Damn, I don't ever think I have ever seen this board more happy.
Me happy too.
I was ecstatic when we won the draft lottery but I'm extremely satisfied with everything so far, from our picks to our trades. If Rant does play I'd imagine he'll give every chance to play with Duchene/Mackinnon (whichever he clicks with more)
...Also to note is that he won't be as difficult to sign I'd wager, anyone find it odd that players like Dutch and Landy signed hometown discounts to make sure our team stays competitive but RoR didn't? I don't, they actually
want to be apart of the team. A guy who grew up watching the avs? Nothings for sure but he SHOULD be easy to sign even if we push him to ufa as early as age 25.
edit: something that makes me VERY slightly nervous is the swede/finn thing, I really don't think Landy is that type but I still wonder if something will be there between the two in the future just due to reasons.
