I watched a couple games vs the Winnipeg Ice and he was fun to watch. Had a strong playoffs 16 points in 10 games. Your scouts blog said that his skating is near NHL ready. Good sign because he is only 165 lbs and that's a lot of room for growth in strength.
Your scouts blog seems to be real consensus that Reinbacher, ASP, Barlow, Moore, Danielson, Yager, Simashev, Wood are all just outside of the top 10 but no one really stands out and there's really no consensus on who should be pick other than who that teams scouts feel has the most upside still. There is 8 players there, I think that trading down to 15th or something would be a very good idea as to get better value - manvanfan
Forget value just draft the player you like. If Reinbacher is there take him. If not take Simashev. If not ASP. Trade down and you lose that choice.

Trading down still leaves good choices. All depends on other biz needed done & how far down.

Yes, they pay my airfare, hotel, vehicle rental and a daily rate on top of that. That’s just for food and beer. You’d have to eat a whole lot to buy $180 USD worth of groceries every day. Not bad for sitting around telling people what they should be doing. - LeftCoaster
Yeah man, good for you.
It would be nice to consult every now and then for top dollar, but only every now and then.
Anyways if you make it to the maritimes we'll play a round of golf.
He should be focusing on Hockey right now because that's what he's paid to do. Nothing impressive about this at all. It only proves he can't get over the hump in either sport. Trade him now before it's too late. - Load Management

Nobody gets paid at this time of year. Yet there are still guys out there putting themselves on the line, for a lot less than the 56 million the Canucks just invested in him, to pursue an offseason Golfing career.
He should be in the gym or still skating hard like the guys that are still playing. Not chasing balls around at a country club. - Load Management
If I were a pro I'd absolutely take July off, and all the time up to it I had off as well. I might start back in July if I didn't make the playoffs.
It's a long (frank)ing season, you need a break at some point.

Tocchet told him it was okay on "nights he didn't have it". - VanHockeyGuy
I think what Tocchet said is he played the right way on nights he didn't have it. Toucchet has played full seasons multiple times, he gets what it's like. I can't remember a single player bringing it for 20 minutes a night, 82 nights a year.
Let's be honest, he's golfing not on a beach drinking beer. They call it the offseason for a reason. IF he's training the first week of August there's nothing to see.

No different than when Luongo was more focused on Poker than he was winning a cup.
Ha…yeah, sure. Reminds me of the Morgan Freeman speech in Shawshank Redemption where he says “don’t you know, everyone’s innocent in here”.
Are you kidding me, do you know how much consultants make? This is a highly paid vacation away from her. They give me $180 a day for LOA, that’s a lot of steak and beers every day. - LeftCoaster
So you think Boonerbuck is an Nighthawk alt. Woman, stfu....
They say it takes about 3 weeks for estrogen levels fall back to a mans level after they have taken E supplements. If you start acting like a man after 3 weeks away from her, then you know she's been spiking your Papbs Blue Ribbons.

I don't really GAF either way. Maybe he turns golf pro and retires from hockey, I'd LMAO.

IKR... he has already taken a step back since putting pen to paper on that deal... he's going to face a lot of rage if he has yet another step back season.
