robb himself

I am actually really happy with this draft.
 
I think we really made large strides in improving our D moving forward.
I am a huge fan of the Seider pick. I think he is going to turn out to be a stud.
Pair him with Cholowski and put McIsaac with Hronek and we have a super solid top 4 going forward.
 
Tuomisto and Johansson could end up in the mix for roster spots down the road as well.
The Berglund and Moore have filled our D cupboard and have size and potential.
 
 
As for the forwards I am a HUGE fan of the Grewe pick (models his game after Marchand).
Mastrosimone seems to be a slick player as well that I have high hopes for.
Soderblom looks like a beast.
Adding Phillips and Tyutyayev add more depth at F in our system.
 
And finally, adding Gylander ( a 6'5" goalie) is never a bad thing to do.
 
 
Just my 2 cents.
 
 
Cheers

Wow.  I have seen you spew a lot of nonsense before but this post might be the worst yet.
 
I disagree with this entirely.  You always try to win and do your best.  
 
With your logic the team might as well skate down into their own end and put the puck in their own net.
 
Just ridiculous.
 
 

I watched Hirose play for the Salmon Arm Silver Backs a few years ago and he definitely left an impression.
This should prove to be an underrated signing down the road.

Crikey that is one gongshow of a line up.  Tank Level 1000

Columbus brought in Kinkaid from NJ
 
I think that's the only one though

I had the pleasure of watching Bowey play here in Kelowna through his junior career and I can tell you we are getting one hell of a good d man.
He has all the tools to be a high end offensive d man given the right partner.  
Getting Bowey and a 2nd round pick is a home run for Holland.

I get what your saying but, sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try. 
The other teams are just simply...better.
I also believe Blashill is trying his hardest to get the team to win (that's what they are hired for and would be sent packing if he wasn't) and I don't think any of us on here can really judge decisions he has made because we have no idea what is happening at practice and behind closed doors.  Is Blashill the right man to lead this team into the future? Maybe not. But to question whether or not hes trying his best is just ridiculous.

But does he look Mantha in the eyes after every shift and ask him if gave 180%?
If not he should be fired

This is one of his businesses, YES it's about money for him (shocking i know). He's not running some fan boy charity for your pleasure or his.
Right now he has to weather the storm that is being a rebuilding team. Rebuilding is good for his long term out look (in theory) but the reality is hes hemmoraging fans who are willing to spend money on his brand, AND hes losing market share. What hes doing may turn out to be incredibly business savy, or may backfire completely. One things for certain is hes not sitting back on his ass like a deadbeat owner.
Sports are business. If you dont understand that you need to go back to the kids table. 
Thank you.
The drum beating to tear down and rebuild has been rampant since 2012. And now that we are finally deep in the s*** everyones suddenly surprised we are not winning hockey games. THIS is what you wanted.
Welcome to Nam nancy boys. Get used to it. Rebuilding is hell.
You honestly dont think Blash is trying his best? You think he just phones it in and doesnt care about his job at all? 
Heres another question for you: Blashill has been praised up n down begining in 2014 for his ability to develop and work with young players. Operating under that premise, and the fact that we are in a youth driven rebuild, why wouldnt you want him coaching this team? By all description hes the perfect coach to lead a youth rebuild. Or is he simply not asking his players "if they tried their darndest" enough for you?

People...we are in a rebuild.  
 
I know this is hard to swallow but teams in full fledged rebuild do not win many games.
It will be a few more years before we start to become a contender again.
I don't know why so many of you are not getting this.

I made the pilgrimage a couple years ago to see The Joe in its last season and really enjoyed the Anchor Bar and the Detroit Beer Co.
