Hopefully Booner can actually comprehend your words, Carol.

Good job Carol.


Go Canucks Go.

Let's hope for Cozens or Turcotte to drop to us. If not Soderstrom looks like he could be a special player.

Been watching/reading up on him lately. I don't see "special upside" at all, if anything he screams "safe" pick with less of a ceiling than others ranked around him. Good skater, smart player, has decent skill, but not dynamic.

Thanks Carol. I have no problem understanding your blogs. They are not floating in gallons of tears.

I'm trying to figure out what has you wound up today? You back your bum up to the glory hole and then complain that it hurts.

Thx Carol! Not sure about Soderstrom...seems like a safe number 4 but don’t see any top line upside. We need to target a high ceiling this draft. Harley probably has more upside. Let’s just draft Boldy and be done with it

Don't bother. He takes any friendly banter too personally anyway.

EDIT: too late...

I’m not upset, just expected better from you since you usually seem open to actual hockey discussion and don’t just reply with memes when you’re wrong.

In the past you’ve called me out on things and I’ve manned up to it.

If one of boldy/zegras/krebs/caufield(yes I said it) is there and we get one of them at 10, it will be a good draft I think.

I agree with Don,

Pick a forward in the first and look for D after.

An extra 2nd would help.

That’s a lot of smurf !!! I haven’t decided on Caufield. Definitely interested in how he does in the U18’s

Oh this is going to be a good thread.

I prefer Newhook or Brink over Caufield if they are going to take a risky player.

I was pumping up Debrincat during his draft year and was hoping we picked up another late first to grab him but not in the top 10.

You should agree with me...after all I took your head

I thought this year (after they acknowledged the need for an earnest rebuild) they would load up on picks. I thought the Guddy trade was the first of many to come.

As usual, you play it backwards. I was the one who applied a little friendly banter and he got a little upset. Nowhere have I gotten upset. In fact, I just keep joking.

You should stay out of it. You always put yourself in the middle of it and reverse the roles.

I guess no one wants our garbage

Great stuff as usual Carol, I notice Soderstrom moved up the board a fair bit as well. Starting to think he might not even make it to 10.
