I don’t care about the position of draft .. we’ll draft in he top 10 good enough for me.

I do care about winning, winning is fun.

Man do I like Sherwood, he’s always in the mix - good shot and speedy with a tenacious side. A perfect 3rd liner.

Next year I’d like to see something along the lines of -

67/15/ Jones
Kase / Rico or Steel / Silf
Richie / Rico or Steel / Terry
Shore / Rowney / Sherwood

Sprong / Grant / Perry

And then fix the backend -

Not understanding why the big night was "spoiled." Because we missed the playoffs? Only a moron would have thought we had a chance. His big night wasn't spoiled at all.

Have to add Comtois to the mix. I believe Murray has already stated he'll be with the big club next year.

I thought about Max and I like him a lot -

That probably necessitates a trade of some combo of F for D with some team ...

Anaheim still has a lot to be optimistic about next year. Look how they played coming down the stretch this year after getting rid of the cancer.

Next year something like:
Rakell, Getz, Max Jones
Kase, Henrique, Silfverberg
Sprong, Steel, Terry
Ritchie, Rowney, Sherwood

Extras to fit in Perry, Comtois, Shore...I know Ritchie is more of a 3rd than 4th but I like Sprong playing with the younger line and Ritchie using his size to give the 4th line an advantage.

Fowler, Lindholm, Manson, Welinski, Megna, Larrson, Mahura

Gibby leading and hopefully Miller resigns

Just need to bring up Eakins who has experience working with all these kids and put a better system in place in the d-zone and breakouts.

It's a good draft to pick up a potential top 3 foward. I do like good hockey. But it's to little to late. And I don't think Steel, Terry, Jones are gonna be a able to take up that slack when Getzlaf starts declining in a few years. To me a top 3 foward is 70+ point player who's not a liability in the defensive end.
Maybe Bob can trade up. Or maybe he thinks he can get that top line foward around pick 10. But the need is real. Think about all the other teams picking around us. Buffalo, New York, Detroit, LA . None of them have any problems with tanking. But we are just giving away slot positions. And for what. What do we gain. A few good games to watch. Maybe some experience for the younger players. That's not enough to stunt the future of the team.

The duck message is removed from the competition round you share very impressively. Thank you for sharing this useful information with us.
