why did yesterday's blog have to end?

Don't worry.

Fact: No one ever stated that one player was going to replace Schenn's offensive output. The discussion was over whether or not his offensive production could be replaced. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a false revisionist.

There you go.

I think today is the day we finally figure out if Schenn's output was replaced

But there is no way Weal, Lindbolm and Weise replaced Schenn production...

Impossible to say without knowing who is still on the board, but I'd have all of the following ranked ahead of Foudy (not in this order)

Dahlin
Hughes
Dobson
Bouchard
Boqvist
Ty Smith
Sandin
Miller
Wilde
Svechnikov
Zadina
Tkachuk
Wahlstrom
Farabee
Kaut
Denisenko
Berggren
Kotkaniemi
Veleno
Hayton
Lundestrom

That's 21 guys just off the top of my head that I'd take before Foudy and there are others as well. Again I like the guy, but not enough to take in the first round unless I'm holding one of the last 3 or 4 picks in the round.

It really is sickening and if it did come from Hoffman's fiancee, I really have to question both his choice in women and his overall character.

I just walked out of my job of 6 years. I mean if we don't have Brayden Schenn what's even the point then?

This is why you keep your woman barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen cooking you your chicken pot pie and bringing you your slippers and the newspaper.


She would simply have no time for social media.

I'm pretty sure I'm getting blamed for that argument. It only started yesterday at noon and I only gave my first thought on it at 9pm at night.

I think your thoughts are on record from the day he was traded.

ahead of him why? is this just based off reading whats available (scouting reports) on each player or have you actually seen all these guys play a decent amount?

serious question not busting your balls.

Vyacheslav Butsayev- thought him, 88 , and 17 would have been a great 1 2 3 punch down the middle for a long time.

bill any thoughts why "bootsy" never panned out?

I've seen all of these guys play to some degree (on tv, not in person). Some I've only seen clips, some I've seen multiple games. I've also read at least 5 or 6 scouting reports on each player by different sources and from all of the above, I come up with my rankings. I have these guys, and a few more all ahead of Foudy for a variety of reasons, but, for the most part, it just comes down to the guys ahead of him, IMO, either have significantly higher ceilings or a significantly better chance of reaching their ceiling than Foudy does.

Mr. BiggE, do you have any special activities planned (special bottle of scotch, animal sacrifice, ritual suicide, etc.) in celebration of the birth of Doug Crossman?

Montreal will be the team to watch. For some reason i see them taking a defensman at 3 if still there. I could also see it traded and they drop down a little to get a defender.

This.

Although I believe there were some who felt that his production wouldn't be replaced even by committee.

Later in my career, it got to a point where I started blacking out after I took a big hit to the head. I’d kind of just wake up in the trainer’s chair with no recollection of what had gone down in the game for the most part, or even things leading into the game. Then I’d go back and watch the tape and see myself doing all sorts of stuff out on the ice that wasn’t familiar. It was like watching someone else play in my body.

And it was scary.
