Wow, I'm really surprised with everything Hextall has done so far .... From the Hartnell trade until the 3rd pick.... Not judging good or bad ... but really surprising and questionable.

Whats questionable about the draft?

I agree about the Hartnell trade being questionable.

Well the change in gm hasn't affected the draft. Dunno if that's good or bad.

We've got a ridiculous amount of D men in the system now. It's going to be interesting to see the balancing act of bringing these guys along.

“We made our pick and got a call right away
- Feanor[from a team wanting] our guy for two picks,” said Ron Hextall.

I liked he held onto simmer. I like sanheim. I feel the same way overall though .... Surprised and unsure, good or bad?

Hawks trade Bolig to Calgary for the 83rd pick

Good move for the Hawks

Flyers continue to allow Umburger to be the focus of their offense.

A lot easier to come out on top when you're the team trading the d prospect

They took an undersized dman and forward in the 2nd and 3rd round. I think that's a change

After a 3-4 year ban, I have returned.

Boring draft last night to say the least. They normally are though, so really we get too fired up for something big by buying into rumors and are left disappointed when they never happen.

When I left, me and MJL were arguing over Randy Jones. I said resigning him was stupid because he's not an NHL dman. He said he obviously is an NHL dman and a decent 3rd pairing dman.

I'll let history speak for itself.

So mjl was sh$t stirring 3-4 years ago? Shocker.

MJL isnt even here today and you guys cant stop talking about him. He must be doing something right.

I think he's a normal guy and just (frank)ing with us all the time.

Does anyone have more insight on the Freidman kid? All I can look up are his stats and I don't want to make up my mind on numbers alone.

Bill gave him a 7 year deal. Full NMC. Fans want a trade. But nothing.

That is exactly what he is doing lol

Every time a kid tells me their favourite movie is Step Brothers and their favourite actress is Megan Fox, it really makes me worry about the future of our youth. Yes I'm talking to you Nicolas Aube-Kubel.

my grandmother died on xmas day. i'm jewish so i don't really care.

this was a horrible draft pool, everyone seems to be undersized, and needs 3-4 years to get bigger, lol.....never heard so many of the same evalutions for like every player taken.

the flyers cannot do anything till they trade vl...timp even said so.

well, they tried, but simmonds ruined everything.
