Barkov and Ekblad made me interested in opening night. While they maybe lottery picks, I think Tallon and Co. missed on some top-flight talent, and an opportunity to make a few headlines.

Tallon isn't here to make headlines. He's trying to build a contender.

There wasn't a McDavid or Eichel available at 11.

Crazy. Lawson Crouse was a guy that many had as a top 5 pick a couple months ago, he was a premier guy in this draft; that's the way the media will read it and we will get headlines.

LOL. Exactly, what is with all this "headlines" an "excitement" crap. Screw that. Tallon is trying to build the best team possible. Thats his job. Not to make headlines.

On this board, anyone over 6'2" is a slow, stupid, skilless buffoon.

Anyone under 6'0" is the next Crosby.

Bumed about not getting Mikko. Crouse is a player, you guys are crazy saying he will be a 3rd liner. He will get fed tape to tape passes from Barkov and easily put them through, he hits and fights he'll be an instant fan favorite.

If there is one thing we can agree on Viola and Co put on a great show for the draft. Proud of my fellow Panther fans for showing out loud and proud. Booing Boston, Montreal and Toronto, brought a tear to my eye.

I'm freaking so annoyed with the Avs. They legit always draft the people we want a pick ahead of us. Landeskog, MacKinnon, and now Rantanen.

From Tallon's post 1st round interview you can tell Rantanen was the one they really wanted. He even said that they were thinking about giving up an asset to move up to get him, but that they were content with Crouse.

Won't lie. Hated this pick at first. Was angry and pissed off at Colorado. But now. After reading more about him and seeing his vids. This dude will be a steal and will work out really well for us.

I'm still not sold on Barkov. I think Crouse is wayyy better than Barky.

Can we just appreciate one last time how bad Boston did today? Those trades and then drafting players that may have been available second round :laugh:

Also Bettman is awesome, and if anyone listened to Sportsnet Tallon said they know they have to win to sell tick- and then he stopped and said to sell the market to fans :laugh:


Appreciate Bettman
