Pskov Wings Fan 71 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 PS: Rodger Ebert basically begged his readers not to watch Transformers 2, apparently it's the movie equivalent of getting raped. First one was not very good to begin with. Now talking about getting raped, go see "Crank: High Voltage". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakKy 58 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 I love these jokes about Detroit. MVP with pick in the 70's... you heard it on TSN first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 That deal was useless, and this draft has been a bum. Pronger has been the only thing all day. If Pittsburgh takes Landon Ferraro I swear to god... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pskov Wings Fan 71 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 I guess Detroit really did not want to pick Ashton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Motown4013 350 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Why doubt the VERY BEST last round draft team in NHL history...I mean, Zetty, Pavel, Lids, Homer...need I say more. The second round is early for the Wings. They probably have some unknown prospect who no one has ever seen skate besides the Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Or a draft thats comparable to 2003. But whatever. This. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swayze 81 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Anyone else pissed they watched the whole damn thing just to see Detroit trade their pick? (yes it was a smart move, but we better get Rajala out of this) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Or a draft thats comparable to 2003. But whatever. Nah, this one is pretty weak... You can tell the strength of a draft class by how many players (usually numbers 1-15 on the rankings) have more "pros" then "cons" in the scouts analysis. This year the ones with more pros then cons only lasted through #8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Carter Ashton is pretty much the worst name ever. I either want to Ashton Kutcher or Anson Carter. It sounds like everyone is referring to him as "Carter, Ashton" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 If Ferraro is still there going into tommorow, then I dont really care about any of these other kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Again, Nill has been quoted as saying that there is little to give between #15-#35 in terms of prospect talent. It's obvious that the Wings value a #32 pick as much as a #29. Plus they get an extra 2nd rounder. I have absolutely no problem with this. The only thing that's annoying is that we have to wait until tomorrow before the Wings take their first skater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rage 24 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 I guess it's not that bad of a trade. We only go from the 29th to the 32nd and we also get 75th. Tampa really wanted Ashton. And they just got him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P. Marlowe 748 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 That's a good trade. Almost a free third rounder. Some teams have s***ty scouting so they can give away their late round picks. Quite funny that all the wait and then this happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 Damn..... would have liked to see Carter Ashton or Landon Ferraro... I can't even watch tomorrow ahh there goes Ashton... too bad but meh can't really complain I guess 3 spots for a 4th rounder... 3rd rounder, but yeah. Seems dumb. Except I trust the Red Wings scouts more than the scouts of any other team in the league. If they traded down it's because they know they can afford to move down to 32nd without losing their man. And apparently they believe in this kid so much that they're willing to skip a guy who was projected to go in the top 20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sureWhyNot 19 Report post Posted June 27, 2009 2003 was the deepest talent pool we have seen in a while, or at least comparible to the deepest. This year looks nothing like the 2003 draft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
