Remember two years ago at this time, when the collective thought was the defensive prospects for this team were a joke, at best?

I'm thrilled at this pick.

It one thing I've always stressed. Things change really fast in the NHL.

Dear god if he is even close to that were in for a fun time.

Provorov sanheim morin ghost hagg. Dear god what a defense

Button, usually has a good pulse on players. He usually doesn't go crazy over a single prospect. To hear him gush about Provorov and call him a legit #1 Dman is exciting.

wow san jose takes meier

Interesting jersey# provo was wearing....

We (frank)ing did it provorov!!!!!!

Can we trade up for Meier?
- mayorofangrytown

Not now.

i honestly hope he's ready to step right in without even preseason games
- Crimsoninja

I'd trade him, let's face it, his contract demands will be too high at some point.

What was it?

Now let's pick a forward with 29

so seriously...boston picks three in a row?

Damn you, San Jose.

I was totally ready to part with a Schenn, a Grossmann, the #31, and the franchise changing Zac Rinaldo for Meier.


*edit: or wherever we draft next.

so glad they got their guy without trading any prospects

We (frank)ing did it provorov!!!!!!
- Just5

Who do we take at 29?

Who was the dumb (frank) who said Meier wasn't a top ten pick and who was the asshat who gave him the thumbs up that day? world of morons!!!

I have never seen this board all happy at once

Really nice to see
- AllInForFlyers

Just wait till they take a goalie at 29.

What was it?
- Hextall271

15

Yeah, what can we do to make it happen? Suggestions?
- mayorofangrytown

Wasn't wrong in thinking Meier wouldn't have been a stretch at 7 if Provorov wasn't on the board

He wasn't a top 5 pick either, so calm down.

I was ok with us taking a forward but I really came around to provorov after reading about him and knowing how important it is to have that stud d. This guy might be it

I'd trade him, let's face it, his contract demands will be too high at some point.
- MJL

Especially with the way we overpay.

Could McDavid look anymore uncomfortable

lack of forward prospects in the cupboard is glaring

McDavids dad is like " so when did you say the first paycheck is?"
