We still don't even know if Dorsett will play again. At least I haven't heard anything saying when he comes back.

Last I heard he would be ready for training camp. I think he said so at the end of year press conference.

Even if he wasn't, why pencil him in on the AHL? He will be on the NHL roster 100% this year, IR or not

So you're thinking they will have JV play >10 minutes per night on the NHL 4th line, while Derek Dorsett plays 17+ minutes in a top 6 scoring role in the AHL?

If somebody called me Garth Snow I would break their nose

Good God no. I want to finish 20th overall and win the lotttery

That's how you develop in the new NHL. Toxic line ups and seasons like the Avs had only breeds failure not rebuild.

Lack Sucks.

I was hesitant to listen but I am glad I did. He sounds like he knows what he is doing. I also like it when he said. "Why hasn't anybody taken Kole Lind?" Knows who he likes.

It kind of sounded like they were confident in their picks. I don't know if all Gm's are that way (they probably are) but it seems like they identified guys at certain spots and got them.

He is also a runt

So the other day, I dreamt that Van traded Tanev to the Sabres for a 1st and some at the TDL and they ended the season on a 6 game losing streak and missing the playoffs. Then at the draft lottery they ended up 3rd and Van was the worst. They picked 1st and 3rd in 2018 draft. BEST DREAM EVER. Most unrealistic too.

Hey, Garth Snow

Why bring up a crap team like the AV's for a comparison?
We r far from the mess they r in.

Looks like all JB's scouting missions gave him certainties on who he liked.
I luv the way he works n busts his ass with a hands on approach.

it's actually a pretty cool video lol

Since Carol blogged about it. How options can shake out at camp for Green:

Danny Hank Gagner
Sven Bo LE
Granlund Sutter BB
Rodin Burmistrov JV
Boucher

Edler Stecher
Hutton Tanev
MDZ Guddy
OJ Wiercioch

Tandem Marky & Nilsson

Comets shuttle prospects like Goldy, Dahlen etc that are waiver excempt. Non waiver kept as depth in case injuries pile up.

Looks like Brackett ran this draft, Linden pretty much implied the same during his radio interview and interview with TSN.

He needs someone who he trusts though. I thought there was going to be big changes in the scouting department. I haven't heard of any except the Video guy leaving.

Looks like JB values his input & allows his ppl to input.
Luv the fact its a team effort drafting 👍👍

I feel good about Brackett running the draft, seems like a smart guy. Just keep Delorme and Weisbrod away from important decisions.

This draft went well & its the next where it will matter.
2018 is a crucial draft at that.
