Saying he's as good as (or better than) Crosby is insane... Yes, Crosby was something like 100 days older at the time, but McDavid is nowhere near as good as Crosby. Crosby's game and numbers were out of this world.

And I didn't say McDavid wouldn't be successful... I'd imagine he'll still go #1 overall, I'm just saying he's overrated at this point (and he is). It's a classic case of the new shiny toy.

If Calgary still blows, and who are we kidding, in his draft year I hope they take him because we've been deprived of a first overall bust for like 8 years now.

I won't miss the losing but I liked it when we got the shinny new toys.

I doubt he'll be a bust, you Zorch.

I'm always serious when it come to (the) Belanger (triangle)

Dude, if he went to Calgary and just blows it, that would make my life.

Hall is going to be amazing...

Hall is good, but RNH will be better for sure...

RNH is good, but Yakupov will be better for sure...

Yakupov is good, but MacKinnon will be better for sure...

And repeat...

I doubt he'll be a bust, you Zorch.

They wouldn't take him anyway. They'd probably take some kid from US Highschool in Tennessee that no one has heard of because Feaster.

also had nothing to do with the point that you didn't watch either all year
- TheNugeIsHuge

Actually i had a heart attack in feb. so I watched a shiite tonne of games last year. Tavares led his team down the stretch into the playoffs. The Oilers on the other hand looked like they gave up.
Yes I am aware the Flyers sucked last year and yes Tavares also had a better year than Giroux.

Look at the bright side, you got to buy out bryz. So there's that.

One made the playoff one didn't. Even Hall would say Tavares had a better year.
- Marshalle

Based on last year Tavares is better. If he has another year this year like he did last he'll be considered an elite player in the NHL...and by elite I mean top 10 forward in the NHL.

again, you have nothing to say here since you tried to educate us on EDM's Jeff Schultz' D game

Valid point, sir!

I'd take JT. He plays center. Those are really hard to find that are actually good.

That sucks, man. Hope you're all good now.

Seemed like the oilers didn't care, but that had nothing to do with Hall.

Nah, Giroux was a PPG shooting at 9.5%(2.4% above career average). Tavares wasn't a PPG shooting at 17.3%(4.5% above career average)

Look at the bright side, you got to buy out bryz. So there's that.

Ya I don't get Holmgren sometimes, its like he thinks there isn't a salary cap or something. Hopefully Hextall is here to move Holmgren up to the boardroom to hang out with Clarke.

Sorry about your heart attack... Hope you're alright.

Hall played his heart out every shift though. It's not his fault that a number of players had lazy/sh1tty attitudes. Hall, Yakupov, Gagner, and Dubnyk seemed like the only ones who were giving it their all. Ebs and Nuge were injured, so I'll cut them some slack.

I'd take JT. He plays center. Those are really hard to find that are actually good.
- DTF69

Sarcasm? 14 of top 30 scorers are Cs. Hall 2nd in LW scoring

Not saying I wouldn't take JT. I'd flip a coin(slight lean to JT)

If I'm building a team I take the centre. Every time.

Ask Toronto and Buffalo and Calgary and Columbus and Dallas and Florida and Montreal and Nashville and New Jersey and Phoenix and St.Louis and Winnipeg how easy it is to find a #1 center. Then ask the rest of the teams in the league how easy it is to find guys to properly fill out the rest of their centre ice position.

That sucks, man. Hope you're all good now.

Ya i'm fine genetics (only 44) and my bar worker/owner lifestyle didn't mix to well. I really like Hall, and Tavares as well but Hall plays more of a style I like. I mean I am a Flyer fan.

ya. That's why I like RNH more than Hall. Aesthetically pleasing style of play. Older guys that like physicality would disagree with me. But I do recognize that as of now Hall>RNH, Yak, Eberle

RNH and Yak could become better than him. Only 19 and 20
