I thought we've established that Mëds is an auntie with a loaded purse?

Who likes to go after Swedes? Must be this one:

Geez, Warren Foegele only brings back a second and an upgrade on a turd.

Dallas gives up a turd for Michael Bunting.

This playoff cap has ruined the frenzy.

Any of the top 3 are phenomenal additions. That giant defenseman may end up being the best of the bunch for all we know

Very true. Hard to know how these players turn out down the road.

When the Avs finished last in 2017 and dropped down to 4OA, who knew then they'd actually end up with the gem of that draft in Cale Makar (btw, for about 5 years we too we did pretty well dropping from 2nd to 5th and ended up with Petey..a little different outlook now). Philly "won" that draft lottery going from 12th to 2nd OA and ended up with *cough* Nolan Patrick.

So who knows how things will shake down even if we lose the lottery. All I know is I prefer to have a 1OA for once in our pathetic history. Just one damn time during these bleak years for hope sake. For that matter if I could pick one year to have a 1OA, I would easily forego this year's for next. That stud D is looking crazy good.
