Seider is one of the things that concerns me if we draft Lafreniere. If the big German comes charging towards him in practice, will the little Frenchie throw down his stick and run?

The "little Frenchie" is 6'1", 203lbs at the age of 18...

Also, why would the "big German" (2" taller) come charging at him in practice?

Odd question here...

What if the Wings get their $hit together, and end up sumthin like 27th, or 28th...Then like clockwork we drop back 2, or 3 spots in the lottery...Would Grand Master Y consider the Russian goalie?

I will get s*** on for this, but I would absolutely take the goalie. Shore up that position for the next 15 to 20 years.

The only real argument against this is YoUR'e nOt SuPpOSeD tO TAkE GoaLIeS iN ThE 1st

6'1" in hockey is like 5'11" in real life. By my standards, he's small.

And a pansy cause he's french, amirite?

I hope not. The only way I'd consider Askarov, is if we acquire another 1st and end up with a pick around 15th overall.

Talk about taking a swing for the fences...Could be a genius pick if he's a legend between the pipes, or a clusterf**k if he turns out to be the 2nd coming of Bryzgalov.

Another argument might be that you don't need elite goaltending to win a Cup so why waste that high of a pick?

He's a hockey player. No pansies allowed.

6'1" is 6'1". You're previous comment was dumb, but this one takes the cake...

Yep. They never embellish height or weight in professional sports.

So you're now saying that Lafreniere is listed at 6'1", but is really 5'11", and Seider is listed at 6'3", but really is what? 6'5"?

Ah true, I just see our depth: few high end forwards, and now a few high end Dmen too, and nothing on the way in terms of high end Gs

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from.  I just think it's so easy to find adequate goaltending through trade/ufa that I don't see why you'd ever bother taking one that high.  There's always a Murray/Fleury, Holtby/Grubaur, or UFA Lehner out there looking for a home.  Build a contender first and some goalie will be dying to play for you when you're ready to go all-in on a Cup.

I don't disagree, but I will find a way to if we draft Askarov

The Frenchie is listed as 6-1, 192. The Kaiser is listed as 6-4, 207. Seider is bigger now, and will be significantly bigger when both guys finish growing. Even if heights and weights are embellished to benefit the player (they are) that still means Seider is taller and heavier.

And my adjectives "big" and "little" were not literal. I was clearly referencing the military prowess of France and Germany during WW2.

You're arguing over nothing.

The Maginot Line would be a sick name for an all frenchie line

...Until Kaiser Seider blitz's them through the ardennes

If we plan on sticking to this whole WWII metaphor, wouldn't some American and Russian prospects come along later and kick the living f*ck out of the Nazi? 

Maybe we should trade high on Seider early, like right before Alamein (his NHL debut in this metaphor), because it'll only be downhill from there?

First we draft Lafren. He becomes Seider's Vichy French ally.

I often wonder what Canadians think of WW2... do you Leafs kinda feel shafted cause no one talks about your contribution to the commonwealth? Maybe I'm just living in an American bubble and Canada talks about it all the time?

What do we think of WW2? lol kind of question is that? 

I know that we are beloved in Europe because of our "contribution to the commonwealth". I also knew American backpackers that had sewn Canadian flag badges on their gear in order to get treated better over there while travelling. Cuz when someone from Belgium sees some fat f*** in a Red Sox hat with a goatee coming their way, they can only be from one of two countries. And they're all praying it's Canada.
