    Small sample size... any player can have a good run over a short term, and this doesn't even meet that standard. It's a hell of a lot closer than a Bergeron comparison...

    I've not been proven wrong... and I stand by that assessment 100% Are you @krsmith17 in disguise or just a psycho sycophant? You surely mean a 2C forced into a 1C role... on a terrible team having a down year.

    Dylan Larkin's comments on ASG Last Man In voting...

    But why wouldn't Bergeron 2.0 be a lock for the ASG?

    Once he's well and truly bested he'll criticize your spelling. I've been there it's quite satisfying.

    I think McIsaac is a top 4 guy in the right situation. Probably the defensive yin to his partners' offensive yang.

    Depending on our draft position it may make alot of sense to trade him. Especially if say we have 1st or 2nd overall and another team that barely missed the playoffs lottos up to 2nd or 3rd. Maybe trading Larkin for that pick plus something and rebooting the rebuild would make sense.

    2020 Draft Thread

    Notice though how it's always a random low odds team(s) that move up into the top 2/3... I wonder if that's a quirk of tankathon or if that's legit statistically? That being said I've long believed the Draft Lotto is rigged... still do... otherwise it would be done live and out in the open. That said the story of the last 6-12 months actually works in our favor... think about it: 1. Once proud franchise. CHECK 2. Long time GM who lost pace with the times fired. CHECK 3. New GM is a highly regarded former player coming back home. CHECK 4. The team is legit aweful. CHECK 5. The franchise is a highly valuable original six team. CHECK 6. The narrative of redemption and renewal is made for TV. CHECK

    Are you 12? Stop using my material and get your own. Comrie is back on waivers by the Jets, looks like the ball is in our court.

    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    @ChristopherReevesLegs have @krsmith17 tell you the one about Larkin being the second coming of Bergeron if you want a good laugh.

    So I'm the one making a ridiculous comparison... and you, you bring up Bergeron! You're out to lunch I feel good for you that you have an ink blot to validate your ludicrous POV.

    Layoff the spiked eggnog and bologna... it's making you see things that aren't there b'ye. He has all the tools to be a Jordan Stahl.

    I was not "going nuts for Larkin" last season... he's OUR 1C, but he ISN'T a 1C on a good team. He's a premier 2C nothing more... Veleno and Ras have to convert potential to play... I like both as prospects but they aren't roster players let alone significant pieces as of now.

    I couldn't disagree more... Larkin is a 1C if/when you really don't have a true 1C. If we had another one or two of him (a premier 2C) then that's a different story. I really think if Larkin is our 1C at the end of this rebuild we'll be nothing more than a second tier contender. This is why if I was making the choice I'd take Byfield and sign the best available winger in FA. But.of course this is all opinion and speculation, we'll know what we should have done by 2030.
