Yeah. They did great with Lucic. The Hamilton thing is baffling. The draft picks (Zboril aside) were shocking.
The more I read about DeBrusk and Senyshyn the more I like but, like Ray Ferraro says it's about volume with drafting, it will always be hit and miss outside the top 10 but the more picks you have the better your chances of hitting a homerun

They definitely made someodd picks, but every pick is a lottery ticket.

Then why not trade down? DeBrusk likely could've been had around 20, and Senshysyn might've gone in the 2nd round. Teams were paying huge premiums (San Jose) to trade up a couple spots.

You asking me? I don't know. Why did Dallas take Guryanov much higher than where the hockey media type draft prospect rankers ranked him whom hockey fans seem to consider as gospel. Good question, sorry I don't have an answer.

lol not asking you specifically, dude. More just a general pondering of why reach for guys that you would likely be able to snag later. Unless Sweeney had some intel that someone else was going to jump at them, looking at the guys that went later, I kind of doubt it.

Boston likely could've had DeBrusk and Seneshysynyn as well as a couple extra draft picks.

Yeah those picks were out of left field by the Bruins . I would have burned one of those picks on Konecny myself . I'm a little disappointed Vancouver didn't take him but I don't hate the Boeser pick

I'm on the fence with Konecny cause of his size, he's the same size as jordan Schroeder, but if he turns into a Tyler Johnson or a Brenden Gallagher I'll be pissed. I would have been happy taking Konecny but I am happy with Boeser too. Boeser and Virtanen give us good size and skill on RW. If Kassian gets his shit together our RW looks pretty damn intimidating, hell if this giant Grenier continues to shock with his development we could have the biggest and formidable RW in the NHL

That was my issue with the picks too - it didn't make sense. I'm sure it didn't make many fans happy considering what they gave up. They could have probably turned two of their firsts into high seconds with a third or forth tossed in. They could have probably turned 3 picks into 5 and still gotten all the players they wanted.

Like any business hockey is all about $$$.

It wouldn't surprise me that >80% of the rumours are generated by the NHL head office to select few reporters. NHL wants to keep the brand in front of their fans as much as possible so they don't lose the group that can take it or leave it. Like any good salesman they need to constantly get in front of their clients to make a sale.

Also a good salesman is someone who talks a lot but dosent promise anything,

Right now Benning and Linden are talking out of both sides of their mouth, they are trying to pacify the fickle fans who only watch the team when they are doing well. They talk about the team being able to re-tool on the fly and they will give prospects a chance to play. I think this is hard to do as WD will be measured on making the playoffs instead of developing players.

The team really has to make a decision and stick with it, don't be wishy washy and try to pacify the ticket holders. Maybe the Aqua family needs to relax their ticket prices a little so more people can afford to attract more people to the game. Supply and demand and right now this team is old and they missed a good chance to make trades a few seasons ago.

Exactly, who's showing up when the team is 15 games out in January and the concession staff is facing layoffs.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

LoL nope, even with your fave team the Oilers in 10 years of tanking, maybe they got it right...
But I see every team smashing the shit out of this team for tanking so much now.

Like fuck you for sucking this long to get a high pick, like KimK.
The problem with the Oilers for the last 10 years prior to Chiarelli was Kevin Lowe, pure idiot. Most teams who have gone full rebuild usually only mired in the dungeons of the league for 2-3 years. I have some faith in the bird dog scout Benning and dapper Linden not going full Kevin Lowe dumb ass for 10 years.
All due respect to Ray Ferraro, name one team who was quick into a rebuild and quick out of it.

Pittsburgh? 5 years of picking in the top 5
Chicago? They went a decade out of the playoffs
Edmonton? A decade and counting...

The only team that comes to mind is the Flyers, they went full-tank mode after an awful start and thought the re-build would be fast. They've now missed the playoffs 2 of the past 3 years.

This is great!!

Now the third amigo (Burrows) will waive to Anaheim at the deadline!

Perfect for the internal-budget Ducks.

See, Burrows only gets $3M in actual salary in 2016-17 (last season on his contract).

QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!
