Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Doyle was a huge fan of Jake Bean at his draft, he’s played 2 NHL games thus far. He was drafted 13th overall in 2016. Olli’s draft

You do realize people are capable of reading the old threads right? And yet you persist in lying like a cheap rug on a consistent basis. You’re better than this.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:31 amIt’s funny all the pro scouts had Veleno, McIsaac and Wise going top 5 a year prior to their drafts but it’s a travesty if ole Chef gets pigeon holed with his scouting reports at certain time periods.

FFS... PADDY, DUDE, AND I WERE DRIVING THE PETEY BANDWAGON PRIOR TO THE DRAFT:

"He better not... some more of us..."
Kudos to Paddy though.
Of course Dude is, he posts in those threads for 2-3 years pre draft. Plenty of time to change one's mind c(and not after the fact, like some posters at other boards with a "track record").Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:53 pm
Paddy sure... walk the thread back and the Dud is up and down and side to side like a fucking jellyfish. Get serious he zeroed in on Pettersson.
Your comment is your comment.
Actually nvm, Dude also changes his mind after the fact all the time. One of the most enjoyable things to observe on board
BTW ole Doyle was angry we took Madden instead of Wise

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Jakes a bit of a unique situation though in the sense he’s stuck behind a good defense. I’d be interested in him if he was a rhd.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:34 am Doyle was a huge fan of Jake Bean at his draft, he’s played 2 NHL games thus far.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Six months before his draft I had a post where I liked Jake Bean. Again, people can read amigo. You’re making a spectacle of yourself.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:34 am Doyle was a huge fan of Jake Bean at his draft, he’s played 2 NHL games thus far.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
I’d absolutely take a look at him if he’s available. Carolina has such a stacked defence and he’s apparently played well in the AHL. I believe he was in the conversation for top D man in the league. I thought I’d read somewhere that he can play the off side. I admittedly haven’t seen the kid since he played in the WJC but he was a dynamic player there. He’s put up solid numbers in the AHL.Richardstroker69 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:39 amJakes a bit of a unique situation though in the sense he’s stuck behind a good defense.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Jake Bean doesn’t stand up to Doyles hardened size criteria. He’s only 6’ - 175 lbs. can that be overlooked? Is he dynamic enough to make up for his slight body frame?

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
With the success vegas has playing only one(?) true rhd we might need to look at that. Tyramkin can play right side as can benn and Quinn, don’t know about rathbone and joulevi.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 10:49 amI’d absolutely take a look at him if he’s available.

Re: The Great Jim Benning Debate! (And personal insult thread)
Our forwards on the whole suck at coming back to help out on D. It was Keystone Cops and Charlie Chaplin meets Doyle at the end of the evening at the Arms trying to pick up the waitress for a night cap in the back. Sloppy

Is Doyle missing the Dufferin?

This was very similar to the scrap Doyle had in Washington State
