No. Avoid.

Tank for Matthews

Tank for Matthews

Oh, come on.

You've gotta come up with a terrible rhyming slogan before you can say that

 

[Wild11MN]

Lose a few for Ma-th-ew (s)?

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Logan Brown. 6'5" 215 lb center.

 

[DANOZ28]

im for targeting / picking another center. if logan brown can skate and is 6'6" i'd consider him at 30!

Oh, come on.

Season of blues for Auston Matthews



In all seriousness I think it's much too early to really speculate about the player we could draft where we'll (hopefully) be drafting

 

[Puhis]

Suffer and whine for Patrik Laine?

 

[Sharppi]

Future considerations 2016 preliminary rankings. I really doubt that Laine is going to drop that far.

 

[AKL]

We're gonna suck for Matt Tkachuk

10 points to anyone who can come up with a good tanking slogan for Chychrun and Puljujarvi.

 

[Sharppi]

Lose early for Puljujärvi?

No Fun for Chychrun?

 

[TZM]

I say we trade up with everything we've got if Laine is available outside top10.

E: Oh phuck, I just said WE. I cannot live with myself anymore.

 

[Lapa]

Bad run for Chychrun?

E: Puhis' one was better. Bravo.

I've been doing that close to a year now in casual conversation. Someone pointed it out when I was talking about Minnesota in Finnish and said "...we?" and someone else mentioned to him that it just goes to show Puhis has spent too much time among American sports fans.

 

[BagHead]

You guys are now "one of us"! Welcome to the team, gentlemen.

 

[Lapa]

I use we pretty often when talking about the Wild. Comes pretty naturally to me nowadays.

Laine should make the top ten, I think. He has played 9 games this season in Liiga, has scored 4 goals and 2 assists. Pretty good for a 17 yr old.

He'll be a top 5 pick. Matthews is better overall but Laine has to have the best offensive potential of the upcoming draft. That wrister of his is just ridiculous.

 

[gphr513]

Wow, looks like a good draft year for American players.

 

[TZM]

Wow, looks like a good draft year for American players.

Also perhaps the all-time best draft for Finns, atleast in quality.

 

[Dampland]

Oh, come on.

Play like Refuse for Mathews.

 

[Dampland]

Don't give a **** to get Tkachuk!

Play lax for Max

Stink up the town for Logan Brown!

BNTDPPA
