Thank **** they missed

Could you imagine if they drafted Chabot, Barzel or Joel Eriksson Ek, Connor or Beauvillier or Boeser


They would have been set up for the future and now even if Bergeron retired

With all the misses they are gonna be heavily slowed down especially with Bergeron and Rask probs retiring soon. As we can already see the impact of losing Krejci.

Imagine this top 6 and top 4:

Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Connor-Barzal-Hall

Gryzelck-McAvoy
Chabot-Carlo

Heck lets say we tone it down and they took Eriksson Ek and Boeser

God line
Hall-Eriksson Ek-Boeser

Eriksson Ek basically replaces Krejci

Honestly anybody is better than a combination of DeBrusk, Zboril, and Senshyn. Aho was also taken in the second round along with guys like Kaprizov and Garland in the fifth round. 2015 draft was absolutely filthy and the bruins literally struck out

My puppy is currently doing predictions for each Flames game on Instagram. Go follow her at Penny_the_aussie_2021. There will also be cute photos of her

Also the fact that they lost the likes of prime Lucic and Dougie Hamilton in exchange to those picks.

What a waste.

Tyler Boucher…

Like my acceptable selections were Lucius, Sillinger, Wallstedt, Cossa, Svechkov, and Coronato (in that order). I would bet that all 6, along with probably the majority of the rest of the 1st round, end up better than Boucher. Boston got one 3rd liner from 3 picks, but at least they didn’t waste a top 10 pick…

Jim Benning’s “strong suit” was drafting but we busted hard with Jake Virtanen and Ollie Juolevi. Literally every defenceman drafted after him is better than Ollie Juolevi

There's a salary cap lol.

3 Stars of the Week:

1. Jack Hughes (NJD)
2. Jordan Kyrou (STL)
3. Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA)

This will be the first time a Devils player has been named 1st Star since Nico as a rookie in 2017-18. And the first time any Devils player has been named any Star of the Week since MacKenzie Blackwood in 2018-19.

First of many for hughes

Wouldn't mind the leafs claiming him to be honest.

It would be good depth. If he is with the right people can he put up the points he used too

What are your thoughts on the sabres trying to overpay for Cernak or Carlo? Maybe someone like Pesce?

Dylan Coughlan, Ethan Bear, Sean Durzi could be some cheaper options. I want defensive players to play next to Dahlin or Power. Jokiharju is our other top4 RDman. Sabres could also luck put and get Jiricek or Nemec.

Sabres won’t get Cernak, Carlo or Pesce, they’d all be untouchable right now you’d think, Coghlan probably won’t move because Vegas is in cap hell and needs those cheap players but Durzi or Bear I could see moving for the right price which may be a bit high for Buffalo. If you can get them for cheap go for it but if they’d be expensive, just continue the rebuild, you still have a couple years before contention anyways

Cernak would be a next season or 2023 off-season thing, same with Carlo. Sabres probably will have a LD and top 9 logjam at that point, they will know who they can move and afford to trade and give a significant amount for either of them.

what are the odds the Oilers fumble this year again.

because I really hope they dont waste another year.

get a goalie, get depth, go all in please. If they believe Smith/Kos/Skinner plus their current depth is winning a cup.
Were gonna see another prime Leon and Connor year wasted.

Oh yeah, the Oilers will waste another year with that defence and goaltending

Auston Matthews tested positive on a rapid test this morning.

And there you go 🤦‍♂️

Wait didn’t he test positive in 2020?

Yup, him and Steve Simmons got into it

Edit:
He took a rapid test today, it's possible it was a false positive. They are waiting on PCR results.
