2014 NHL Draft Thread

Those comments by randy about gardiner make me think two things. 1. Was Randy trying to throw some of the blame on gardiner to get his ass traded. Or will this endear Gardiner to the brain trust. ( some one who believes in his ability and didn't care what randy had to say.

We shall see. If he is used in a package to move up we'll have our answer

Randy is an old goat who will throw his players under the bus, note how he never once took any accountability for this teams embarassing season? Look at Torts, say what you want about the guy but he owned his part in Vancouver missing the playoff and did so without chucking shade at his team.
 
I'd leave that to the scouting staff to decide. If they feel that Bennett or Reinhart or Draisaitl will be legit top end centers, make the move.

Gardiners hot streak came at a good time. Could be a good time to sell high on a player.
 
Which makes for an interesting question... would you rather have:

Barkov and Ekblad

or

MacKinnon and Reinhart

When was the last time a price like that was paid to move up in a draft that has maybe 1 or 2 really good players? I'll wait.

Yeah I know, but if what I said wont do it there's no way in hell ****ing Franson is going to get it done.
 
I'm not avoiding it I know it hasnt been done lol I wasn't trying to say my suggestion would be what it takes to get done, i was more so pointing to LoF that his idea is silly and not plausible. (and neither is mine)

Franson isn't getting you nothing but a headache.

I've heard of him, and seen him play before. He's got potential to be a decent NHL'er, but I don't think he's gonna be elite either. The only guy I feel who's gonna be anything special is Ekblad, that's the guy the Leafs should make a pitch for with Florida, don't know what they would want... but worth a shot.

Bennett is hands down the best prospect that the Frontenacs have ever had (due partially to no one wanting to play there). Legitimate franchise centre potential.

There's a reason CSS has him #1.
 
A big "meh" to Buffalo's plight from me. Frankly, I think they should take the draft lottery a step farther, and give all 14 non-playoff teams an equal shot at the top pick. Take all the incentive and reward away from being a pitiful team.
 
I'd like to take a moment to bitch about the Devils not losing their pick this year.

Looking back, the only conceivable reason Lou didn't forfeit the pick after they made the Cup finals was he knew (or suspected, or hoped) that the ruling would be softened.

Even when the Devils break the rules they get off relatively scot free. ****ers.
