Kaptann already traded Tanev for Yak

Thats just what we need an underachieving small forward that whines and can't back check.

I was going to go to the draft party before Benning gave away the second round pick.
I guess I will just stay home and watch everyone go full Phucker here on HB.

(frank) the second we through a 4th into the trash

Now i have to go look.

It's not pretty

Two.....if you're talking good picks that'll make an impact down the road. If you believe the draft history. Three would be better but Gudbranson will take some of the heat off Benning, because he's gonna be a beast!

You have stepped of the ledge

I hope so, but his later round picks to date are pretty sketchy, Olsen being the exception for me...good pick!
- LeftCoaster

Olsen, Brisbouis, Tree, Gaudette, Carl Neil all 3rd round or later...

Also Mackenzie Stewart

I aslo liked the Zhukenov pick. :thumbs:

Edit: I was really hoping we would have traded Eddie to SanJose for their 2nd in 2015 knowing that we may have had a chance at Nick Merkley but once Arizona took him at 30th all my hopes and dreams were dashed.

And Jasek...I heard a rumour he will come to NA this season...he is rotting away in Europe

Exactly, the likelyhood of those bums becoming anything more then a decent top four dman is next to non-existant.

Hence the need to keep picks, notably those second rounders which are generally used to select defenseman with good-to-great upside...

No, that's not what I'm saying...not even close

Other than McCann we gave up nothing for by far the best defence man in the 2010 draft.

What about the 4th for 5th swap

Oh no!

To be clear though I am not undermining the importance of the Draft or the picks but in my mind JB jumping on the opportunity to get Gudbranson is a no brainer for me.

Guddy is better.

That's worth lynching Benning.

My dream draft party would consist of Benning trading Edler and Hansen to Boston for 14th and 29th/30th and Joe Morrow. Then swap 29/30 with Morrow maybe more to get up to 15. And at 5 take Dubois. At 14 and 15 take Jost (wont be there but if he drops) and Jake Bean, if no Jost Dante Fabbro.
Again this is my dream not prediction

Especially if it's true that the Oilers were after him and Florida called us.

Edmonton is a joke. I don't care if Chirelli is there now. The Katz/K Lowe and his posse are still there. Nothing will change in Edmonton until ownership and management changes.

That's worth lynching Benning.

Lets take him out back and shoot him.

Guddy is better.

Than the All-Star?

How would Subban feel about your plan?

Than the All-Star?

He is a Canuck. So yes. He is now worth 4 first round picks

Than the All-Star?

How did he do in the playoffs this year?
