2023 Draft and UFA Thread

[Habsy]

One game is clearly enough to determine when you know everything.

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

I will file my scouting report on him here after I see him play in person on Tuesday night. That should be the decider for HuGo.

have your son take him out

have your son take him out

It can't hurt to try. Tell him to go Dutch though, you don't want to look desperate.

Omg. Post of the season.

Great, cause we’ll just miss as we’ll end up 7th, 8th or even 9th with these scrubs winning games

Barlow is a huge addition to the team

 

[lecoqsportif]

What happened to Schwarzenegger?

He fell off the top 15 list? He’ll be back.

 

[hairnova]

We must be on a different points system than the rest of the league because every time we win a game, we're jumping four spots in the standings apparently.

 

[Krustchev]

No. 2, Will Smith, our future 1B center.

 

[Krustchev]

Will just scored a sick goal on a toe drag.

 

[Krustchev]

If I had to pick an NHL comparable for Will Smith, based on the one game I’ve now seen him play, it’s probably Bo Horvat.

 

[Stinky]

Horvat?
Want better.

 

[Stinky]

Sale is still high on Button s list.

 

[Krustchev]

Horvat?
Want better.

I was referring to his style of play, size . . . for a center. Horvat is a very good player. Smith does not have Cooley’s motor or speed. But he’s good.

I would be very happy with a player like Horvat if that was our pick.

 

[GGpX]

Did you notice Gabe Perreault?

 

[Krustchev]

Did you notice Gabe Perreault?

Yeah he’s good. The whole team is good. Hutson’s bro is excellent too. Skates just like him.

Eisenman , who’s an ‘06, is ridiculous. He’s a Caufield with size. I’d tank for him next season.
