Re: Raking Leaves with David Ayers Zamboni
Back then rumor had it Mr Aquilini went out to Abbotsford to meet the Virtanen's and brought along one of his mama's fresh baked blueberry pies made with berries hand picked by his best Guatemalan field hand Jesus. I wanted Ehlers myself fwiw but given all of that I knew it wasn't happening.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 1:21 pmIf I had my choice of the bunch it’s Nylander 100%.

The injured Nylander had 3 goals in 4 games. Mitch the Bitch had 1 goal 3 assists in 7 games. Shameful. Absolutely shameful!

I was bouncing back n forth between Virtanen, Nylander, Ritchie and Ehlers. The adjustments were running wild!Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2024 8:30 pmBack then rumor had it Mr Aquilini went out to Abbotsford to meet the Virtanen's and brought along one of his mama's fresh baked blueberry pies made with berries hand picked by his best Guatemalan field hand Jesus.

Re: Raking Leaves with David Ayers Zamboni
I was leaning toward taking Ritchie at times myself. Craig Button scared me off Jake.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2024 8:48 amI was bouncing back n forth between Virtanen, Nylander, Ritchie and Ehlers.

Re: Raking Leaves with David Ayers Zamboni
I don't want to toot my own horn, particularly because I don't usually have strong takes heading into the draft - but in 2014 I figured there was probably not much value in hanging onto that 6th pick. I wanted to trade up for Draisaitl (probably impossible) or down with Anaheim (10, 38, 55) where we probably could have still wasted our pick on Virtanen. That said, I don't know who was on Jim's list between Demko and Tryamkin so maybe we would have just ended up with three busts instead of one.
