the 2nd rounder was also pretty good... and can't complain about the 4th rounder
everything beyond that was rough
I used to agree until New Era started putting out their low profile 59fifty hats. They dont look giant and stupid like the regular ones. Theyre pretty great.
Backwards hats are so dumb.
2017 is a good time to evaluate the 2012 draft... not the 2017 draft.
I don't agree with that. 2017 is a good time to reap the rewards of the 2012 draft, but not the right time to evaluate it.
The draft may be a lottery, but you need to use your lottery tickets wisely to be successful, and it's easy to see when a team isn't doing that.
was the 4th rounder the goalie? meh...

I always look forward to these stories.
Hes getting traded for Seabrook.
Yeah... we need goalies. Now our primary issues is at center.
People put too much stock in statlines for goalies at draft.
Just look at matt murray.
Ewww no
LOOK AT HIM

Ah.. Seems I misunderstood. The prospects aren't nearly as neatly presented as they are on Hockey's Future sadly
There really isn't one page for it all

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Apparently the consensus among analysts is that Detroit had the worst draft by far.
Amazing that fans were calling for Holland to be fired 3 years ago and ownership just lets him keep running this team into the ground.

There's this article from last summer...
IT'S SPREADING. Mentioned before that I saw a guy with a Golden Knights t-shirt and baseball cap a couple of days ago in Montreal.
B-b-but Detroit has the best front office ever and are the kings of drafting unknown superstars.

Next time you hear somebody say that, tell them it isn't 2001 any more.

DiPietro looks like a good pick, but I'm surprised he dropped so low. There really isn't a lot of interest in drafting goalies.

Vegas home looks dull, but I really like the away jerseys.

Not Brannstrom but I like him more than the other 2.

Brannstrom, Liljegren, Valimaki, Foote would be my order.
Vegas killed it at the draft as far as I'm concerned. Hague, Brannstrom, Suzuki, Glass = cot dayum.
Very happy with Liljegren, but I also would have been content with Valimaki or Brannstrom.
Pretty much my feelings here

What the fuck are you doing, Lou? Christ. Good thing Calgary was dumber.

So Garth Snow chose two 2nds over a solid top 6 forward? Um i'm getting a whiff of bullshit here
the way i see it...
Liljegren is the most talented defenseman in the draft
Brannstrom is the most intelligent defenseman in the draft.
that isles reporter did say that JVR may have held up the deal with his NTC. might not be Garth's fault

I went sword on low stance against the big dudes and dodged a fuckload. Widdled them down to low health then switch to high stance to finish them off.
The low stance dodge is super quick and uses little stamina.
Make sure you get the skill that lets you ki pulse on a dodge.

You also do more damage from behind so dodge behind them well they wind up their big attacks and wail away. Elemental weapons help too. If they're slowed from cold or on fire they are easier to deal with. Draining their ki, again by wailing on them while they attack, will make their stamina bar flash red and they basically take double damage. Smash the oni's horn with an arrow/throw a rock to do this too.
Can't wait to look at this draft in a few years. Here's hoping Pettersson doesn't bust. 🤞
Not sure if it's been posted but the NHL made a very cool video about expansion throughout the years.

A mid to late first and JVR for Hamonic is an easy yes for the Leafs. Calgary isn't dumb, they have an incredible top 4 now.
Bottom 4 or top 4 eh? What if he's on the 2nd pairing, is that top 4 or bottom 4. My mind is blown. It's both *BOOM*
Steve Simmons is the most reliable of reporters. The guy that broke the hot dog Phil Kessel story, but had the location of where Kessel's condo was from the hot dog stand completely wrong.
that's what's known as an elite bottom 4 d-man
You can look back 5 years at a teams draft picks and grade based on how those players have panned out. It's more that I find these day after draft day hot takes completely silly.
Add in some high volume intangibles and you've got a stew cooking.

shadowkat is a loose cannon. We were playing Overwatch, when we won she said, "Hey why are we playing against AI?" Which rattled the opposite team, no respek for the game.
