Drew a Penalty Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Seems like a missed opportunity for Seattle, or the rest of the league just wasn't willing to play ball with the exhorbitant prices like they were for Vegas. Both. Francis said that teams weren’t willing to overpay the way they did with Vegas but he really isn’t in a position where he can only accept fleecing. They have nowhere near the assets that Vegas had. They could’ve at least tried to go for some picks to build up their farm early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The only unknown of this process is how they are going to manage incorporating Kurt Cobain in this whole thing They'll fire a draft pick out of a shotgun? No one has. Because he was in the Starbucks bathroom. Lol my God Shawn Kemp has ate three too many point guards Here are the finalists for the "Ozzy Quote of the GDT"!! Yes, it's been a while but I was sure there would be a few zingers tonight. .....And the winner for tonight's contest goes to Keirik for pointing out how Shawn Kemp has now become his own zip code!! :rofl: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The broadcast was brutal. NHL can’t help but be boring Seattle seems like they intentionally didn’t pick anyone good. Maybe we will learn more at 1:00 today but holy crap they missed some opportunities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Looking at the roster, it's pretty pitiful. Jarnkrok - Gourde - Eberle Appleton - McCann - Donskoi Tanev - Bastian - Blackwell Twarynski - BLANK - Pitlick Dunn - Larsson Giordano - Oleksiak Soucy - Fluery/Lauzon Driedger Vanacek The forwards are absolutely abysmal. Why not take Johansen or Duchene from Nashville? Take Jake Bean instead of Morgan Geekie from Carolina, then swap Will Borgen for either Zemgus Girgensons or Cody Eakin? Picking Gavin Bayreuther instead of Max Domi? Could've picked Carey Price from Montreal and gotten a forward from Florida like Vatrano or Wennberg instead of Driedger. I would've done this completely differently. Mind boggling the direction they went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've done this completely differently. Mind boggling the direction they went. I get avoiding Price, Johansen, and Duchene. Massive deals, longer term, extremely questionable talent (or at least in Price's case...I don't want a 33 year old goalie signed to that ticket coming off hip surgery). I don't understand how they've managed to completely avoid left wings. I do not, for the life of me, understand Twarynski over literally all the other options in Philly (JVR, Voracek, even Ghostbear). I don't get CBJ at all - sure, avoid Domi if you want, but Stenlund or Carlsson make more sense. I don't get MTL aside from wanting to unite the Fleury brothers. I really do not understand LA - Kurtis MacDermid is an objectively terrible hockey player and Blake Lizzotte was right there. Chicago too - they took a UFA they won't sign over Zadorov or DeHann (each of whom has objective value in a flip deal) or Connolly (who isn't awesome, but could slot right in). I'm expecting most of these decisions had side-deals that will come out in 2 hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Could be the owners not wanting to spend. Seattle could be another Ottawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
