<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LikeABoss</b></div><div>Yeah, there's a couple guys that I'd think they want to use 15 on if they were there.

There are some decent players that will be in the 25-40 pack also, so getting a couple picks in that range might be a good way to take more swings at "longer term" projects.</div></div>

There are some decent players in the late 1st, early 2nd round.. so many I like haha. Personally though for Detroit, I would stick with 15OA, and Walman in this scenario, as I believe Walman is better than Chychrun defensively, has an extra year, and will be much cheaper than Chychrun’s next contract. At #15, you could select one very good player, most likely a forward to play in that top 6. I understand wanting to delay a lot of prospects, since you have some good ones coming up, but if push comes to shove, you trade some of the worse ones off, and fit these better ones in.

Sujet: Marners buyout
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>I think Marner made the mistake of listening to fan and media reaction and negative reporting (mainly focused on him) and made that comment out of frustration towards the fans/media.

Honestly in the season exit interview, he should have just said he was still playing injured and his ankle wasn't 100% healed, obviously it's an excuse but at least a few of the fans and media would cut in some slack considering at least he played with an injury and not missed half the season with a tummy ache or headache like two other bums did.</div></div>

Absolutely! A lot of famous people let that stuff get to their head.. fans, media, fame etc. They will then say stuff they shouldn’t. I agree with you, it would be better to say that he was injured, but wanted to play. Say that you are gonna come out next year and give it 100% to win the cup. That’s all you can say. I haven’t watched, nor seen anything about this, but yeah it’s Toronto! A lot of fans are going to be passionate, and call you out if they don’t like what you are doing. That’s how it is playing in Canada in the NHL.
