FFS. Hamilton would be the 1D over both PK Subban and Shea F'n Weber?

- ChetManly


He would be top pairing with Weber over Yosi yes, he would be paired with Soubhan yes,
he would be paired with Johnson yes! He would be paired with Suter at the moment, yes!

Nuge, Forsberg, MacKinnon, Bjugstad maybe?? All top line C's right now but not #1's

#1C's are hard to come by..... only way to get them is through the draft.

Seguin is a true #1

- nanook82


I see what your are saying, but seguin is playing right wing with Spezza as his center

They've been moving Spezza up and down, but Seguin put up points like crazy last year and led a Dallas team along with Benn and a bad d to the playoffs, something Nuge and Hall have yet to do...

Would you like me to help? There appears to be a lot of "hind-sight" within this thread, every knucklehead and his brother can do that. Here's a hind-sight list of the players they should of taken in the 1st and 2nd rounds LOL??

2007 - Logan Couture, Max Pacioretty & PK Subban
2008 - Jordan Eberle
2009 - Ryan O'Rielly & Robin Lehner
2010 - Tyler Seguin
2011 - Gabriel Landeskog
2012 - Jacob Trouba
2013 - Nichushkin
2014 - Draisaitl

Landeskog Couture Patches
Hall ROR Nichushkin

- LeftCoaster


Fixed.

Soooo......now you are changing "Hamilton is a 1D" to "Hamilton is a top pairing Dman".

And you begin the circle of dumb all over again.

Also, who are Yosi and Soubhan?

What do you do for work up there? What are the big money companies that have the majority of employment?

Majority Government up here. But Mining is the big industry.

No, the hindsight is how we haven't focused on dmen at all and have only drafted forwards for the past 10 years.
- ChetManly


Isn't that why the Oilers are where they are at!? Which dmen that the Oilers have drafted since 07 would be considered a top pairing guy on any other team right now with the exception of Buffalo and maybe Florida?

Except that he WOULD BE THE #1 Dman on the Oilers right now which was the whole point of the discussion from the get go.

- nanook82

I bet pay must be pretty solid. What exactly do you do with the mines?

How is the housing up there too? I'm not fmailiar with anything up there, but I'm guessing a lot of places are fly-in/fly-out unless you are in the major city?

oh, I'm sorry, I didn't end my sarcasm font.

Also, you are proving your point on being challenged by refusing to acknowledge the FACTS that have been provided to you.

Yes but look what he did for both Parise and Pominville. The team was floundering with koivu at the top spot and Granlund led them to the playoffs. So we was their bonafide #1 and that line has once again creaked havoc for other teams this year... When has Nuge ever taken the reigns so to speak? Hall does his thing regardless of whether Nuge is next to him or not... and they cant even find a fit for the other side on that top line...
- mnhockeyguy

Yeah Parise and Pomminville were slugs before they met Granlund.

We really deserve a higher quality of troll on these threads, instead we get this know nothing Jabroni.

Almost half the employees are from the south. Lots from Edmonton, BC, and the rest from the East Coast.

The surrounding communities from where I'm from fly direct to the mine. But the main hub is Yellowknife.

Housing is ridiculous up here. Possibly a lil lower than Ft. Mac.

Property taxes high, fuel costs high, food prices high but I love it here.

And oh yeah, the pay is top notch

That's awesome! I've seen reports about how much food can cost up there. I guess there's a reason why pretty much everyone up there hunts!
