a deal maker.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 5s5 seconds ago
NYR are looking for the best overall package, even though a 1st round pick for Talbot is attractive.

[aidan]

..

If Lehner and Talbot get a first, who's left that can afford a first for Lack?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

wut

Well then.

Murray says if any team needs a defenceman give him a call. #Sens

[MetatronM]

..

If it's a first from DAL, SJ, or FLA, that means it's one of:

9th
11th
12th

That's...pretty good. If it's ONLY the pick, that's a tough call. Talbot does need to be replaced, after all.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

Wow old man Murray embarrassed you guys. You guys ate up the self deprecating humor and he gets a 1st and dumps legwand.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Chiarelli is likely giving Murray a call right now.

Sens have moved Legwand salary, but Bryan Murray says they will not pursue a buyout on Colin Greening this week.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Oh right I forgot about O'Connor. Sens should be alright in the goalie department if he pans out.

If it's a first from DAL, SJ, or FLA, that means it's one of:

9th
11th
12th

That's...pretty good. If it's ONLY the pick, that's a tough call. Talbot does need to be replaced, after all.

I would take a 1st for Talbot in a heart beat.

Almost anyone can backup Lundqvist. All he needs is to play about 20 games and not be terrible.
