Maybe if the camera was static it wouldn't bug me as much – but with it moving around, zooming in and out, and the players moving, I find it so aggravating to watch

Oh yeah static would better for sure

Thanks...how’s the back?
- Pacificgem

Good days and not so good but I'm so happy it was done. I'm grateful that I have so many friends in here to pass the with.
Thanks for asking.

Fan club? Not so much. But I’d take Motte at $900k or whatever over Beagle at $3m 100 times out of 100.

I like Motte but lets chat when Motte has played 12 years in the League and has a cup.

When you've always been a bottom six player that's not usually a good thing moving forward.

So would a guy who completes a line that scores 5v5. Grewe has the same potential as Podkolzin and was taken more than a round later.

Beagle is pure garbage. Cup or no cup, he is trash.

Wow...just looking at the 2019 draft, realized the Avalanche are really really good and they still have Bowen Byram and Alex Newhook to insert into their lineup #JoeSakic

I guess we’ll see. I doubt he’ll surprise with ability unless he magically develops some hockey sense. He also won’t surprise with drive as everyone already knows he has that in abundance. He is what he is, which IMO is a terrible pick at 10 considering who was still on the board.
- DrChristianTroy

Podkolzin wasn't my pick either. I wanted Newhook.

I get it, but he can barely crack the lineup now. About the only think keeping him in is faceoffs and some PK.

He’s so bad, for 900K you could easily find a replacement player.

I find it interesting he wound up with the team that selected Boldy. Do we know which of the decision makers preferred Podkolzin yet?
- DrChristianTroy


Rumors were it was the scouting staff pushing for Podkolzin and Benning/Weisbrod were less than convinced.

Interesting. Wonder why the cryptic jabs by Brackett if his (their) guy was taken after all...

He's on the list of top 3 forwards to replace after any given game. Yes, fine player for a cup winning team 2 years ago. Hardly foundational.

I was fine with Podkolzin, but preferred Newhook myself.
Back in 2016, I was wanting Chychrun or Fabbro, but was told by others on different sites that I was out to lunch.
Pretty sure those same people now, would probably agree with me.

The narrative is that this selection created the rift. Bracket wasn’t at the table on day two (allegedly)

Me too. He'd be looking like a solid #3 right now.
