Oh good, Connor McDavid stuff

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Oh good, Connor McDavid stuff

I heard he got drafted

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Locker room cancer Galchenyuk for dreamboat Patrick Sharp and hockey player Bryan Bickell.

Teuvo for Galchenyuk.

Bickell for Prust
/s

 

[Coldnoodle]

WOO

 

[Marvie_3]

Oh good, Connor McDavid stuff

As long as they don't show that Katz thing again I think we might survive.

 

[Cactus]

OMFG Calgary

 

[Yawnier]

Yay Bracco

 

[DopeyFish]

BRACCCCCOOOIIOOI

I am officially pleased with the draft

 

[Samyy]

Dopey's boy!

 

[Kave_Man]

So we drafted a bust then?

 

[yyzjohn]

Dopey got his man?

 

[Marvie_3]

Bickell for Galchenyuk.

Got rid of the unnecessary fluff in your proposal.

 

[Razorskin]

Dopey got his man!

 

[Curufinwe]

OMG a fucking puff piece on McDavid. NHLN sucks shit.

 

[Jblanks]

Flames added Dougie Hamilton, Rasmus Andersson and Oliver Kylington to their defense in the past 24 hours. That's insane.

Kylington just has to learn to play defence first.

 

[Calamari41]

Something tells me I'm going to be sick as shit of Connor McDavid sooner rather than later.

 

[Kifimbo]

Edmonton had 6 picks in the first three rounds. The only one left is McDavid.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Got rid of the unnecessary fluff in your proposal.

 

[zroid]

lol Dopey

man fuck the Flames though. they're doing everything right.

 

[Freyjadour]

This is the worst draft coverage. I'll just check what we didn't draft later because of stupid ass trades.

 

[Samyy]

Fuck Burke
This is probably all Treliving

That fat fuck and his cronies ruined us

 

[lamaroo]

As long as they don't show that Katz thing again I think we might survive.

I want to see the behind the scenes where McDavid practices his lines and nailing the emotions behind his performance.

 

[Razorskin]

Where was this Burke years ago?

 

[Coldnoodle]

OMG a fucking puff piece on McDavid. NHLN sucks shit.

:lol he really is the new Crosby.

 

[MetatronM]

Really sad to see Etem go, but he never advanced to level of consistency that we needed.

Pretty much my feelings on Hagelin.

Of all the pending RFAs on the team, Hagelin always seemed like he had to be the odd man out. Stepan had to be signed and is finally going to get his pay day, Fast and Miller are coming along nicely and need bridge deals, but Hagelin was already priced about where he ought to be and probably would have wanted a slight raise, and that money flat out doesn't exist.

Trading him is a bit of a surprise, though, and acquiring Etem in return is a pretty interesting get. So overall I like that trade quite a bit. Helps both teams, I think.


ON THE OTHER HAND...

Lehner goes for a first rounder and the best you can do for Talbot is FIFTY SEVEN? Right after we sent #59 packing? So basically NOTHING? I mean, I understand that Talbot isn't quite as sweet of a deal due to being older and not being signed beyond this season, but jesus christ, if that's the return you might as well hold him and try to dish him off to some desperate schlubs at the trade deadline.

And now we still need to find a backup. WTF Slats?

 

[Kave_Man]

Holy shit this draft stream is shit.

Picks happening and we have no clue.

 

[Curufinwe]

They are in commercial while the third round is going

 

[CreeperBlocks]

They are in commercial while the third round is going

what a bunch of scrubs

 

[Yawnier]

Have no idea who Andrew Nielson is

 

[yyzjohn]

It's OK guys McDavid brought a brand new member to NHL GAF named "dem"

 

[zroid]

just use the sbnation live updater

stream is garbage. what do you expect from nhl network though

 

[Coldnoodle]

Larry Brooks ‏@NYP_Brooksie 6m6 minutes ago
So NYR just under $58.1...Have about $13.3M to sign backup G, Stepan, Etem, Miller, Fast, add another F or two and a seventh D.

Give us Klein.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Martins Dzierkals?? Whose that Toronto?

 

[MetatronM]

I was too angry at the first trade that got us the 57th pick to even notice that we had since TRADED IT AWAY TO MOVE DOWN IN THE DRAFT.

 

[zroid]

yay we picked a Latvian!

 

[Curufinwe]

Felix Sandstrom (G) to the Flyers at 70

 

[jello44]

Flyers picked Felix "Darude" Sandstrom

 

[Coldnoodle]

Renaud Lavoie ‏@renlavoietva 11m11 minutes ago
#predators are trying sine a few weeks to trade Viktor Stalberg. It could happen. Maple Leafs a possibility but nothing confirmed yet.

Stalberg coming home maybe?

 

[Kave_Man]

Martins Dzierkals?? Whose that Toronto?

Dzierkals is an incredibly quick and energetic forward who plays the game at an unmatched tempo. He has a dynamic, electric skill-set that makes him incredibly tough to contain as a defender. Never stops moving his feet and can burn most defenders on the rush as he cuts down the wing. Quick stick and slick puckhandler gives him versatility to beat defenders down the middle. Size is a big question mark standing at 5’10, but continue to add lower body strength in order to protect the puck in tough situations at the next level. We was a force this season with Riga in the MHL and representing Latvia at the U18s and U20s.

 

[Razorskin]

Stalberg coming home maybe?

Manics' Swedish Darkhorse!

 

[Fata1moose]

Avs trade away ROR and McGinn, then get two Russians, a Finn, and 3 Quebecers.

Sounds Promising.

 

[Crazymoogle]

All of those riches for Lack

3+7 = zzz

Well at least he's not in the western conference

I guess back to Markstrom future

 

[Samyy]

Nielsen seems like a bad pick. Older and didn't really score.

Lethbridge sucked which is why he probably didn't score

 

[Marvie_3]

Manics' Swedish Darkhorse!

Which player was the low net drive player?

 

[lamaroo]

Seems like all of the good left handed defencemen are gone. We might have to settle for Nicolas "Freddie the Goat 2.0" Roy.

Actually Wotherspoon and Gilbert may be there, they could be alright.

 

[Razorskin]

Which player was the low net drive player?

Jason Blake.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Just dump Berra on someone for a last round pick. That's all this draft is missing.

 

[Red_Man]

Did we trade for Sharp yet?

 

[yyzjohn]

Leafs are trying to get as small as the Habs in one day. Don't draft anyone over 6 feet!
