The guy was projected to go 4th overall for the better part of a year.

That's like saying Sam Reinhart will be just like Max Reinhart.

I guess man, Marcus has shown promise, some scoring and hitting some walls. I think my point is valid.

The dude sucks. Reason why he fell. Numerous scouting reports say he is afraid to take a check. He was hyped when he was 16 years old. Players that regress in their draft year is not a good sign

His defensive game somehow got worse with age. It's actually quite remarkable

He was playing against men.

There is no such thing as a bust at pick 60

What to do here line wise:

Kane ROR Ennis
Moulson Eichel Reinhart
McGinn Girgensons Gionta
Foligno Legwand Larsson

That leaves Deslauriers who I really like, McCormick, Hodgson

Time to move Foligno plus plus for Yandle

Buy out Hodgson

Sign Oduya

Risto Bogo
Yandle Oduya
Gorges Pysyk
Weber

Lehner
Johnson

10th place finish next season

Playoffs the year after

He is not nor ever will be his brother.


If not for his last name, no one would care if he were moved.

I run two dynasty leagues for hockey, one is in its 5th year, the other is a friends and family going into its first offseason. I tried last year to put one together with HockeyBuzzers, but didn't get enough interest.

If anyone is interested in doing one, please PM me, looking for 10, maybe 12 teams.

William Borgen with the 92. He was the 2nd biggest riser in the draft, rising over 80 spots since mid term. Avg rank right around 95. Simple, responsible defenseman. I like that Murray's replenishing the D pipeline. Smart.

I think your belief in Marcus is valid. Your argument for why he could be a good player isn't, in my opinion.

Nick's success is because of playing with Ryan Johansen. Otherwise he'd be a 50-point winger. Which isn't bad, but playing with first-line talent bumped up his numbers, not because his dad is Mike Foligno.

Exactly what I wanted to happen. Our core Forwards all young, still 5-6 young forwards in the ranks. Draft D and hope to hit. This is a pick I like. Don't kniw the player but I like guys that turn it on in draft year. Hope that he keeps getting better too

So we should call Marcus, "Flounder" now? I'm onboard.
