Isn't this joke two days old----let it go sheesh

Neither him or Kooleus realize that about 1% of this site find this “beating a dead horse” style funny

Only guy who truly loves these dummies is Ek, who keeps soaking up the hits every time one of them beak off.

Lot of people talking about lack of scoring.

Seattle didn't have a whole lot to choose from.

And there's still the Draft and Free Agency.

Seattle has options to improve on goal scoring.

That is what I would have changed personally. Obviously I don't have access to Tarasenko's medical records, but if he is feeling 100% than that was a big miss as well.

I know there was some questionable picks, I do feel like they are pretty decent defensively though, but as a Kings fan I just don’t understand why they picked MacDermid. I’m glad they did, and the kings don’t exactly have a deep team, but they got some young bottom 6 forwards, like Grundstrom and Wagner, that I thought they would have chosen from. Unless they want to put MacDermid at wing, like rumors were the Kings were looking at doing, and win over fans with fighting, which for an enforcer he really didn’t get much chances last season, then ok but it’s still just a bad pick in my opinion.

My take on this so far is that Francis did not run this draft. Some analytics geeks ran this drqaft.

You mean like Moneyball for hockey. It’s problematic when bean counters are picking your team….unless Billy Beane is in on it.

My opinion, which I will admit is less informed than yours, is that Vegas has peaked. The manner in which they lost to the not-2nd-best team in the NHL suggests they are on a San Jose track: tottering around near the upper levels of playoffs, but failing to win it all, and with the trend downwards.

That's a digression though. The reason why I focused on the first year is because I think the Kraken don't plan to have such a successful year this year.

We will know pretty clearly within a couple of days what their intent is.

You opinion is just…well…stupid!

If Tarasenko was feeling 100% he wouldn’t have been exposed and would have already been traded for actual assets to another team.

Ha ha.

Where did you come from, TF? Wait don't answer. You must just be passing through.

But seriously, I can see why you would disagree (given its your team). Just my strong hunch (nothing more).

I just don’t find you’re repetitive jargon funny. You’d be more interesting if you realized that all your efforts only put money into this site.

I just find that you're a thin skinned, whiny crybaby, Ek. I mean...ah it doesn't matter what your alt is. You'd be more interesting if you learned basic English and had some actual hockey knowledge. I'm glad I contributed 10 cents to your site. It seems like you really need it. Shouldn't you be ripping off Friedman, Lebrun or Seravalli?

Take Jarnkrok as an example. Not only could there have been a future consideration deal with Nashville, but it's entirely possible that another GM said...hey Frances, try to pick Jarnkrok, that's a guy we'd probably take off your hands at the deadline. He's a cheap, versatile, bottom 6 guy that we'd add for playoff depth. Probably give you a 3rd or 4th for him. So Ronnee picks a guy that can give him 50-60 games of stability and then flips him for a draft pick.

Same with Pitlick over Fischer. Pitlick is a serviceable bottom 6 guy. Fischer has regressed each year in the league. He can put up a few points on a bad team, but where does Fischer fit on a true contender. Not your top 6. Not even your top 9. His skills aren't suited for a 4th line, whereas Pitlick is. So Ronnee is thinking ahead...who can I flip as a rental to a contender. Jarnkrok - for sure. Pitlick - probably. Fischer - nobody needs him.

- Kooleus


Calgary gave a 4th for pitlick. If loosing for draft chances is the aim then placing fisher at the net front on the 1st power play shouldn’t be a problem. Just having pucks go in off of him could fetch at least a 4th. Pitlick blackwell are better players but the return does not exceed that of the younger option. Trenon is a beast and will eclipse any value jankrok could ever return in a deadline trade.

Same old schtick. Someone tells you that you’re not the hilarious hero you think you are and you run to the “ok, Ek” routine.
You’re more predictable than a sunrise.

Hard truth: Turd, Kooleus, and yourself are pandering to each other. None of you guys are original.

Keep hiding behind alts Ek. You're a thin skinned crybaby. I'm still living rent free in your head. The smallest dig triggers you. It's predictable and hilarious. You became triggered from 3 words. "Hey it's Frances." Pathetic.

Hard truth: You're a compulsive liar. You don't have an original bone in your body. Most people come here to make fun of you. No one believes you have any actual sources. E5

We'll see when UFAs, draft and trades are done.

Expecting same results Vegas had is a huge mistake.

My (frank) you’re obnoxious. If I were Ek I would have already banned you.

Again, predictable as always.

You’re such a (frank)ing clown. Keep going.

You spend so much of your day commenting on this site, yet most of it lacks substance and the rest is just recycled poop you beat to death.
Anyone who lets you know how idiotic you sound is called a crybaby or Ek.
Rinse, wash, repeat.

And let’s not forget how sad it is how often you refresh the Leaf blog just to see if someone has replied to your stupid jokes. I legitimately feel bad for you that Hockeybuzz takes up so much of
Your life.

I’m not triggered lil fella. I just think you’re a total (frank)ing loser. Don’t get it twisted.

Here, have the last word, we both know how badly you need it.

I am curious how you know this ... and how you can tell if he is refreshing to read any comment or just joke responses.

Asking for a friend.
