1 week from today things will be a lot clearer.

As long as we're drafting top 3 I think I'll be OK. But we have to get one of Lafreniere, Byfield, or Stutzle.

Good article($) on Johansson. A great deal of hype in it. https://theathletic.com/1877282/2020/06/18/red-wings-prospect-report-albert-johansson-plays-wise-hockey-in-shl/ “I just saw (them) together, and I saw Albert, and I told myself, Wow,” - Färjestad coach Pennerborn on Albert playing with Jonathan Blum “I think he’s going to be something very special,” - Jonathan Blum “I look at his legs and his body and he’s coming (along) really good. So that will not be an issue for the future.” - Coach Pennerborn regarding his size

Jack Quinn is the player I wish we owned a second 1st round pick for... If he somehow gets to 20, I hope Yzerman explores trading up to get him. I'd say there's no way he falls all the way to 32, but then remember Veleno was a top 15 talent that fell to 30... But yeah, it'll never happen. We get all night and day leading up to the 2nd round of the draft to discuss who the Wings should take...

At worst you're getting Byfield, Stutzle, or Rossi. I wouldn't get too upset.

F*** the haters, and their "odds" and "mathematics"... We're getting Lafreniere. 1st overall or bust *******!!!

No, but I wanted to remain positive.

In the span of about a month, I've gone from not caring about the lotto format to absolutely hating it. lol. I've also gone from thinking I won't be too disappointed with 3rd or 4th overall to realizing 3rd or 4th overall would crush me. To have the kind of season we just had and not even get Lafreniere or Byfield out of it...ugh. I'm trying really hard to not get my hopes up. But I want to believe. (ﾉಥДಥ)ﾉ

I am prepping for a worst case scenario i.e. 4th. Therefore when we get anything above 4 I can be super happy. If we get stuck @ 4 then I have already prepared so my day isn't ruined.

It's easy to go off topic when there's only a handful of people actually posting content. You can only post the same ideas, thoughts, and opinions so many times before things go stale and you start looking for other things to discuss. If more people participated in the conversation, it would bring entirely different points of view on existing topics of discussion, as well as creating entirely new thoughts of discussion that no one else has thought of bringing up. That would keep the content fresh and relevant to entire point of this website. tl;dr: If you don't participate in the conversation, you can't complain about what's discussed.

So your post now comes right after mine. I am assuming you were referring to all of the recent spamming and not me being back?
