Prospect Info: 2013 NHL Entry Draft [Part VII] Offense: "We Want More, We Want More." 11 Days Remain

If we draft Jones I'm so done with this team

I was unaware my sarcasm was undetectable

What if he turns out to be a multiple Norris Trophy winner for us? Would you still be done with the team then?

EDIT: LOL, didn't see your sarcasm until I quoted you.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Well if their scouting department sees MacKinnon as a franchise center it isn't. They then could trade Ennis for help elsewhere, include Grigorenko in the proposal for the #1 pick, etc. They also have Johan Larsson who is a good center prospect.

As I said the cost won't justify trading for the 1st pick, especially considering there's reason to believe you could get Mac with the 2nd pick.

Yeah, well MacKinnon doesn't even have a 2.0, therefore he's too big of a risk for the Avs to draft.

Yes, there is his name is Crosby.

Maybe they don't think they can get Mac with the 2nd pick.

 

[AvsRobin]

I think I want Jones. But if we are getting a forward. I honestly want Drouin.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Maybe they don't think they can get Mac with the 2nd pick.

If you going to take a big risk by trading half your team might as well take slight risk and see if he "falls" to you at #2. Worst case scenario you have Jones at half the price and then turn around trade him for a Seguin. You could even save your self the heart attack and just offer that package for a Seguin.

I'm guessing most people think it's Mac because the saber fans want him but I doubt Darcy does. It just doesn't make sense from a teams perspective.

Well your half way there.

Yes, there is his name is Crosby.

McDavid is probably the 2.0 of Crosby. MacKinnon is a different type of dude.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

McDavid is probably the 2.0 of Crosby. MacKinnon is a different type of dude.

It was complete sarcasm I don't think he'll even come close to being that good.

I forgot about McDavid the new kid on the block another reason for Buff not to go full Pejorative Slur and over pay for Mac.

i know it was sarcasm. i was following along by saying MacKinnon was a different type of dude.

My bad that went way over my head.

As long as they don't give us their 2015 first they can still get him.

My sarcasm > Your sarcasm.

 

[JWK]

Did we draft Jones yet?

 

[LazRNN]

Jones is so EJ 2.0

Doesn't 2.0 imply an upgrade?

Maybe Hedman is EJ 2.0 and Jones is EJ 3.0.14832m.

 

[Freudian]

Did we draft Jones yet?

 

[Mr Serious]

Did we draft Jones yet?

Nope. Drafted MacKinnon

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Who do you guys think will be better when its all said and done between Mackinnon and Tavares?


Personally, I really think Mack will be just a tad better.

They will be different sorts of players, but I think Tavares will be better.

I think Mac won't put up the numbers Tavares puts up but Mac will be the better complete player. Tavares' skating lacks and is a little softer than I'd like. MacKinnon can flat out fly and play a physical game. He's a Crosby-lite in that respect that he's an elite skilled "grinder"

No team plans their draft strategy based on who's available in next years draft, let alone two drafts away like McDavid. There's absolutely no guarantee Buffalo ends up with the 1st overall pick in 2015 and gets McDavid.

Not sure how I missed this one. Sorry if it has already been posted. Amazing to me that a guy his size can skate like that.

He's the Shani Davis of hockey.

 

[Avs_19]

Dater likes to throw Crosby's name around as well but I think MacKinnon is a lot closer to Duchene than he is to Crosby.

I would go in this order (based on potential):

1. Tavares
2. MacKinnon
3. Duchene

 

[Mr Serious]

Dater likes to throw Crosby's name around as well but I think MacKinnon is a lot closer to Duchene than he is to Crosby.

Agreed. Comparing MacKinnon to Crosby is way too far fetched.

 

[Foppa2118]

Not sure how I missed this one. Sorry if it has already been posted. Amazing to me that a guy his size can skate like that.

It's not only his skating, but the way he can drag the puck around on a string at that size with his wingspan and long reach, with his head up at the same time that is really impressive.

Add his great vision that helps him on the breakout and decision making from the point, to that talent level and athleticism, and you can see why he's so highly touted.

 

[Foppa2118]

Dater cracks me up. He comes up with his own trade scenario with Buffalo of Ryan Miller, center Mikhail Grigorenko, a defensive prospect and the No. 8 pick to the Avs for the first pick.

Then goes on to say "if he agreed to it, Avalanche executive VP of hockey operations Joe Sakic should deservedly have the shortest tenure of any hockey executive" and begins to explain why the Avs don't need Miller or Grigorenko.
