I'd be cool with Tippett, Hague, Suzuki or Liljegren...in that order.

If Tippett is there along with Pettersson, Tippett would be the choice for what this team needs. Pettersson would be the status quo of Ken Holland. Sure he's drafted a lot of kids 6' to 6'3", but most of the ones that have made any showing in Detroit have been finesse players. Mantha is maybe the exception when it comes to that. But really even Mantha isn't as physical or as much as a power forward as Tippett. I really hope Holland gets Tippett. I want to believe that Holland wants to bring this team to the next step to compete with the bigger teams in the NHL. Not just draft a player just because he's a familiar type pick.

I don't know, I'm not sure who's good or bad when it comes to inside info...

Just saying that because Drouin is better than anyone we have to offer.

There goes our chances at a top defender...

2017) Owen Tippett

Nope, that'll be a Holland pick if it shakes out that way. My opinion, it'd be a waste to draft pettersson while Tippett is a still on the board. Holland says every year he wants to get bigger, draft kids that are tougher to play against, but in Holland fashion he'll draft a small finesse play that we have ZERO need for over the exact player he describes that we need...but until it's done, we can only hope Tippett is the next Red Wing drafted. Not some finesse kid just because he's is a typical Holland pick. I have faith that Holland will draft Tippett if he's there. I'm actually surprised they didn't slot us drafting Liljegren.

Moved along...I'm not the one(s) who keep bringing it up and quoting. We watch you do the same stuff every year, but under new usernames...

I hope that Tippett falls to us or if not, Holland takes Hague at 9. We've already established that this pick more than likely won't be in the NHL next season. Or trade back for a lower 1st and an extra 2nd and take Hague.

OK, ya, I'm now confused...what the heck is all that!?! They drafted Primeau 3rd overall in 1990 and Lapointe 10th in 91.

Nic Hague in the 1st round will make yall happier. I don't see Tippett falling to 9, but ya never know!

Great minds think alike!

The prices nowadays, probably too much than what we'd be comfortable with... Might be another lottery year next season.

How about trading the #9 in a package to ANA for Fowler?

You really want to derail another thread with your false rhetoric? Anyway, 9 is good..although they were showing Tippett as 4th ranked now. Have to hope for Hague.

Damn. Some teams got f***ed!!! NJ may have gotten #1, but Philly won moving up 11 spots. What are the odds that Kovy returns now?

Less than an hour!!!! Think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts!

Huh....still no evidence from that thread, eh? You aren't burning me, I called him Francine I do believe. Far, far, FAR from burning jerseys. You may as well stop the madness, your digging yourself deeper. I already said, I take my medicine when needed, if it was somewhere in the 57 pages, I'd take the hit, but you stated matter of fact that I blew a gasket after Game 4 round 1 2008...just admit it, you were wrong. I never said I've never had a fit of emotion, I admit I've had more than my share. But you remembered exactly when you started calling me out...but alas, I guess you didn't quite remember... I liked Franzia better than Francine.

Never happened. I was probably a bit emotional losing 2 in a row, reaching the thread a lot of people were in that GDT. But I didn't even post in it once, let alone act like a "knee-jerk cry baby" in that thread. Not one post before during or after the game. Let me know when you find it...there 57 pages to look through. You say you know it happened, but it's not there. Sucks when you're embarrassed doesn't it? I've been there, difference is I can admit when I'm wrong.

Nah...57 pages, looks like it didn't. I most definitely had some fits of emotion in my time...just not when you matter of factly said.

Real quick note, here are some draft picks that won't be signed before their deadline to sign.

The easiest picks will be 2 and 3. The #1 will be torn between Patrick and Hicshier. It's a toss up! If Wings get #1, which do you take? Only took me 12 times to get #1. I got a #2, two #3's, two #9's a 10 and the rest #8. Then I got another #1 in the next 5 tries. That's twice in 17....in about 40 tries, I got #1 three times...a lot of 2 and 3, but mostly 8 and 9. Looking at their mock, they have us at 7 taking Necas... http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=237071

More goaltender jive...

Of course I can't find the audio. It was a 97.1 interview with him this year and he mentioned that Suter wanted to come to Detroit, but his girlfriend didn't want to live here. Until I find it, it's just hearsay...
