The most Swedish Swede who ever Sweded. You can't teach 6'5". You can't teach sitting on Brad Marchand and literally breaking his back because you're 6'5". Yzermadman strikes again.

COPE POST: I'm guessing Team Yzerman feels Eklund is a winger. In which case, he's a tiny playmaking winger. In which case, if you're the Wings, maybe you say, "F*** that, we're solving our D issues for the next 12 years with this pick. Left-handed Seider. Let's go. Get rekt."

G'night, Lefty!

Mickey Mouse, as always.

I'll take it! Playing against our D is going to be a miserable experience. That's exactly what I was thinking lol

HOLY S*** THEY TOOK JOHNSON

It's gonna suck if we miss Eklund by one spot.

(That wasn't sarcasm.)

WHOOOOAAAA FIRST SURPRISE OF THE NIGHT

The year is 2036. The Ducks are still on the clock.

Imagine if we signed Mrazek.

It's the opposite for me; win something and I give you some room to talk s***t.

If Eichel goes to the Rangers, that fanbase is going to hit levels of insufferable that we've never seen before.

I wouldn't mind adding him. He doesn't put up a whole lot of points, but I think that changes if he isn't put in a super-defensive role.

GMs are the stupidest people in the world.

I really, really like Giroux as a comparable for McTavish.

That's fair. Certainly it wasn't the season any of us had hoped for. I'm a broken record on this point, but I really do think an inability to find That Goal when we really need it is what's kicking our asses right now. And I think that's a "good" thing in the sense that scoring problems are to be expected. Losing a ton of close games is more or less where we should be, realistically. Now we start adding high-end kids like Seider and Raymond and giving them better veterans to work with (e.g. Leddy).

Honestly, my only concern with Edvinsson is that he's basically a Seider type. Which sounds like reasonable concern...until you give it about three seconds of actual thought...and start fapping yourself raw over the thought of having a Seider on each of your top-four pairings. I can very easily envision Edvinsson being there at 6OA and us taking him. He's the definition of an Yzerman defenseman. He shoots left. He's Swedish. He has pro experience. Could be our guy.

It sounds like cope, and I've no time for cope – but, yeah, I do think us not being historically bad for a second straight season is progress. Despite an absolute s***-ton of injuries and a s*** roster (even before the injuries), we were reasonably competitive most nights. Granted, the goaltending had A LOT to do with that. But here's my thing: If I can say, "Give this team a functional power play and we might be able to sneak into the playoffs," then I'm more or less ok with where we're at. I maintain that our impossibly inept power play is making us look like a bigger clown car act than we actually are.

Yeah, those are my three for 6OA. I'll gladly accept anyone, though. Hell, no one here likes Edvinsson all that much – but the dude could easily end up being the best NHLer this draft produces.

Leddy - Larkin - Hronek Seider - Seider Mrazek

Wallstans eternally BTFO

Ned & Seider are not going to allow a single goal against next season.

DBOSS MAFIA STRIKES AGAIN

So, like, unless I'm mistaken...Nedeljkovic is very much a possible long-term 1G. Yes? So...all the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing we've been doing re: Our Very Serious Goalie Problem...we can now turn around and say, "Oh, cool, that'll work. Problem solved." Yes? If so, that's pretty great. I hate talking about goalies. Goalies are stupid. I wanna talk about skaters.
