Can you NOT jinx us for the second round, please???

[amato 3,210]

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

We picked the guy people said was gonna bust.  Great

Who said this? Real question as I don't know much about our pick.

[kickazz 5,459]

I wanted entertainment on this board, been waiting for it for months now.

Ken Holland has delivered.

Thank you.

Nobody does, they pretend to because we didn't pick Viliardi. 

[LeftWinger 4,934]

We start the season with the team we have now I might watch one game to see how crappy they are and be done with it. The way I feel right now I have no faith in Holland. How can you go into the draft wanting one thing and come out with another. Vilardi was a slam dunk. Holland would have screwed up the first pick overall.

Yes I'm very angry

[amato 3,210]

Was hoping Hague would be there when we pick in the second but it's looking less likely with how many d-men keep getting picked..

He hasn't been called the most likely to be a bust, just a boom or bust prospect. Couple of in depth profiles:

He's a natural goal scorer, but struggled to put up numbers at 5on5. Whether you're skeptical, or laughing at fans who are, we'll all know who's right in 4 or 5 years time when we see him at the NHL level.

[DickieDunn 2,571]

He has had the benefit of hiding behind a youth movement for years, where doing nothing is somehow looked at as the proper thing to do. He recently mentioned changes over the next 3,6,9 months making the team better, its like if he waits long enough things will just naturally get better. Every deadline, every chance to make upgrades go slowly by with never a word from him. What the hell is Chris thinking watching this idiot?

He's waiting for nudie magazine day and trying to escort the giant penguin back to the zoo

The #1 guy in the 1st round I’d stay away from is Michael Rasmussen…Big guys who score at the rate Rasmussen does at 5v5 don’t work out. pic.twitter.com/B4aHKQ7d0I — Zac Urback (@Zac_Urback) April 19, 2017

Being here and watching the game or two different things

I'm on the road now just inform me when someone dressed The Hague. I have no faith that even if he was there in the second round that Holland would take him.

Good, I'll advise you on how well we are doing. Trust me.

[LeftWinger 4,934]

Of course I meant drafts not dressed. Speech recognition problems.

I'm not bashing him as much as I am bashing Holland. I was hoping 4 tippet. But when Vilardi fell into our laps it was a slam dunk.
