Nah, Jr already gave up on next season cause we didn't trade for Nik Hjalmarsson and Brayden Schenn.

I'm not paying Calgary's price for Travis (frank)ing Hamonic. Besides, he wasn't going to an EC team anyways.

What was essentially Panarin for Saad.. it was clear each team wanted a player in return. Columbus is loaded with 200' players and Chicago was better with Saad. Tell me, what player on our team (not pick) gets us either player? Tell you right now, Kane sure as poop doesn't.

Then there's Hjalmarsson. A 30 year old 3-4 dman. Ok, he could help us in the short term. Something Botterill is openly against. So he's traded for a more developed version of Will Borgen and Cliff Pu. And he had a modified NTC.

Eberle for Strome. Two underachieving players, one with a bloated contract. A less effective Okposo for the same price on the right side, where we don't have a need.

Botterill did the right thing by avoiding all of these trades.

I am sooooo happy the Leafs didn't pay that price for Hamonic. No way is that guy worth that haul. To be honest I don't think he was worth just a 1st.

I think I would have preferred Tippett in that slot because they said he had the best shot of all forwards in this draft which tells me that he is more NHL ready sooner but he didn't have the high ceiling and 200 ft game of Mittlestadt. I really can see him doing a Clayton Keller and 1 and done in college but it'll depend on his growth.

UM has a fantastic program, they play heavy and fast. Like Bots said, he will have a great training program there. Guarantee he comes out next season with 15 lbs of bulk.

Hopefully not the freshman 15 kind of growth

Well I know what they did for Fasching while there. I don't doubt that.

I agree. I'd pay a 2nd and a defensive prospect for him. I wouldn't take him in Buffalo unless Bogo was gone and upgraded with a significantly better player.

Teams are panicking to keep up with conference rivals who make a move. Calgary panicked to try to keep up with EDM who also are making boneheaded moves.

It's either a GM sees his team as behind or a GM sees that he has a small window due to ELC's ending or players aging and is trying to stock up for a deep run.

I don't see Calgary good enough to win a playoff round in the West.

I did hear that we are getting another lottery pick though...

What are you talking about

On top of that, he's going to college instead of juniors. Strength training is much more significant and an onus is put unto it. A perfect place for a guy who only needs strength to succeed.

Lol and that means I wanted those players ? Ok then

Stating the obvious if you think this diarrhea roster is going to turn into a playoff team then you're sadly mistaken most likely be a lottery team

There was no wake up call bigger than that for me when I played D1 football in college. My diet and strength was MAXED and I considered myself pretty well when I was going into college. Playing hockey at Minnesota is like playing football at Alabama... he will be WELL taken care of and focused on.

If I remember reading it right.. he turns 20 in January so he could play in the AHL. I think that was what I read.

I never once freaked out over those deals or the draft but okay then..

[quote=GERBE!!!75PTS]

I really don't agree with this team as diahrrea or a lottery team. They are in a new coach's system for the 3rd time in 6 years if I am not mistaken. 4th time in 7 years.

They need some luck to stay healthy and consistency in their game plan.

Plus it doesn't matter. He's not bound by the CHL.

The only impact players we have are ROR , Jack ,risto
Kyle I don't know how he's going to be this season so I'm not putting him in

The rest of the team is just average imo

I have been waiting for you to change it
