amato

must've really liked him to reach with a couple more picks coming up real soon here. i like the flashy skill upside for sure.

texas?? that's not sweden....

THE SWEDES STRIKE AGAIN! big fan of that pick. feels like it has good upside.

damn, was kind of hoping Yan Kuznetsov would fall to us too. Still a couple good looking defensive prospects out there though.

bad internet connection for the Czechs or what?

must be a bunch of guys that we have in the same tier still left, so why not add another pick. i can dig it.

i'm thinking maybe Jan Mysak now? a center sounds nice.

Cannot believe the jets are actually looking to trade Laine... gotta be only for a deal they can't refuse right? damn, you're a little ahead of my stream haha. sad, was hoping he'd fall to us.

William Wallinder the Ballinder haha love it. Mobile defenseman at that size are a rarity for sure.

Aaaaand we're off! Let's go Stevie, make us stoked!

Hahaha I actually thought you were replying to me without quoting. Great timing

Was really hoping (but definitely not expecting) Hendrix Lapierre would fall to us, but I'm greedy when it comes to wings drafts. Noel Gunler or William Wallinder at 32 for me. I want offense as much as possible, whether it's a good shooter like Gunler or a guy who can transition to the offensive zone and make creative plays from the point like Wallinder. Go Swedish Mafia 2, i guess.

two trades, then all that... calgary really made a meal of it

how Swede it would be to be a playoff team again caps pick is going to end up being a steal some day, if he's past his injuries

Calgary out here collecting third rounders

think we might be going quantity with the 2nd and 3rd rounders based on these few drafts here... really hoping that William Wallinder falls to our second round pick off name alone

love the Raymond pick. In pros already, hope he's ready to make some noise by the 2021-22 season

I would agree, but Abby does feel more replaceable than Nielsen. Although not by a lot ha. And the cap hit isn't very much.. so that parts kind of whatever to me. I just hope this was for a specific reason rather than just a roster spot.

I don't think 30+ is too old for a player like Pietrangelo. And we have cap space to spare. I think he'd be an excellent leader for any young core of defensemen for a long time. Long term contracts are always a gamble to an extent, but he seems like the rare kind of guy to hit free agency that's worth the gamble, imo.

Alex Pietrangelo expected to test free agency? Stevie. Please. Please Stevie.

it'll be interesting to see who ottawa picks to trade away in a few years

Damn I know I've been gone a while but when did this turn into an essay forum NHL phase three of returning to play, which is training camp for playoff teams, is set for July 10th. We may have hockey back by late July

Personally, I feel like we're headed toward a summer playoff with some play in games or maybe best of 3/5 play in series for the bubble teams. Just a gut feeling. I think absolute worst case, they start playoffs when they can with the way the standings are now, but I imagine the league will want to give bubble teams a shot and a "play in week" or whatever marketing name nbc comes up with would also be an exciting way to give fans more playoff quality hockey to make up for the season games they missed.

As if the guy didn't have it bad enough.... positive AND plays on the sens? OOFtober fest.....

I agree it sounds silly. But it just says they're considering it as an alternate. I think it's more so to give the bubble teams a chance, since they should have more games to make their playoff push. A lot of this likely depends on when the league is able to resume.
