And Kane and bogosian are on the ice for it.

And stafford steals armias stick off the bench?

Nashville won that trade holy Hell

Is it a secret?

I secretly would prefer Chychrun

You could get him 3rd or 4th overall now

How great is it that we probably got the best D man in 2013?

Pretty great. I love how the oilers took Nurse at 7 too

Have you ever seen the beyond blue and gold on it?
Buffalo was on pins and needles waiting to get him the entire 1--7 picks.

..also great scouting by the cats on barkov imo could be a kopitar type

Is It wrong that I have a Risto boner?

Could you imagine if we were able to pull off getting Domi?

Granted who knows if we would have end up getting O'Reilly

Depends on what you do with it I suppose.

I was also gonna bring this up. We thought so highly of Risto we were actually afraid Nashville was gonna take him instead of Jones.

Columbus is so good at drafting but trash at developing those players they've ruined so many promising players

I thought about that a lot. I think the most underrated part of ROR will be the matchup breaker it creates to free up Eichel. Similar to the toews/kane deal. Kanes amazing don't get me wrong but he's given twice the chances with toews battling against guys like weber, suter, Peitro etc.

Everyone knew Nashville was going to take him remember this is the same guy that everyone said was going to go first overall to 2nd and then he went forth

This is the number one reason why I will never draft a defenseman 1st or 2nd overall I don't care they take too long to develop and you only hit on a special one sometimes

It will look even better when we get him a D partner worthy of that ice time.

What if was just everyone's expectations of them. And they really didn't have it in them?

Ufa or trade I would take a defenseman in the second round but he won't be ready for four years so it's better to trade for one

Aaron Ekblad is an all-star already.

I honestly think they rushed to many players and they're not patient enough look jakub Voracek I know he's having a bad year but he's a great winger when on his game .. ...

Aaron Ekblad is an all-star already.

I said at the end special ones they're rare

Good point




So is John Scott

Every one can get a Chychrun boner but I wouldn't draft him second overall or 3rd his stock has been dropping and that Max Jones goal wow that was just bad

The only reason why I'm watching this year

NHL wins again no one watches the All Star Game you put John Scott in and of course we're going to watch so their ratings go up

Bottom line ... It's up there pretty damn high.
