I thought Jero would have loved my post from earlier this week...
- Matt_Henderson

It stunk.

I like you Matt and you've been a real solid blogger for us but this thing you have with Mact and Petry is pissing a lot of us off. On here, Twitter and ON. Get over it or you will lose a lot of us. Clouts thought he was above it....he wasn't...we killed him off.

There's absolutely zero chance he goes at 1 or 2.

Beyond that, meh.
I'd me much more inclined towards hanifin.
But either way, we need to get better now. I'd trade the pick if we could. But again, beyond 1 or 3, it's worth a fraction of as much

The next Ethan Moreau?

Werenski looks like a real player too, and he's the youngest of the bunch. he won't even be 18 before the end of his first season at Michigan.... still 3-5 years away

I understand all of that, but I still just don't fully see it. To me, it's as if everyone see's him as the next Lucic.

However, I did only see him play at the WJC, he played GREAT, and fully agree he can do something at the pro level very soon, it's just the top 5 argument. But, depending in the team need, i can see the top 10 discussion.

- ChetManly

Me too.
I've only seen him for an extended period during the wjc's.
But he was great.
And for sure visions of Lucic and Backes starting getting the img animation going.
But there's only a few of those truly dominant top line face destroyers for a reason.

To be honest, if we don't get McEichel, the draft will only be interesting to see if we can swing a deal. Ill trusy svouting i guess. None of the prospects really interest me beyond those two because none of them can probably help much in the short term

He's sliding fast. He shot up after the world Jr's but now he's going 10-14 I bet.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Zacha.
- ChetManly

Think he falls to the same range.

He was rated 10-15 range before juniors. Then shot up. He's sliding down again. I would not be surprised if someone took him at 6 but also wouldn't be surprised to see him slip to 14-15.

All things being equal, me too.

I like hanifins game alot.
Can't say I know a ton about strome.
And i love Crouse. But that's based on a two week tourney

- Ihateallofu

Strome is essentially a pretty lanky two-way C with a similar approach to the game a Leon. The main difference is that Leon plays a heavier game more consistently as he doesn't have the same height to utilize in various situations as Strome.

Pretty much a taller mix of Leon and RNH. Not a mean streak worth mentioning.

We need to get Kevin Costner. He saved the Browns.

I never thought of the Backes comparison. That's a nice one to have.

I agree, outside of McEichel, lets get a big trade done to address the D.

This is a joke right? You aren't really arrogant enough to think he writes blogs to keep you, or that you ran clouts off?

I'm surprised they just haven't done us all the way of the Yman.

I mean, they tried, then it made things more difficult.

The words leon plays a 'heavier' game stood out. It's one of the assets he has that could be so vital to us going forward.
In that case, I stick with the centers we got and try and use the pick for an asset filling another need

can never have enough top end centres in the lineup, can be shifted to wing

That piece in particular received overwhelmingly positive reviews. I don't think everybody sees it like you do.
