Hot-takes: Worst pick of the 1st round goes to ...
Peg for taking Stanley.

Habs fans on twitter are some of the most negative and pessimistic people ever, it's crazy. This is a trade for two bottom 6 guys and they act like we just traded Roy away.
It's not only his line mates, but the style of play Therrien enforces. I'm taking a wait and see approach with it, I don't think it makes us much better, but Eller ran out of runway here. Just pissed it took two seconds to get Shaw.

I quite like the look of Hanzal Venom and Griffin Powers though.

I figured they would be taken before we go again, but Brick Slabrock might get overlooked.

Heard he fell down a few rankings after the penalty minutes he racked up from flying an F-11 Jet straight into the goalie.

Which is bullshit, because there is nothing in the rulebook against that.

"Hard to play against"
"size"
"works hard"
"a lot of character"
"finishes every check"
"plays a hard game"
"consistent relentless effort"
"fits the Columbus Blue Jacket mold"

"fits the Columbus Blue Jacket mold"
Nothing quite like passing up a sure thing for a center who's only played barely half a season at center in his entire life. In the Q. Awesome. Can't wait for him to be the next Brandon Dubinsky. Cool guy drafted by a cool team.

*scans rulebook* checks out! AND it turns out it's legal to kidnap the opposing coaches daughter too!
Ah, that's why Bergevin had such a hard on for him.

Yeeeah, see, I see that name on more of a Twilight movie poster. Not really an 80s action movie poster. Not a good pick for the Ducks. Next.

Chichirun is literally a young Corey Perry
Habs EOTP has a nice write-up http://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2...aft-profile-2016-nhl-draft-prospects-rankings
If they're gonna use the pick, he seems like a good bet
Yeah, we need D and he absolutely shit on everyone in the CHL production wise
This guy has a decent chance of being the best D in the draft and fits the leafs skill setup

Nah he kinda looks like a young Steve Kerr, The Golden State Warriors Coach.

*groaaan* whooo caaaares about the nbaaa
Yeah. Everything you could ever want right there.
Brilliant, yeah. Devalue the consensus 3rd pick all the way up to the draft and only field offers from Edmonton. All Edmonton had to do was NOT give anything up and get an elite winger to add to their war chest of talent. Brilliant.

Yeah, what does he think he is? "Everything else in my life" or something?
How dare you speak about Papi like that!

All high draft picks get media trading so that the vultures don't pick them apart.
Auston is a joker off the ice. Real Good Show had an interview with a college player that trains with him offseason in Arizona and he says he's pretty much the first to crack a joke, and the first to be professional as hell.
*points to ice* yep that's ice alright!

Only the Blue Jackets could "win" a lottery and draft a guy that would've been in the exact same position as if they had not won the lottery. I pray Seth Jones gets offer sheeted and escapes this dumpster fire. It's not like ownership is going to approve any buyouts so every team should be ready and willing to offer sheet him.
Well, it's an interesting look-in at how deep these draft negotiations can go and how GMs manage them.
It's common knowledge that Calgary wanted to trade up for Puljujarvi and Edmonton liked Sergachev a lot. So when Treveling, Chiarelli and Kekalainen were talking three way deal, it's clear that the end-game would have been Calgary @ 3, Columbus @ 4 and Edmonton @ 6.
Calgary would have spent additional assets to get their guy, Columbus would have gotten their guy and something extra for dropping a spot and Edmonton would presumably add some picks to trade down into range for Sergachev.
But Chiarelli obviously sniffed out the same thing Elliott Friedman did: Columbus wanted Dubois. So why not sit tight and see if a special player drops to you.

Stamkos to the Avs because fuck reasoning.
(points, not goals)I feel like he'll land in Buffalo just because Tim Murray is an animal and has already shown his disposition to land big name players.
It's only been about 20 minutes but I can imagine that Detroit and Buffalo have probably already blown their brains out by offering him a deal at like $13M AAV
Well... even if you took away all his secondary assists... he'd still be the highest scoring defenseman on his team lol
i have heard some interviews where he's comfortable and less of the standard hockey robot
hnngggh look at dis beauty lads
leafs lads watch these and weep:
