Maybe we pick before you guys? Then we can extort you guys for a player you're wanting...Tij is 100% gone when the Flames pick. 8 goals, 11 points in 6 playoffs games already. Clutch as can be.
Montreal is rumored to having met him already 4 times.
Yeah, I don't underestimate that Habs team ability to win meaningless games and end up picking 9th.We've got a bit of a nice cushion right now for 8th at worst.
I never would have thought this a couple weeks ago, but Ott/Ari/Mont are all within reach
6 games left.....whats the date for the lottery?

I'm sure our special assistant to the GM has met with Tij many more than 4 times.Tij is 100% gone when the Flames pick. 8 goals, 11 points in 6 playoffs games already. Clutch as can be.

There is a better chance he goes #2 than outside the top 15, and he won’t be #2. People are really overthinking this. Everyone and their dog knows he’s the best goal scorer in this draft. Celebrini may have more tools at his disposal to score a goal but nobody comes close to being able to beat a goalie clean with their shot like Eiserman. He’s also one of the youngest guys in the entire draft.We can and should stay away from Eiserman. I see him dropping out of the Top 10 maybe 15.
I'm hoping we get 6th or 7th pick. I think 1 or 2 of Montreal, Ottawa, Arizona could pass us.
If Iginla goes higher than 6th or 7th than we most assuredly get a very impact player in his place.
but I'm still hoping we can get Tij and Joe
Imagine an alumni game with:
Tij - Joe - Jarome
Daaang
sure but its too bad that no one would take those 3 assets in exchange for those picks.If we won the draft lottery so that we could take Celebrini.
Would you trade Vancouver's 1st Round Pick + Dallas 2nd + Kadri to move back up to around the Top 5-8 to get a swing at Iginla?
Its this reason that I hope that the Coyotes and Sens manage to get by us. picking 6th is where Catton fits.Catton is the player we should be aiming at here if it's a WHLer. Tij is the third best player on his line. I'm not saying he shouldn't go in the top 15, he should. But he shouldn't be a top 10 pick. For me he's kind of tied with Lindstrom in that 3rd or 4th best player from the WHL. Lindstrom has a higher ceiling and lower floor, very inconsistent but amazing tools. Catton is far better than Tij.
I don’t necessarily disagree that Catton could be the pick, but Tij is not the third best player on his line. He was named Kelowna’s MVP even.Catton is the player we should be aiming at here if it's a WHLer. Tij is the third best player on his line. I'm not saying he shouldn't go in the top 15, he should.

I'd say you haven't watched them play if you don't think he's the third best player on his line. It's obvious even to a hockey newbie. Cristall stirs the drink there, Szturc does all the heavy lifting. Catton is a much better player than Tij.I don’t necessarily disagree that Catton could be the pick, but Tij is not the third best player on his line. He was named Kelowna’s MVP even.
Well you would be incorrect, then - I’m quite literally watching the Rockets and Wild game on demand from the other night as we speak. And I’d question whether you have would have watched - or just gone the lazy route and lumped their top 3 scorers as linemates. He has been playing with Cicek and Gosjic all playoffs - not Cristall and Sturcz. I’d say it’s actually quite uncommon I’ve seen those three on the ice and the same time, save PP.I'd say you haven't watched them play if you don't think he's the third best player on his line.

Again, I'm not saying Tij isn't a good player. I'm saying he should be drafted somewhere between 10-15th OA and will go higher because of the last name. I'm saying don't draft Tij over Catton. Catton is a future top 6 C, likely a 1C. Tij might be a 1st line winger in the Cammalieri type.
No, you're blatantly wrong. He played with Szturc and Gosjic in the playoffs mostly, but they've mixed them up. In the regular season (sample size that actually matters) he played with Cristall and Szturc.Well you would be incorrect, then.

That’s a Skip Bayless-esque take.Tij is the third best player on his line.
