Me too.  Just because he's Jagr.

Jagr or bust.

apparently you can tell me the name as a clue and I still wouldn't figure it out

Is this a name guessing game?

Canucks take a goalie named DiPietro. What can go wrong with that name ?

Not always about the supposed "better player" when drafting, especially in a weaker draft. It's how that said player will fit in with the system and culture.

I know that right now I am wishing that his name didn't have that extra n. 

Lol wait a minute so two different PP coaches, yet Blashill (who doesn't run the PP) is at fault. Rock solid logic. 
Statistically speaking Rasmussen is a PP specialist, and we're terrible on the PP. Holland picked a need. It's as simple as that, but if you're too bitter about "omg omg omg we passed on Vilardi" (who btw got passed by 5 other teams) to realize the logic behind the pick then that's your ignorance. 

With the abundance of "no hands" bottom six guys we've tried as net front presences, Rasmussen will be a big upgrade. 

Looks like he goes to the net, is impossible to move when he gets there, and thinks shoot first when he gets the puck. We could use more guys who think shoot first. 

Larkin AA
Rasmussen Mantha 
4 of top 6 at some point if all pans out well. Speed line and size line! 

I think Babcock might be the last coach I'd want as an offensive d-man  

Basically this. 
I like the pick.
Ya'll are cray. Sick of getting small wingers and skinny centers. We got added a dimension we lack. This league has turned into a special teams + dirty goals league. 

At least we didn't trade away Artemi Panarin for Saad.

I did say if it pans out well! Lol

Guys settle down, Rasmussen was the best talent available he's gonna be awesome

Wow, Vilardi dropping...could he reach us?

The good thing about possibly having a Howard/coreau tandem is we'll likely land 1st overall and holland will get fired 

If he gets claimed and turns out to be a top 5 goalie eventually for another team, f*** that will be hilarious. Eh Holland? ******* idiot. Zero chance Howard or Coreau is looked at, so expose your goalie with the highest potential. You think Vegas cares about his prior mess ups? He's 24. Already showed a lot of promise. Even if they don't keep him, he'll get them something better in a trade than any other unprotected player on the Wings will. McPhee had already talked about "cornering" the goalie market, and grabbing a few and getting assets for them. Mrazek is in that category. Nice knowin ya Petr. May you show what you can do and shove it up Holland's ass while Howard's hurt and Coreau has to start.

A young goalie like Mrazek is going to have spells where he may underperform...Kenny protected a guy 8 years older who gets injured every year stumbling and flopping around behind the net after a puck mishandle.  Bad asset management.
If you want to see how good a goalie is, check them out during the shootout.  Petr has some talent.  Not sure if it will ever fully materialize, but he is a more valuable asset at this point in his career than Jimmy Howard.

I can see us losing Mrazek for nothing and have Howard get hurt for a long stretch in probaly the 15th game of the season. Then they'll be stuck with Coreau in net with an unknown back-up. Probably lock in the best odds to get the first pick next year
 

This doesn't matter. Vegas will take best player available, and use some as trade chips after the draft. Mrazek is our best player available, and I'd be shocked if he's not taken.
This.

The only person on our list worth taking is petr! And just cause Holland couldn't swing a trade for him doesn't mean McPhee can't. If our goalies are safe why take the chance and just let Howard be unprotected cause there's less of a chance he taken over petr.
