Yes usually he is kicking some tires but that's about it. Man I can't believe this ufa class doesn't have one home run signing Franson will be an extremely rich man after July 1

Whatever Holland has done to that form of himself he needs to bring it back at that time he wasn't just the best GM in the game, he was miles ahead of everyone else. And of course this team was much more exciting and entertaining to watch

Thanks yeah forget about that possibility too I mean this would set a very bad precedent. The Kings are legally obliged to pay him for the remaining years of his contract period. But man I just looked it up if they buy him out his the penalty would amount to 4,5 annually in the last two years wow.

I don't understand Sweeney's plan at all he trades away a tough hombre in Loooch and then trades a 3rd rounder for Zac Rinaldo who by all accounts is not a Lucic. He is more of an agitator that takes really stupid penalties, sure he will fight but more often than not he will do something really stupid. Should have used it on McLaren he would have come cheaper, is a more feared fighter and doesn't take stupid penalties. As far as LA is concerned this will never fly, yeah they can try it but man Richards will hire an army of lawyers and this will end quickly in him winning.

So very well deserved for nick, was hoping all day he would make it as a first ballot so glad he did. God do I ever miss this guy, go hurry up and coach your kids

Who wouldn't? This is the first time these people are speaking in front of such a big crowd with all the media, friends and family that's not an easy task. If I were one of them I'd prefer to just go to the team, then get my schedule and be done with it. I mean these kids just got drafted their minds are still trying to realize all this so I'm sure they aren't focused on doing useless interviews.

Yup but not 1/2 my pc is probably bigger than this kid lol

Yeah and others don't? The only guys who get net a legit top pairing guy are Larkin and Mantha, that's why other teams are only asking for them.

Also lol at the Penguins for drafting that kid with attitude problems. JR is a very special gm lol

So wings needed a center and a defenseman they've got 1/2 of a defender and still no center.. Holland just can't help himself with picking undersized guys

It's not like most of these kids are going to step right I mean even the best player in the whole draft isn't sure if he will make the oilers.I think McKenzie once said that most kids after round 2 are at least 3 years away that's why I would have prefered a safer pick someone who at least can be used as a physical force these boom or bust types are too risky, given the stage of the current team

Brown is actually shocking I don't know if it's his style of play him not committing to the required fitness level or whatever but it's almost sad how he looks out there compared to a few years ago when he was a hitting machine that also scored points. Yeah should have bought out Richards that one was a big mistake and I think Voynov is done not only with the Kings but also in the US. Send this animal back to Russia I mean the Kings should be allowed to good his contract

I just wish there would be one draft where the Wings are fully focused on size just one. It's nice that we are finally drafting bigger kids but the defense needs to be a tougher to play against

Leafs are going from one if not the toughest team to an undersized skill one...Can't believe their picks someone should tell Hunter that Babcock likes players that can hang on to the puck. Wtf a 5,9 defender? Wtf

Yeah the Kings are tough but they like the blues are also very skilled but at some point Lombardi needs to get some young legs into that organization. That being said Looooch will fit in perfectly in LA and Boston basically lost the face of their franchise and a franchise d man in one day lol

So the oilers paid less for a better goalie than Buffalo did,I don't understand why they didn't just wait?

The pitchforks are at full force in Boston rightfully so even the new CEO Charlie Jacobs is getting his share wow. Some are speculating that this might be a nice towards an internal budget without announcing it. They are comparing their new GM to the likes of Milburry which might be pushing it but man that's bad. Wonder if Bergeron and Krejci would be available too. Lucic will cash in next year no matter what something around 7x7 which is a bit high. Buffalo is scary their rebuild is coming along, insane center depth but defense and goaltending need some work. See avs that's what you get for playing it cheap with such a great center RoR will for sure get an 56 mill offer from Pegula. Not happy with the Wings pick, Detroit needed a defender and failing that a center not another winger .

that's almost Calgary jankowski bad lol

Chara for a fourth round pick, Bergeron for Chicago's first in 2016 and then I want a video of their reaction. Sabres getting Ror and Eichel is great but the Lehner trade is bad. They could have had Talbot for that price tag

Yeah their economy is bad but the khl is still owned by some otherworldly rich oil guys and they'll pay a premium for their local players. Wouldn't shock me at all if we'll never see Provornov coming over.Trading your best defender going forward and then the heart and soul of your franchise is just wow..Boston fans are furious as they should be. Neely should be focusing on the business side I mean he is not the GM nor a scout Lol at the Leafs passing on Hanifin Reilly, Hanifin would have been a scary top pairing now they have an undersized center and no too pairing of they decide to try trade Phaneuf

The scary thing is Sweeney has a scout background and their picks are so bad it's not even funny Bruins essentially traded Seguin and Hamilton for Debrusk and Zboril lol that's so bad...how does Neilly not nix this deal or Charlie not stepping in, this almost you are fired bad. Would have given them a first, Nyquist and AA for DH27 Treliving robbed Boston lol Hate that Werenski went at 8 kid is the second best defender in the whole draft lol at the flyers picking Provornov guess they like people playing in the khl what a waste When will gms learn not to pick Russians ? It's like losing a first for nothing if things aren't going their way they'll just take their puck and go to the khl

What a bad trade Bruins are becoming softer and worse on the defense. The Hamilton trade is almost as bad as the Seguin one and then they've also traded a true power forward in Lucic wow Sweeney. Kings not only become even tougher but also more feared..But yeah, some like to kick tires while others are getting blockbusters done

Lol Sweeney is a moron, trading Hamilton - their best defenseman - and Lucic and then reach some questionable picks lol

Ror wants out and I don't blame him. Avs wanted to low ball him since forever and now he t has a chance to finally get paid and appreciated by his new team.

fix the defense and play a heavier type of game. IF the Wings want to go with the young guns, don't add stop gaps and gun for a better pick.
