So just because I like Star Wars. Got it

I don't know how anybody can not like that movie it was a masterpiece..

I grew up watching the prequels so I finally got the taste of the real thing

You need to watch godfather 1&2, Outlaw Josie Wales; Slingblade; Jeremiah Johnson; one Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Cool Hand Luke; Taxi Driver; Little Miss Sunshine; Love Actually; Bill Murrays last flick with Melissa McCarthy.

Then you will redefine MASTERPIECE.

If anyone is watching the intermission, where they walked down the line fiving people, well, ROR clearly has the best vision on the team.

Kane went high and wide, and three fans walked right around Bogosian.

Weber tripped one

Risto held back on Chara because of how old Chara is.

He is so old, he is grandfathered into the no visor waive.

Hedman and Doughty. Nuff said.

And he's not special like those I'm talking about special defenseman how about those nice defense that you thought were going to be the best ever and ended up you know just average..

Erik Johnson,Thomas Hickey, Luke Schenn,Zach Bogosian,
Erik Gudbranson,Adam Larsson,Ryan Murray,Mathew Dumba Derrick Pouliot,Griffin Reinhart,Seth Jones,

You can disagree all you want but taking defenseman top 5 is suicide better chance finding one in the second round and there's been plenty All Stars in the second round

Drafting defence is almost as tricky as drafting goalies. Still think its worth the risk of drafting high.
Also Gudbranson and Larsson are solid defenders. Offence isn't always the best defence. Its also a bit early to judge Jones, Reinhart, Murray or Dumba as disappointments.

Alan Rickman.

Such a great movie. And the cast is just absurd. I definitely say "just in cases" fairly frequently.

Have you been to one of the kids games? I have he is going to be a good one. Plus he already has powerful slap shot even for the NHL.

Me neither. Scoring forwards is a need to win.

Agreed .. people will say we need a OEL that's great and all but it's a huge risk to take your highest pick that you suffered through all year on a defensive that might take 5 years to develop to be that person or just be a complete bust

Even with OEL Last year Phoenix was terrible why are they good this year because of the young centers and wingers their offense is very exciting

I'm not going to debate with you because all this is just going to get in fights with you your boys going to be dropping like a Seth Jones depends what team wants to draft defenseman that's how it's going to be

Girgensons is an injury prone player. Not sure why people on here think he deserves over 4 million a year on a long term deal. Too much for a player like him

Arizona is doing well yes, but I can't help but feel that they are this years fluke team (Calgary last year, Colorado the year before).

They're solid defensemen but they're not the defenseman that you should be getting with top five pick. do you agree? drafting in the second round you get those players

it's not worth it when you could draft the same exact player in the second round or even greater

The past has nothing to do with future players. It's like saying you can't ever draft a wing #1 overall because nail Yakupov was a bust there. If a guys good he's good and you take them. Florida isn't sad because they took ekblad #1.

It could be a fluke but they are getting offense from all the rookies Plus OEL is playing like the way he did last year great hockey they seem to be firing on all cylinders.

. it's sad but true but maybe they're better than the Oilers, Sabres and that's just sucks but it's our life lollipop

Not Exactly there's usually just one or two players that are special every three years or so for defenseman or even rare in top 5

If you look at the past drafts you can get All Star defenseman in the late rounds and second round picks that's a better way of drafting
