= Demko + Holtby - the first shot muffin sieve.

I’d be surprised if it was that low tbh.
I was expecting more like 1 year at 2m.
- dbot

That’s kinda what i was thinking too

Hot take.
Injuries are going to add up for the Flames this year.
- dbot

Rebuild on the fly.

You can’t look at it like that, top ten, because it eliminates several teams like (guessing) Boston & Washington among others who haven’t had a top ten pick.

Now I’m curious and gonna check who’s picked a dman in the first round and how many
- Pacificgem

Sure I can, Canucks pick d men with their top ten draft picks, 3 out of 5 times.
Horvat and Pettersson vs Bourdon, OJ and Hughes.

I can't think of another team spending their high picks on good D

Nice goal.

Pres...I looked it up for poops and giggles, past 15 drafts how many dmen were taken by each team in the first round.

Anaheim Ducks - 7
Boston Bruins - 4
Buffalo Sabres - 7
Calgary Flames - 2
Carolina Hurricanes - 4
Chicago Blackhawks - 4
Colorado Avalanche - 5
Columbus Blue Jackets - 4
Dallas Stars - 5
Detroit Red Wings - 3
Edmonton Oilers - 5
Florida Panthers - 5
Los Angeles Kings - 5
Minnesota Wild - 5
Montreal Canadiens - 7
Nashville Predators - 4
New Jersey Devils - 3
New York Islanders - 4
New York Rangers - 7
Ottawa Senators - 6
Philadelphia Flyers - 5
Phoenix Coyotes - 6
Pittsburgh Penguins - 4
Saint Louis Blues - 5
San Jose Sharks - 4
Tampa Bay Lighting - 4
Toronto Maple Leafs - 5
Vancouver Canucks - 2
Washington Capitals - 4
Winnipeg Jets/Atlanta - 5

Nice goal.

Past sixteen drafts....Edmonton's taken 3 in the top ten, Carolina 3, Florida 3, Anaheim 2, Colorado 2, etc, just for reference.

Wow. Ya that’s not good enough.

Colorado

Also Panthers.
- Reubenkincade

Oilers too...Broberg, Bouchard and Nurse all taken top 10 in the past eight drafts.

This D is an upgrade, i agree. JB has quietly had a good offseason and only gave a 3rd up to do it. I just hope the Hamonic contract isn’t too much.

Same with 2 or 3 picked

Ya 4-5 seems like the sweet spot

What the (frank) are you talking about you clown?

I only stated what I thought a few times and a couple of idiots like yourself got bent out of shape about it. I havent been pounding away about him being bottom 6. I havent been kock blocking people's opinions of him like you have been doing. Why don't you just shut the (frank) up for once.
- boonerbuck

I just looked, alphabetically, at the past 15 DRAFTS starting with Anaheim, who’ve taken 7 dmen in the first round. That’s a lot!! Damn, Buffalo also took 7 in round one too.
- Pacificgem

Frank... almost 5050, that's a poop tonne of D, not as many top tens I'll bet though

Williams Lake in the spring. Father in an empty ward dying of liver failure. They couldn't do some critical tests because of Covid. Pushed a do not resuscitate form on him and sent him home without knowing why his liver was failing. As soon as he got back to 100 Mile house, a doctor there got him on some medication and he's recovered quite well. Williams Lake sent him home to die because all those empty beds might be needed... and they weren't.
- boonerbuck

Yup... some lady was talking about them setting up field hospitals on Vancouver Island... 🤪.

Not saying it's not killing people but some people are so deep into the fear they can see their small intestines...
