Kostin could be a steal in round 2 as well

Why not just bring John Scott out of retirement?

Scott is too nice to stand up for that scumbag.

Wtf first round pick for a 4th line tough guy?

That is (frank)ing terrible, Reaves and 51 for 31 and Sundqvist.

Now Sid has no excuse to be a douchebag.

Baker gets no say anymore with his Leon Draisaitl lies

So, what you are telling me is our D is not very good? No, say it ain't so

Well if we had Anaheim's defense u wouldn't hear any of us b!tching!

Ive lost faith in Baker a bit

Top prospect and a 1st re pick for a 4th line fwd.

This proves you can be a terrible GM and still win a cup

Wait... what did I miss?

StL used Reaves to move up 20 spots?!
Wow
Idk what Pitt was thinking there
Nice player, but he's a 4th liner

Sundqvist was Pittsburgh's best young forward (not in the NHL) too

He basically sold his soul and became a homer employee

Remember when Buffalo was supposed to be active today?

he's an enforcer...there to protect Crosby, et al...and I thought they were extinct

I don't know about that...he does a lot of research...just like scouts...and, just like scouts, he's not perfect

I wouldn't call him a "top" prospect
Maybe a 3rd liner one day
Idk that he'll be much of a scorer in the nhl

Hjalmersson was the only one i feel like we had a chance on. I feel like we could have made a better offer potentially

- chilliard77

Did he blow up this year or something?
I know he's decent,
but I haven't heard anything about him being a stud or anything

wonder if murray would have gotten the job done

Seems to be far superior to his present teammates, and it lessens his dominance. If his hockey IQ reads openings on the ice and linemates don't see what he does, they are less likely to be in advantageous. This makes him seem less effective, but his high skills are less evident.

--Bill Placzek--

I had thought something similar, how it might be that his skill allows him to dominate on PP but the rest of the team brings down his 5v5 play. Kind of like how our high end skill got us a good PP but the lack of depth/Coach/D killed us.

Who would we have offered thouhg? Idk if I'd give up McCabe

Maybe something like Hjlamarsson and a prospect for McCabe straight up

Make them pay for that cheap contract

superlatives are often used to back up one's point of view

Well he had a solid year in the AHL and Pittsburgh's cupboard isn't exactly full lol
