Yeah, fuck losing, Jimmy will get the best player no matter what number he drafts at. :mex:
Is that what happened in 2014 and 2016? :look:
Jimmy drafted the best players in those drafts

... but then the motherfucking aliens fucked those players up.

That Laine/Dubois trade seems like one of those trades that hurts both teams...

Mr Aquilini wanted the local kid in 2014.
I have a feeling 2016 would be quite different if 2014 happened differently.

But I guess other GMs hit homeruns every single draft.
Nobody said that. I was responding to a post that said Elmer will get the best player available no matter what number he drafts at.

Well, he does have the skating as if in cement part of it down pat. If you like spending shifts hemmed in in your end he's your man I guess.

Point taken about the other bad centers though ;)

That really isn't surprising. The guy is a journeyman not talented or fast enough to be top 6 and ill-suited to be a permanent bottom 6.

Strict minor leaguer. If you have to call him up more than once a season, you have serious depth issues.

I know people don't like Beagle or Sutter's contract, but to say he even compares to either of those 2 or that he can be a permanent cheap, everyday solution is delusional. Dude is simply not an everyday NHLer.

If Gaudette is going nowhere here because his bottom 6 game sucks, why would anyone get excited about a couple of mean-nothing games from Graovac?

Yeah, his standing still game is pretty strong. But when locomotion kicks in, he falters...

Canuck veterans are getting pissed off. Miller, Horvat. So many temps right now and it looks a bit like pond hockey.
Yah, Green could have injected some enthusiasm with a couple different decisions but nope.
