WHO?


I just remembered Don Sweeney is from St Stephen New Brunswick.

He's got too much Ganong Chocolate in his brain

 

[nubcake]

Lol Bruins, the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Samyy]

WHO

 

[lamaroo]

The real story of the draft is how the hell Lars Eller brought back a couple of second round picks..

Indeed. Shame we then gave up two second round picks for Shaw.

 

[GSG Flash]

Definitely nothing like Murray which I was afraid of

Still we draft another player with some hometown connection to Ottawa like before.

Well I don't think Murray was scared of Russians either in the beginning, but Bashkirov staying in Russia spooked him a bit. Too bad, because it cost us Tarasenko

 

[zroid]

WHO

Broons Gonna Broons

 

[DopeyFish]

dude isn't even projected to be in the first or second round lol

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

A project who's projected to be a 3rd line center and was meant to be picked 52nd.

Ahahaha.

 

[eyeless]

benning and sweeney are national treasures

 

[MetatronM]

dude isn't even projected to be in the first or second round lol

Button says he projects as a third line center.

Leave it to the Bruins to go hunting for bottom sixers in the first round.

 

[Red_Man]

The more I read about Sergachev, the happier I am with the pick. Knowing the Oilers were prepared to use a 4th pick on him instills confidence as well.

Edit: Lol Bruins

Yzerman says he would consider a sign-and-trade if he can't get Stamkos under contract. Would get him an asset, player an eight-year deal.



JVR or Bozak for Stamkos!

It's the Oilers though

 

[Yawnier]

Yeah that's a strange pick at this point. Should have just traded down, even if it is only 10 or 15 spots.

 

[nubcake]

Seems like a decent kid, let's hope he gets traded before Boston turns him into a goon.

[lamaroo]

Best name

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

HIS LAST NAME'S STEEL WHICH MEANS HE'S METAL WHICH MEANS HE'LL BE TOUGH

 

[CreeperBlocks]

SAM STEEL IS THE BEST FUCKING NAME

80s action star name

 

[BigJonsson]

The Ducks picked Sam Steel and Max Jones? They win the name game

 

[MetatronM]

Sam Steel sounds more like a name for the Valley than it does for Orange County.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sweeney could have traded for 48 and 52 from us and still got Frederic, and another guy.

What a nut case.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

I'm always keen to see how draft picks we acquire from player trades work out.

If Andersen is a blowout for the Leafs, and Steel becames Good As Heck then it'll be Rackell and Gibson for Tyler Biggs all over again.

 

[JABEE]

Seeing Carlyle is so surreal. No idea how that man is employed by an NHL team

He's employed by the same NHL team

I'd prefer bozak, but i think in this case he means picks or prospects

 

[BigJonsson]

Gauthier and Biggs!

 

[Samyy]

Lots of nice players left for #31
Hope its not Debrincat though

 

[DopeyFish]

Gauthier and Biggs!

We don't have biggs anymore lol

I'm starting to doubt stamkos is a good idea right now

 

[BigJonsson]

We don't have biggs anymore lol

I'm starting to doubt stamkos is a good idea right now

lol we don't?

 

[Yawnier]

Some good players at 31 tomorrow.

But I'm not really attached to that pick so if they trade down like last year I'm completely on board.

 

[zroid]

I think Leafs will trade down. Whole night to field offers from teams that have a guy they're targeting.

 

[DopeyFish]

lol we don't?

We got rid of him with kessel

 

[Red_Man]

Huh?

It's been reported the Oilers were going to take Sergachev at 4th until Columbus pulled the swerve

 

[Merguson]

So much drinking.. should I fap to the Leafs pick

 

[Yawnier]

Yeah and this tweet you posted here a little while back spooked the hell out of me:

@ryanfancey

Absurd stat: Every 31st overall pick from the last twenty years has 95 NHL points combined. Artem Chubarov is responsible for 58 of them.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

oh god I wish I was good at photoshop so I could make a MAX JONES and SAM STEEL 80s action movie poster

 

[Foggy]

Came home from the movies to see that my dog pulled my Oculus Rift off my computer desk and pissed all over it. Besides that, what'd I miss?

 

[zroid]

Yeah and this tweet you posted here a little while back spooked the hell out of me:

Heh I forgot about that. Meaningless but pretty weird. :lol

maybe teams tend to overthink it because they have a whole night to decide

A poignant statement on technology.

I think the Blue Jackets may have basically done the same thing while you were gone.

So much grit that you can't even quantify it

 

[Calamari41]

Get ready to see him underneath another Stanley Cup bro

 

[CreeperBlocks]

You know who Shaw Reminds me of?

Iggy from JOJO Part 3

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

*brofist*

 

[Red_Man]

Looking at the point totals which are almost similar, I can see why they moved Shaw in for Eller. He'll get in front of the net and cause havok, something that only Gallagher does and he actually has decent corsi numbers. The issue is the fact he played with Toews a lot, and it remains to be seen how he fairs away from an All Star line up. I'm not worried about the length of the contract, he's only 24 and the type of player GM's will trade for 3-4 years from now.
