Donny I'm so used to being a draft day bridesmaid that I wouldn't even know how to be the bride (that wins the lotto)

That stat above certainly does remind the reader that this is only the prologue of the story, the first chapter hasn't even begun

Yeah, like a hairless alien being Datsyukian, right? Stenberg probably ends up more Nikolaj Ehlers than Kucherov.

Given that we've never been in this position, I'd personally like to try something different for once... like getting a high-end CANADIAN talent instead.

That's another reason why the braintrust has got to go.

Because, all things being equal, you know that isn't the direction they will go.

They must be gone before the lists are finalized.

I like looking up at the rafters and reminiscing about our Scandinavian roots as much as anyone, but I'd like a shot at those 12 ft ceiling, local guys who can shotgun a six-pack of Molson's and then handle business in the bar or outside in the parking lot.

Sadly, I agree with edgy Megs. This milquetoast crew will serve us the same old tea and crumpets if given a chance. They'll forego selecting the golden goose(s) for some more magic euro beans.

They must be eliminated.

Doing the Conor McGregor celly... the kid has swag. You know what? I dig it.

I'm ready for us to have a star with some swagger. Would be a nice tonic to Petey's poutiness.

I heard he did the McGregor strut after knocking that kid out at the bar... and then followed it up with the strap around the waist celly.

Count me in with the taking McKenna if the Canucks are able. Debate really is, if 2 OA, who should the Canucks take?
