Koopa Kid posted:Any discussion of the 2015 draft compels me to complain that the Leafs traded down the pick that the Flyers took Konecny with to select Travis Dermott (one pick before the good Sebastian Aho) and Jeremy Bracco. Dermott's turned into a replacement level bottom pairing D and Bracco sucked rear end. That was the draft where they kept trading down because they desperately just wanted picks because Nonis had left the system so empty.

WeaponX posted:Devils are many, many pieces away from being good and are prolly going to be bad for awhile but having an elite center prospect like Hughes makes all of that easier to deal with. He is really good. A few moves, a few years of improvement, and they could reach the heights of Buffalo

It's good that there isn't currently a significant case showing that on-ice transmission is possible. Otherwise playing tonight might be imprudent.

The Dirty Burger posted:Honestly since Matthews in 2016 all of the first overall picks have been pretty underwhelming so far, would be nice to have another superstar to watch in the league. I hope he’s a bigger hockey robot than Sid and McDavid too Shane Wright, one year ahead of Bedard, is also an exceptional prospect. Last year for his age 15 season he put up 39G 27A 66P in 58 games for Kingston, which compares pretty well to McDavid's 25-41-66 in 63 games and Tavares' 45-32-77 in 65 games.

https://twitter.com/markhmasters/status/1382705291645620233 No Auston Matthews in the line rushes today. He had the plague last year, so it's probably not that. Hopefully it's not his wrist bothering him, though anything that forces him out of the lineup is worrying. e: Second line of Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Hyman is dire. Any team missing its two best forwards will look dodgy but, you know, maybe Hall and not Foligno addressed a more significant area of need for this team.

Might be worth a try there instead Watching the last game it did strike me why Dubas' approach to the trade deadline seemed to be "it's important the team give up no more than 15 shots a game.) Spelling Mitsake posted:Old hockey arenas rule, why do people want restaurants and poo poo at a hockey game? It's half creating a 'luxury experience' to justify charging a zillion dollars a ticket, and half tickets are so expensive you gotta provide more for people who are coming all the way in from the suburbs.

So he would've scored the game winning goal in every series.

ThinkTank posted:Yes but in hockey if a coach wins a cup once they are employable forever. Mark Crawford sole cup came when he coached a veritable Allstar team in the 96 Avs to a cup 25 years ago and he's still regularly mentioned as a candidate for open head coach positions. Mike Keenan had an NHL coaching job as recently as 2009.

Spring Break My Heart posted:There's also just this backwards explanation of who is responsible for a team winning the Cup. You could have the softest team in history win the Cup and writers will attribute it to some 10 minute a game fucker if he happens to be 6'4" If the Leafs win the Cup this year, at least two writers will attribute it to Wayne Simmonds.
