For you draft gurus out there, what site (s) do you guys go to for your prospect information?
- MatveiDmitrii

The hockey writers has compiled a ton of info available on guys. Hockeys future and Elite prospects has some sound info too.

Those sites and some YouTube searches will put you in good shape.

You know what's hilarious. By the time were ready to compete for the cup there will be another Edmonton dynasty in place to shove it up our ass again

that's not hilarious. this was my immediate thought when i saw that (frank)ing golden card. i'm not kidding. (frank) edmonton. they don't deserve poop. (frank) their "long suffering fan base".

4 #1 picks in the last 6 drafts. pluse a #3 and #7. let that sink in.

(frank) them.

i automatically worry for mcdavid's career trajectory simply due to the fact that he is going to edmonton. im sure hell be a monster, and now this will finally get them going, but its odd how i still for some reason automatically have doubts.

it's not odd, because of the history of the past 5 years specifically.

i would love it if he held out and forced a trade. love it.

i do think this is finally that generational talent that theyre getting though.

hall is a great player. but not top 5 guy in the league special.

nuge is a decent guy, but not a franchise player.

and yak is who the (frank) knows right now. something has to give.

Nah, he can stay in Edmonton. The last thing I need to see is him forcing a trade and being dealt to the Leafs or Devils or some poop.

he is. all of those other guys are nice players. i suspect they'll try to move one of them for d. they still need a goalie. this could be like a pens/lemieux situation where it takes them 7 years to win after he's drafted...

what do the devils have to offer that would even remotely interest edmonton? he's not ending up in toronto either.

it makes me sick to my stomach they have yet another #1 pick. and it's this (frank)ing guy.

it could. they have a slew of assets that they could move though. but they just need to be smart about it.

cant have pride in it, that would potentially prevent them from moving on from a guy already in the fold.

even guys like draisiatl should be in the mix. depending on how they play it, they could be really brewing in as little as 2 or 3 years, if mcdavid is what people expect out of the box.

Just examples. Let him do his thing in Edmonton. Next to Arizona it was probably the best place for him to end up other than here.

I'm sorry I failed you guys. I really had a good feeling

I still think MJL created Andrew macdonald

Think Berube will be a good coach in Edmonton?

i have very little faith they'll be able to mold this into a better team by moving the right package of players for other right players. we shall see. either way i'm still (frank)ing pissed about it. only consolation is he didn't end up in the east, specifically with boston or nj.

i would have much rather he ended up in arizona.

they weren't getting him. even if you personally rigged the machine to guarantee the flyers got him.

i wanted him in AZ.

and yeah. i dont know if i have faith in the brain trust to do it, sort of like amaro with the phils.

but with the proper direction, the asset pool is there for edmonton from which to build.

Like I said...I'm sorry

The main attribute I want for our pick is speed. If they aren't A+ skaters, don't want him. We need MOAR speed

That's one problem I have with Provorov.

Speed and some ability to snipe. That's definitely needed on this team.

A hockey trade or two to address this would also be eagerly welcomed by me.
