Good call. I remember the Bertuzzi pick as well and the meltdown here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I. Give. Up.

Because not every team has what you are asking for is my point. Once again, let the guys running the team make those choices. We are just fans sitting behind a computer thinking we know. Holland has been successful for 20 years and believe me it wasn't because of us. Let the guy do his job without picking apart every single thing he does. Imagine you go to work and everything you do someone criticizes you for? Gets annoying right? I am not Holland but it annoys me when I read some of the nonsense on here most days. This is why I mostly stick to HF when it comes to drafting and FA, everything else for this site.

Name me 5 teams that have both. I don't even know what this means..

Please do provide insight on Pottelberghe. I would love to see what scouting report you have. I have seen Paterson and Perry both play a lot, they aren't very good.

Do we want to win now or draft hopefuls ?

Yea, no other team would take Nyquist, Tatar, Pulks, Sheahan. What scrubs.

Except for the fact we don't need a goalie right now but we need defensemen.

Do you know how asset management works? You deal in a position of surplus. We have way too many forwards, someone is going to be traded.

If McCollum is our backup in the NHL we are screwed. Plain and simple.

Yea, because we can't trade any of our forwards for defensemen... Pretty sure you are just trolling at this point?

I am really surprised this is a post from you. McCollum is most likely not going to re-sign here. Paterson and Perry are not good enough and once Howard is gone and Mrazek is our starter down the road we have absolutely no one unless we start using assets on a goalie which I don't want to happen. Defensemen that is comparable to Vatanen and is faster then Darren Helm. Yea I have 0 issues with that pick.

People on here pretend to have inside info or something, it's quite hilarious. Holland and co deal with real data that we only wish we had access to.

People still questioning Holland's decisions from there home couches. Never change LGW.

Damn really wanted Connor to fall to us.

What is Boston doing? Passing on Barzal and Connor ?

Great pick by Philly. Provorov is gonna be realgud.

Holland probably shows up an hour after the draft starts every single year for the last 20 years.

Probably a payoff for Jurassic World. I legit lol'd when I heard it come on though.

I would expect Leafs take Marner over Hanifan. They have zero centers in their pipeline.

No they say he will be skating in August.

Exactly what has Subban done for someone to say he's a future franchise goaltender. When he played for Belleville I watched him play and he really isn't that good. Put it this way, if he is a #1 goalie for your team you are in trouble.

I agree with everything you said but Green currently makes 6.25 million. I don't see him taking a paycut.

I'd be willing to bet he choose the Wings over either of those teams. Contrary to belief, Thorton actually wants to win a cup and not be labelled as a guy that couldn't get it done when it mattered. He's an elite talent and deserves to win a cup before he goes.

And by the time Datsyuk and Z retire who knows who they could have drafted by then or signed in FA. What if Mantha turns out better then Draisaitl because there is no proof he will be a number one center either. He's just as unknown as Mantha at this point.
