He was a boil on the ass of the franchise for long enough.

Re: 2023 Draft Class
Bedard is going to kill it. Just hope he gets a bit taller. Otherwise the sky’s limit. At worst this is a Brad Marchand level player.
I thought Wright was going to be a great player, but this kid blows him away.

Bigger ceiling than Marchand, Doyle. He’s somewhere between Patrick Kane and Sidney Crosby.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 6:42 pm Bedard is going to kill it. Just hope he gets a bit taller. Otherwise the sky’s limit. At worst this is a Brad Marchand level player.

Re: 2023 Draft Class
Wrights still a good player, Doyle. He started slow but is getting back to where he was. Apparently he’s getting extra attention from opposing teams this year. I’m still picking him 1st overallBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 6:42 pm Bedard is going to kill it. Just hope he gets a bit taller. Otherwise the sky’s limit.

Re: 2023 Draft Class
Watch out for Ontario kid - Fantilli. Super talent, probably goes 3rd overall after Bedard and Michkov. The top 10 of 2023 is insane , mostly dominated by Canadians

I see a lot of Sid in his game. Built like a tank too.
He will end up in Arizona in time to take the league by storm when the Pigmsn signs there.

Would you trade Quinton and Elias for the right to pick this kid in 2023?

Re: 2023 Draft Class
An observation… Dallas is killing at the draft the last decade. They got three franchise pieces in one draft. And a good middle six forward. 2017 was kind to them. Roope Hintz…? Like wtf? and their first picks from 2021 are ripping apart the OHL and WHL.
It will be interesting to track the new administration’s picks.

You know full well Arizona is tanking and loading up on picks and prospects to line up with pigmans arrival. Toronto needs to make a decision fast with Matthews. He may get the surprise Gretzky LA trade sooner than we think.

Re: 2023 Draft Class
The Michkov KHL angle is interesting. The kid is a supreme talent as well but may drop due to the Russian angle with the likes of Fantilli, Ritchie, Yager, Benson, Dvorsky all sitting there at 2nd pickBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 08, 2022 7:05 pm Would you trade Quinton and Elias for the right to pick this kid in 2023?

Re: 2023 Draft Class
Good points … but Dallas might have 3 of the best 20 picks in that draft. They violated the draft The one people said sucked. They rebooted or rebuilt their team that day.
