I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd say this but I actually feel sorry for Boston fans, today was absolutely BRUTAL for Boston. LMFAO Boston

He's so damn good he broke his own ankles this time.

So I must really be missing something. Svechnikov is an awesome pick at 19th overall. Big. Raw. Fast. Elite skill. And a great demeanour (watch some interviews). There should be way more partying going on here.

Nonono frank.The first pick was questionable, the other two were just bad. On another note. Did anyone else find the commentary on svechnikov amusing? "He could play In the NHL next season." "But this is Detroit, so hell be going to grand rapids." "He's not eligible to play in the a, so hell be back with his team." "Hardy had her, herrr." "NnnmmmmDerrrppp." "But let's bring it back to Connor Mcdavid, now here's the same three highlights of him we've been playing over and over since its seemingly the only pieces of film we can get on him."

Holy s***. This thread just wrinkled my brain. I am way too drunk for this commentary on grammar s*** right now.

He tried to neuter Dekeyser, and it wasn't even his first time. That's more than enough for me.

Glad you know what real watermelon laffy taffy is

Holland is sticking with the kids. he said it again tonight. I doubt any trades happen. Maybe a plug in Dman for another year. Now for the pick itself. I thought we would go with a F but thought Ek-Ericksson would be the guy. But Svechnikov is a great pick. Our future top line is Svechnikov-Larkin-Mantha. That is awesome! By the time they all make it all should be 6-2+ and 200+. The only negative is they are all LHed. This could be a 100+ goal per season line!

I'm fairly certain he knows the difference, forum posting (especially via phone) lends to simple errors.

Yay, a Russian and not a Swede for once.

Wow I didn't know all 50 Panther fans could make that much noise.

Just curious. Now that McDavid's been selected and the Leafs picked their guy, does tsn stop covering the draft?

Cod.Compulsive obsessive dishors d'ouevre. Eh? Ehhh? And I seriously would be fine with mantha for myers, especially now that we have svech.

Just forget the grammar guys.... why do you care? It's a forum... on hockey... from people who are in different parts of the world where English might not be the first language. And again, it's a forum.... people here aren't writing, nor do they care to write, for Grammar Nazi magazine. Let's talk hockey. I find the forum for this years draft to be lacking seriously. Where in the hell is the excitement, speculation, and rumors? Holland is going to hard after Green in UFA.... Wings also have so much forward depth they could use some prospects in a trade to get a top D. And if they don't, this team is going to be exciting to watch (more than it is now) with a lines like these: Svechnikov - Larkin - Mantha Athanasiou - Turgeon - Pulkkinen I know, there will be current players like Tatar and Nyquist that will factor into these lines, but it's still exciting to think about. Now stop being so cranky and discuss the draft!

Same names for the 73rd pick to watch: Jason Bell 6-2/190 LHed D Keegan Kolesar 6-2/220 Rhed RW Thomas Schemitsch 6-3/200 Rhed D Maxim Tretiak 6-3/200 LHed G

Eff him right in his stupid face jimmy

Well at least we never pick Swedes in the first round, we make good round 5-7 steals

Well said! Lucic is more like a tanker truck full of vinegar IMHO

I absolutely love Pierre McGuire's commentary. Screw everybody who doesn't.

"The Edmonton oilers have such a historic history." Historys kind of historic.

I still call BS Edmonton has had all these #1 picks.

No s***. Just take the guy to arbitration, get him signed to a reasonable bridge deal, and shed whatever salary (Chara, Lucic, Eriksson) necessary to keep him around. I don't really get it either. They hamstrung themselves on the return the minute the chose to move him as opposed to a half dozen other cap killers on their s***ty roster. On the plus side, somewhere in Beantown Jack Edwards is rocking back and forth while crying gently to himself.

So in the final analysis, Boston traded Phil Kessel for two first round picks, drafted Seguin and Hamilton with said picks, and then traded each of them? It's not often that a blockbuster trade takes place and one team ends up with NONE of the primary pieces of the trade. That takes some effort.

Some would even say "very, very......"
