Stevie learned the whole trading down thing from Kenny.

There's no "puke" emoji on my laptop......

Listen, I was happy when we left the Western Conf to join the Eastern Conf....balance is about 3yrs away right now and I think the Best of the East will rise. TAM & BOS are just the tip of the ice-berg; I seriously contend that the Atlantic will be the foundationally strongest division in the NHL. OTT has been very sneaky in stockpiling picks (and dang good ones), plus shrewd trades. Watch them, soon. Parity is going to hit and then it's game-on. The Wings are about 3yrs away as well.....I would opine that the Atlantic will be a perennial 4-way crap-shoot.

100% agreed, and he would too. You put ut way more succinctly than I did!

C'mon Smilanic at 51 and Bloomqvist at 55..... pleaee please please please.... hahahah

In purely probabilistic terms, that's basically getting a fourth-round pick for free.

Sogh. I guess its only ayers from Sweden in this draft.

#51 pick Niederbach, great pick!!

"Hanas has great offensive instincts with excellent puck-handling skills. The release on his shot is at a professional level and is a deadly weapon."

If I recall, Kucherov had similar statements made about him during his draft year. Worth the gamble.

I like Sebrango, kind of a Sanderson lite version. No real holes in the game but nothing rrally elite either. Really good skater though. Will be a nice 2nd or 3rd Pair shutdowny guy.

I posted video of the 51 and 55 picks Niederbach and Hanas. I’m back! Enjoy

Heard the same thing about Pulkkinen and Frk. The shot being a deadly weapon part.

Hopefully his nickname is Poca. Poca Hanas.

Far less deadly than guessing Zach Hyman’s nickname....

Didn't hear about inconsistency on offense and great flashes. You just heard of a cannon.

Yep. Even after they were relegated to the AHL heard about wasting those players. Not everyone can make the jump

Isn't 70 kinda old to be playing in the NHL? I mean, unless you're Chelios, of course....
