Gleb has his own combine.

Check out the Avs roster. 13 first rounders. Pretty impressive.

he misspoke. he meant that we cant draft and play 20 first rounders. But thats kind of captain obvious too.

Great question. We struck out on Lindholm. Do we strike out on Forsberg? Yzerman has taken on zero risk with the former first rounders he has signed so far, but has also received next to zero reward. I would love to see us draft Jiricek, sign Forsberg, then completely throw all our games next year for Bedard. Vrana-Bedard-Forsberg Bertuzzi-Larkin-Raymond Berggren-Veleno-Fabri Soderblom-Rasmussen-Sundqvist Smith/Hirose Johansson-Seider Edvinsson-Hronek Walman-Lindstrom Wallinder Ned Cossa We are contenders with that line up.

Colorado has (13) 1st rounders out of (26) roster players. Youre absolutely 100% wrong on this. ALL winning teams build around their first round picks. This isnt 1989-91 with defecting Russian hall of famers going in the 4th round. In todays game, you got 3-5 picks that are surefire impact players, another 15 that are surefire NHL steadies, and then you enter the needle in a haystack range past pick 20. For every Bertuzzi that blossoms, there are 50 second rounders that wither and die. Just the way it is.

Yup. You have 9 positions on a team that need to be rock solid. Your first 2 lines and your first 3 defensemen. If your GM cant fill in the rest of the roster spots with UFAs and later round picks, then the GM is performing poorly. Vrana, Larkin, Raymond, Bertuzzi Edvinsson, Seider We are currently missing (3) pieces of that puzzle. The only way Yzerman can for sure fill one of those 9 spots in the upcoming draft is to somehow grab Jiricek. Wright and Jiricek are the only 2 guys right now that look ready for NHL duty at some point in the 22-23 season. Lets say we trade Zadina + 8oa for 4oa and we get Jiricek. Then we are a center and a wing away from the 9 rock solid spots. Sign Forsberg. Tank for Bedard. Rebuild over starting 23-24 season. Now all Yzerman needs to do is mold the bottom 6 and last 3 defensemen. His available players there are Veleno, Berggren, Rasmussen, Fabri, Sundqvist, Soderblom, Smith, Hronek, Lindstrom, Walman, Juolevi, Johansson, Wallinder.

i like guys like that

Im starting to Gleb, as well. Seider his ass, then Kucherov the shet out of him.

exactly

I think we are better off overpaying them in UFA whike we have cap space

Berggren seems to be legit

Seider the mfer

maybe we can trade up to nab him

word. https://sanjosehockeynow.com/san-jose-sharks-linus-oberg-ufa-free-agent-rights/ Sven, how do you feel about this guy?

His stock has risen. secret is out.

True.

are they Swedish?

Im sold on Savoie. I have him going at pick 6, tho. https://detroithockeynow.com/2022/05/31/red-wings-daily-detroit-prospect-cossa-is-whl-goalie-of-the-week/ Just crushing.

Jiricek is the guy

agreed. Holland is the biggest gravy trainer sports has ever seen.

If he doesnt get to a cup final with Edmonton, will you feel the same?

Holland just took all the credit for the work of others.

Jesper will be a has been soon

the pefect human is who you need to consider as the glue. Holland is a doofus.
