So it seems that Lawrence has moved up to 4th in some draft rankings... I know, late climber bias et al. But still - if Van's lovely lady luck holds - and they end up drafting 3rd... With 1st, 2nd going McKenna, Verhoeff - would you skip the Swede, and go for the Centre? No, I think centre's are ...

Good game, like the looks of the new streak!

Well we clearly need an Edmonton like run of top 5 picks here just to be safe!

Nice to see a bit of truculence from the kid!

Gonna go check out our boy Parker Alcos play for the Rockets for the first time tonight! I’ll see what we have and report back. Alcos seems like a solid steady defenseman, he's not flashy or driving the offensive but he skates very well and was put out in almost all key defensive situations. Easily ...

The next couple years we need to hit a couple out of the park. I've been thinking about that, and I'm not sure it's true. If they really are rebuilding, and are willing to endure 3 years of losing a lot and drafting high, and trading everything to accumulate other teams' draft assets, I suspect ...

BCE gonna get us rollin again, time for a new streak!

A la Marco Rossi.

Yeah, I’ve even likened Braeden Cootes to BMo as well.

When you have an elite winger a defensively responsible, puck distributing centre is a great option.

That is the funniest part of his marriage.

Well let’s see what we can do to get the newlyweds closer together!

LA is the obvious choice. SLC is a quick flight, EP could be a nice fit with Keller. Similar ages!

Yeah giving Foote the reigns never made much sense until we knew Hughes was gonzo.

Clearly was no point in bringing someone else in, let him do his thing for the next 2 years then bring in a real coach.

Interestingly enough I was going to post about McKenna and his post WJC games the other day, before the hatty game. It’s going to be tough not to pick him if we get the first OA. The rest of the draft focus on D and centres! Really like Daxon Rudolph out of PA. And then if we could swing picking up t ...
