Good outline of what the actual difference is between tanking and draftist takes. Though the former wants to expand to encompass the latter to excuse its core issues.

That was tough to watch but they still had a chance to win, I didn't listen I turned the sound off cant stand bob cole

I honestly don’t think Marner could crack the Canucks top 6 in a couple of years. And he’d be useless in the bottom 6.

5 goals? Hard pass.

Bergeron Krejci & Chara are not getting any younger. Bruins are not in as great a position as some may think.


As for Marner he is like any winger who doesn’t have a good C to play with. Easily checked down especially come the PO’s.
Look at a star like Kane & see how hard it is getting to be.

Just ask Daigle Stefan Yakupov...

Can we put the whole team in the press box?

lol VGK put together a PO team with 3-4 liners and our entire club (minus Boeser) should be taking a tour of the press box. The irony is astounding....

Lol oh don’t jerk him around. Lay it out that the core flaws are designing your team to fail doesn’t get the reward of the top pick(s) because of modern lotto.

lol my bad, yeah, what i meant was that the goal should be to try and be as competitive as possible each and every year.

Being weak and slow down the middle makes everyone look brutal including the dmen.

The highlight of this road trip through 2 games has to be Eric Gudbranson's 2 on 1 in overtime.


You can't teach hockey like that.

Seemed like you did by your post showing draftist are about quality picks in all rounds to build without designing team to lose in season which is the core value to tanking and reaping the top pick score.

I don’t get the love for boqvist. Never seen him play but the stats suck and he’s 5’ 9” 154 pounds....

Not many top dmen that size

Now... now... don’t be misleading about draftists. They don’t want to trade away picks to compete. For a rebuild competing means development but you know you are getting a chance at a lotto pick.

Suttle point on draftist vs tanker is you don’t scuttle development for losses. Just draft well and throughout as often as possible. The more quality picks producing prospects the better chance their development balances out team.

But like I said before to cover the core flaw of tanking (flushing a season by design) they will adopt or add draftist cores to save face now in the modern lotto. So exposing that won’t make a difference.
