STAMKOS TO MONTREAL TRAIN STARTS NOW.

Who wants on?

Stop this

 

[HariKari]

Make that 5, I'm pretty sure Cosmic saw it coming

Not pissed. Not yet.

Will be mad if ownership guts the best prospect pool in the league to get Matthews.

Fresh joke, btw.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Stop this

No.

It will never stop.

 

[Merguson]

woooo

Your posts are too short to be any of mine when it comes to hatred of the Leafs.

I agree with your sentiments, but today is not the day for my expulsion of them here.

Spoiler

It'll be the next time the Jets and Leafs play.

Right. Because as your alt I need to type shorter to throw off any hint I am you.

 

[Red_Man]

woooo

Your face when you've "earned" the first overall pick

 

[DopeyFish]

Now to solve the biggest question

Who the fuck is going to be our goaltender

 

[yyzjohn]

[dr.rocktopus]

[ColdPizza]

Prepare for a tidal wave of this bullshit

Poor choice of words perhaps but I guess he was trying to say they had to put up with a miserable season to win it, which is understandable.

 

[User 479360]

Jays lose . Why do they, and especially Cecil, suck so much donkey ass?

But Jackie Redmond...wow.

 

[eyeless]

Oh word? The cup is just a card with a 1 on it now? Bettman does it again!

 

[Red_Man]

Is Chychrun projected to go around 9? He was the top ranked D for a while right?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Timmins draft him if that's the case, we don't have any decent D prospects in the junior levels outside of Juulsen right now.

I would absolutely be okay with drafting another Defenceman

 

[Spizz]

woooo

I'm going to frame this on a wall.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Loving Cherry's jacket

 

[Socreges]

That picture was snapped last week

Makes for a better narrative if we ignore that fact

 

[zroid]

I could watch those freak-out clips of Real Sports all night

 

[Syrinx]

So when the Canes pick at 13; I assume Matthews, Laine, Puljujarvi, Sergeychev, Jiolevi, Chychrun, Dubois, Tkachuk, and Nylander will be gone.

So my top 4 preferables:

1. Jost
2. Keller
3. Brown
4. McLeod

 

[DopeyFish]

Shanahan says he isn't going to announce who they intend to pick

Watch them draft Laine now lol

Assume oilers will forget to draft a defenseman again

 

[Red_Man]

His best qualities are being a "Heart & Soul" player? Guess I know who we're drafting

Assume oilers will forget to draft a defenseman again

Oilers really have no choice but to trade down at this point

 

[HariKari]

Logan Brown probably cracks the top 10 based on his recent performance. Solid draft.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Jost has RISPEK!

 

[Parch]

I think the Oilers are drafting Chychrun or Sergachev.
If somebody has a real hard on for Tkachuk, Nylander, or Dubois, then they'll listen to trade offers but it would probably be to drop down a few spots where one of those two are still available, or they trade the pick straight up for a good defenceman.
Either way, that #4 pick needs to turn into a defenceman.

 

[yyzjohn]

Shanahan says he isn't going to announce who they intend to pick

Any chance Leafs don't take Matthews?

 

[Samyy]

Jost is actually really good though

 

[Marvie_3]

Wait...the D stands for defenseman? We thought it meant "Don't pick this guy!"

 

[Fata1moose]

Sergachev to go along with Varlamov, Zadorov, Grigorenko and... No one else.

 

[DopeyFish]

Any chance Leafs don't take Matthews?

there is a chance. not a big chance because Nylander / Kadri.

The problem would be interesting if they were getting Stamkos as a UFA... at that point they'd have too many centers

 

[yyzjohn]

You're kidding right?

 

[Merguson]

based on like the last 10 years i'll take the too many centres problem right now

 

[Foggy]

Kadri's contract is VERY tradeable. It'd be madness if they pass on Matthews

 

[DopeyFish]

I'm saying nylander/Kadri as a weakness not strength fyi

because they're on smaller end.. that's why there isn't a big chance they skip matthews

 

[Red_Man]

Can't even tell if this is parody at this point or not

Jost is actually really good though

Is he? I don't know much about this draft class at all, now I know where we will likely draft I can start narrowing my focus

 

[ElephantShell]

Any chance Leafs don't take Matthews?

I don't think so. A team in the Leafs position can't pass up the opportunity to get a potential true #1 centre. A centre lineup of Matthews --> Nylander --> Kadri --> Whoever would be pretty deadly.

 

[Samyy]

JVR - Stamkos - Nylander
Komarov - Kadri - Marner
Brown - Matthews - Soshnikov


Look I solved the too many centres problem

 

[bonesmccoy]

Shanahan says he isn't going to announce who they intend to pick

Watch them draft Laine now lol

I don't think they consider it for a second, even if Laine is the better player. The club needs a 1C and Matthews is by far the best centre prospect in this draft. The wings are pretty well set with JVR, Nylander and Marner.

Assume oilers will forget to draft a defenseman again

That would be something. I could see them going for a forward if they move one of the 6 million dollar kids for some veteran D.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

i heard analysts say that Tyson Jost is very much like Jonathan Toews, which would be nice to have.

 

[DopeyFish]

speaking of centers

who wants tyler bozak

 

[Red_Man]

i heard analysts say that Tyson Jost is very much like Jonathan Toews, which would be nice to have. But I don't see anything about this guy.

Craig Button's opinion doesn't count

I'll just watch Jost highlights on YouTube. To judge for myself

[Samyy]

Go win a cup Kessel

 

[DopeyFish]

I don't even care about the Pittsburgh pick anymore lol

i do... just because we need goaltenders and defense

this draft is where the close up all our gaps in the system
