Nothing worst than high hopes getting crushed.

Don't have to worry about that on this thread.

Bergevin's philosophy is to build through the draft, but it's very hard to achieve when you pick 25th-27th in the first round year after year.

Galchenyuk was the best 25th-27th pick ive ever seen

If they do decide to dress Weal, I would sure hope that Hak has enough brain not to use him like Chief used Akeson last season, that's for damned sure.

Maybe he will take Gagner's current spot at 2LW if Gagner is traded?

Raffl-Laughton-Read has the makings of a real 3rd line. Hopefully Hak sticks with it for a while.

I hope you're prepared for that line to get the least minutes on the team

yeah, that was great, but they needed a few more of those, like every good tanking team.

It's possible, but unlikely IMO given how much he has played Raffl and Read at ES this season.

They havent even drafted that poorly, but drafting high is not a requirement to being good.

boosh is giving crawford the vezina at the half-way mark. i just decided he looks a bit a like ben affleck.

I wonder if we'll be Montreal's feel good game.

Hockey Central was on at Noon and said he'd be back tonight. Had his agent on.

You don't record Kyper and Mac to watch when you get home?

Yeah, but if McDavid goes on ANY kind of tear, the Canadian based hockey writers will fall all over themselves writing hot takes on why McDavid should get it.
