I guess, still all teams still located in North America last i checked...

NBA is even more diverse i'd suspect. But wouldn't call the NBA champs world champs.

I would imagine the NBA champion team or any NBA team could beat the national team of any country that the NBA doesn't play in.

Says the guy who thinks Clayton Keller is a star?

He's a star on that team. They suck,

That would be something DCT said. I still can't get over him pumping Antoino Stranges for a top 10 pick the year before the draft and then getting taken 123OA in the end.

Your pro BCHL D.

Facebook threw a sponsored article about what has happened to Dennis Cholowski. The outcome wasn't good.

Take a look at the next 20 or so taken after him, not a very deep draft.

He's playing on a real poop team

A BCHL D that scores 40 points in 50 games, mid to late 2nd round for me. He would have to display some unbelievable size, skating and defensive abilities to cross into that first round.

If you can't dominate a tier 2 league. Chances you go onto NHL is very slim. Even players that aren't offensive in the NHL still dominate the junior leagues.

All good. I think Nucker was a big fan of Keller as well.

I liked Filip Hronek early 20s and Sam Girard late 20s in that draft. I also had Adam Fox at 45.

I even had Victor Mete in the 2nd round

The same Filip Heineken that Detroit picked late in the 2nd round, the same team that selected Cholowski. Hmm.
- Reubenkincade

Right! Detroit lucked out he was still there.

Well he did pick EP. Still way ahead of everyone else wanting Glass etc. Where are all those who wanted Rasmussen the dud?

Mtl-78.6%
Wpg-75%
Cgy-64.3%
Tor-64.3%
Edm-50%
Ott-39.3%
Vcr-33%

Hopefully the Canucks can at least past Ottawa in the North Division. They have some pretty bad games against the Canadian teams.

- Nighthawk

Is there online evidence of him wanting EP way ahead of others?

I mean I miss things but in the book of good stuff that I wrote down back then.

I have in Dec 16, 2016 myself wanting Pettersson. At that time, he wanted Mittelstadt. He wanted Mittelstadt in Feb according to my book.

Rasmussen hasn't been that bad so far. Detroit sucks. At this point he's doing better then Virtanen at his age. Still not someone you take at 9oa

They weren't very good going East. This is a whole new game now. San Jose, LA, Ana last season.

If the Canucks tank this year. It's alright.

Raffy included with Sutter enough to get David Savard out of Columbus? I'd throw in Tree too.

A few days ago I posted Canucks at 6th in division, I stand by that and am okay with them having a drop-off from last season.

Strange season it's going to be.

Maybe i'll open the book and take some notes (for fun of course) see what people think once we know a bit more.
