The Stanley Cup has been kidnapped by Gary Bettman! Are you a bad enough dude to rescue it?

Austrian mook posted:

Bones is probably an okay bottom 6 forward

Better than that - he is clutch as gently caress. Is ready for 2nd line center duty with a team that is lacking in centers.

I didnt get to see the draft - why was the Tampa pick kid racist?

Also when did Ho Sang say cocky things that were quoted and used by teams as proof that self confidence is bad? Was it in interviews?

quote:

'how do you feel about playing for the canucks'

"it is what it is"

Off to a great start

I wonder what the Canucks (other than Garrison) and Flyers offered for the 1st pick

Do we see the Hawks trade for Thornton tomorrow?

So who is surprisingly still availble for the 2nd round? Claude's kid and Barbashev?

this talks about stuff he said in interviews but he also has some quotes that come off as cocky in there. he stated that the quotes were used out of context and seeing as steve simmons wrote this article i don't doubt that in the slightest. simmons and his probably-manipulative journalism notwithstanding, it's a pretty good read. even out of context nothing he says in there bothers me, if he's a football player that's exactly the poo poo you'd expect him to say.

id be happy to pick demko or nedeljkovic or kahkonen if they're on the board, we need goaltenders in our system. we should also load up with some D too though, probably. if we were to pick 2 goalies and the rest D with our picks and hope that something sticks that would probably be an OK strategy. there don't look to be a lot of solid upside forwards left when we pick.

nicholas aube-kubel is an interesting name though. didn't score a ton but had excellent p/60m. he's ranked 40th on the ISS list so he'll probably be gone by when we pick but if he's on the board we should grab him

Even if the things he said in the article were true, the teams passed on him for their own reason. I don't think a bunch of scouts and management would judge a dude based on a lovely article by Steve loving Simmons. They interviewed the kid too and he probably rubbed them the wrong way by his answers.

oh absolutely, i'm sure he gave off some of the same impression with his interview answers and teams had already made their decisions about him prior to the simmons article but it's stupid to say that you absolutely won't draft a kid because he's brash and self confident and then assert that that's somehow going to make him unable to perform as a part of a team when there's been absolutely no indication of that in his play

Based on what's being said in the media so far, teams judged Ho Sang based off the fact that he's black and brash and arrogant and heaven forbid we get a second PK Subban in the league and actually have some exciting players who aren't boring good old Canadian boy robots

Because he's the most offensive/flashy player in the draft by far. I've heard that about white players too. A ton people said it about Rob Schremp. Google the two names together if you don't believe me.

People like you are the only ones bringing up race. Also, I'm one of Ho-Sang's big detractors, so by your logic I must hate PK Subban, right? Well do a forums search and all you'll find is me signing PK's praises about the way he plays on the ice and acts off of it since before the dude was drafted. Not everything is about race.

He literally brought up that people do it because they hate guys like Subban. I used his example to show that that wasn't the case. I didnt pick a random black player and say "look I like a black guy". You guys are hilarious.

Thatcher Demko is really good. Freshmen are rarely starters and he was very good for BC. He's big and athletic, pretty much all you could ask from a goaltender. He's fairly acrobatic and we had zero goaltenders in the pipeline. I don't mind the pick at all.
