I hope this draft sucks. won't be picking until the 3rd at a minimum it seems 

From what I have heard on podcasts its not a very strong one.  I think what I heard was from 10 until the 40s or 50s are all interchangeable meh players.

It's not too much. Stop being salty and looking for reasons to piss on Drury. It's a good piece of business. 

 

I'm looking at prices today and that's expensive for a 30 point center. You're just looking for reasons to praise him.

I hope I’m wrong on Wennberg. I like it, don’t love it. He seems middling on both sides of the puck. 

The offense hasn't been there, but he's playing first line minutes against the other teams top players and doing a good job of shutting them down.

They had to pay for 50% retention.

 

I don't need to look for reasons why this is a good move. It's a good move.

Fine...it's more than I thought, but next year's drat isn't supposed to be very deep, so a 2nd rounder is like a 3rd rounder..  The 4th in '25 is balls.  I could give a fuck about that!

I guess we’ll see here. It’s an upgrade on Brodzinski. I wonder if he now moves back to wing on a potential 4th line? Lots of moving parts on that line right now. Have to imagine your 3rd line is Cuylle-Wennberg-Kakko.

Who sits as a result?

Most likely Rempe. I could see them rotating him and Edstrom depending on the opponent and the chance of shenanigans.

That's the crappy part. You're gunna sit Jonny Brodz and that's dumb. Making him the 4th line center is dumb. I just dislike this altogether. Our third line gelled with Kakko and the fourth had chutzpah with the two towers. We needed a RW and got a meh center to F up team chemistry.

The team is better right now than it was an hour ago. 

That’s exactly how I view this. I could care less about the picks. This team’s window is closing rapidly. All in this year. Could be the last real strong push.

Depends on if they make any more moves, but I would think Rempe & Edstrom if they get a top 6 RW.

Agree barring injury I believe you're right.

Dom Loosechicken is already tracking shenanigans/60

Agee with Pete's take.. The two big boys will probably be rotating taking nights off depending on who we play.

Goodrow caused this. He’s been that uninspiring on both ends.

Middling is still better than gliding, we already have one of that...😉

Drury bout to pay a 1st for Vatrano.

 

Wennberg/Vatrano would be his idea of going all in.

Addressing third line center and first line right wing with a third line center and a first line right wing... Not sure what the complaints are about.

Mystery box value assessments of draft picks.

 

This is a 10-player draft in which we will, at best, hold like...26 and 58. Chalk this one up as a "who fucking cares" in my book.

  • Bullseye 3
