I was under the impression that we wanted guys who could skate.

Schenn can tie his skates... That's almost the same thing.

Yes, they are pretty much an identical team. You can start the parade preparations asap

Speaking of offseason doldrums, read his latest article redoing leaf drafts from 2005-2017.

Talk about barfing in your (frank)ing mouth.

I could've posted similar poop for the Rangers

2016: Korshkov over DeBrincat. Bring back Lou/Hunter

Can be said for almost every team.. Drafting isn't easy. Go watch Moneyball...

Not the Blues or those gritty Islanders? No, it’s gotta be Roope Hintz

You could do this for literally every team in the league.

It's like picking stocks - ya some people are better at it than others, but no one gets it right 100% of the time

2016: Korshkov over DeBrincat. Bring back Lou/Hunter
- Steven_Seagull

Lou brought in Andersen while Dubas thought Sparks was the real deal... I can also point out all the subpar Ufa adds brought in last off-season by dubas (and the dubas lovers (including 'professional' sports writers) all of a sudden writing in Kenny agostino as a sure bet to make the team). And Cody ceci.

Dubas adds Muzzin, Lou added Hainsey.

Bring back Lou

I don't see Nylander getting matched up against MacKinnon in the playoffs though (yes, Hintz plays C quite a lot - if you'd watch the games you would actually know that and have a right to have an opinion on Hintz).
Hintz hasn't even played his best hockey yet - he's been ok but not spectacular so far. Still - worth twice as much in playoffs as Willie the floater

Muzzin is slow and might never play another hockey game or at least be hindered very much from another back/neck injury
