Draft Pick Push

[CupHolders]

1. You can't blame a team who picks 6 for not picking guys who are picked like 17th and 18th in the draft, Hatcher would be fair game.

2. Scissons pick I think gets wrongly panned. Simple fact is it was a case more of bad luck given Scissons injury troubles

I don’t blame them or expect all picks to “pan out.” My point is simply there is talent there to be found. Trade up, or down to get it. Exactly what the Devils did to get Brodeur. Ultimately it’s more on scouting and management than draft order.

Those year’s drafts were characterized by the Isles losing Devellano to the Red Wings. The Isles would draft WHL almost exclusively. Red Wings started to have draft success like pre-dynasty Islanders.

Devils had Lamorillo (Closest GM to Torrey, I feel) and with David Conte were an excellent drafting team.

Both teams subsequently ruled the nineties.

EDIT: I wanted Hatcher or Sydor. I was hoping for a Potvin replacement.

That Tampa loss was the perfect kind. Give me 7 more like those. Exciting games, but in the end a loss so we move up the draft ladder, lol.

I disagree, I want ugly ugly embarrassment in every game. I want it to be so bad theres no possible way Snow and weight survive. if we lose a few exciting games they can go oh man we lost some close ones, NO as much as I love a lot of the players i want to get embarrassed to force the necessary changes

Anaheim wins 5-4 in OT, SMFH.

 

[BossyMVP]

And annoy me.

So many years of this ****ing ****.

The other piece, if snow and co. are making the picks I don’t have much faith.

This x1000. I don't have confidence in our drafting ability.

Dallas is really crapping the bed, if they continue to lose the way they are their is a chance Calgary might overtake them

Big tank implications for Monday

Florida, Carolina, Rangers, Chicago, and LA wins would be great.

 

[boredmale]

Looks like the Oilers got at least a point(game going to OT), which puts them 2 ahead of us. Great thing is they have ROW advantage

ETA: Oilers lose in O/T. It was sort of funny Anaheim basically spent the first minute doing absolutely nothing in their own zone other then pass to eachother waiting till McDavid went off the ice the second he does they rush out of their own end and score

 

[SI90]

Carolina leading by 2 headed to the third.

Rags down 4-0 to the caps.

Carolina leading by 2 headed to the third.

Rags down 4-0 to the caps.

We need Chicago and LA to win tonight.

 

[SI90]

Would be nice if MTL vs DET went to OT and then they both go on win streaks.

Haha, you're greedy, I like it!

 

[SI90]

Haha, you're greedy, I like it!

If we’re gonna go for it we might as well go all the way!!!!

 

[boredmale]

Carolina is now only 1 point behind Calgary(and sort of out of our reach).

Best case scenario now would be 7 and 11

This might be the #1 tweet to discuss when realizing how bad snow has done. If not for Peter Chiarelli and lottery balls we'd be the Coyotes or worse.

 

[wingnutks]

Wait, when did we become worse than Edmonton?

We really aren’t too far off, truth be told.

 

[periferal]

Except that with snow in charge we will never get there.

 

[doublechili]

Well, it's taken most of the season, but the Isles are finally taking care of business!!

 

[doublechili]

We passed CHI and moved up to #7. What an exciting race!

 

[boredmale]

We passed CHI and moved up to #7.

Technically we played one more game then them so we are 8th. If they get the extra point in O/T we are officially 7th

ETA: So Chicago loses in O/T so we have the same amount of points but we played one game less. Now if we lose that game in hand they would have tie breaker advantage over us.
