What exactly is Runblad's pedigree?

Name me a player in this years draft that's projected to go in the lower second round that has rundblad skills

The Lightning just outwork everyone. They aren't flash, but they just get poop done.

And they will be adding that Stamkos guy back to the mix soon. They will be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

He's that dude with the leg thing goin on, right?

Coburn-???
Streit-Schenn
AndyMac-Grossman

Ideal pairings long term. Defense is better after today, but still need that top guy.

Coburn-AndyMac
Streit-Schenn

Top 4 moving forward next season. Mez likely dealt; hoping Grossman does too.

Name me a player in the low second round probably 55-60 range that has rundblads pedigree in this years draft
- PhillaBully

Well, none of them. They are all 17-18 years old. Rundblad is 23.

If you're trying to say 2nd rounders are insignificant, you're wrong. Plenty of good players get taken in the 2nd. Those picks can also be used to trade up or down in the draft.

All I'm saying is its too early to call this move a fleecing. I don't understand why thats even up for debate.

Anyone who saw Runblad in the Olympics knows. He was one of the better players in the Tourney.

He could be back for their next game.

I'd like to thank everyone for voting for me!

HEY DUDE WANNA BE IN MY SELFIE?!

I believe so. He's pretty good from what I understand.

What skills does Runblad have, that are so good that not a single defensive prospect that is a projected 2nd round pick, can match. What is Runblad's pedigree?

The skills of a 1st round pick from 5 years ago whose on his 4th team? There's probably a bunch of guys with that much "skill".

Skill means nothing if he can't crack an NHL roster.

He could be back for their next game.

The Lightning win the trade deadline.

Second rounders aren't insignificant and neither are third rounders. The guy has pooploads of potential though

Trade him and a 1st for Elder and Kessler

So does Ghost, Stolarz and Hagg. 2nd/3rd rounders.

Pardon?

Pardon?

I must have missed that game too

- PhillySportsGuy

You forgot to fix Elder too...

It does in my view. As we all know, I'm a Grossmann supporter. But it's about the mix.
- MJL

I love Grossman. Not sure whats with all the hate. Hell of a lot better than Schenn.

I'm slipping.

He wasn't even in the Olympics was he?

Excellent vision, passing abilities. Good size. He's defensive game is a work in progress! Kinda reminds me of buff

I'm slipping.

SLIP SLIIIIIIIIIIIDIN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I agree about the hate, but I'd disagree about being a hell of a lot better.
