The Group Think blacklist?

I certainly think so. Ginning is a much better player than some here give him credit for. But he’s not the type of player they like (Corsi!) & they hold a grudge over his being selected 50th overall. Oddly, some of the same people have been Morin fans.

I see Ginning as a very smart defenseman who is good positionally, rotates coverage well, uses his long reach to his advantage, & who will be a pretty solid skater by the time he reaches the NHL. But some think you need six puck carrying defensemen & then you’ll never have to play in your own zone.

The game situation where it happened just makes it 100x funnier.

That's the kind of time when a Ginning-type is seen as useful and someone like Ghost would be benched.

You know, since puck moving doesn't matter.

Who gives a cup provided he hits and protects the net.

Oh, he doesnt do that either?

Wow, one terrible play! He definitely won’t play more NHL games than Vorobyev now! Bet remains on the table.

If Ginning has a career as good as AMac, he's a solid pick at #50.
Not every draft pick will be a star, but 586 games with a career GAR of +23 ain't bad for a 3rd pair defenseman.

I'm not gonna pretend like I've seen much of Ginning, but jesus christ that is an Amac level play lol
I'll take Cates here.

Edit : oh my God I just realized that was with 30 seconds left in a 1 goal game. WOOF.
Not just Amac-level, Amac-style too.

Bad pass, useless starfish, goal against. It's like his signature move.

If this was in a Flyers jersey I'd be 100% sure it was him.

Yeah but as a 2nd rd pick, we should be happy if Ginning becomes AMac and is awful for 500 games. So I read.

Maybe I’m just a dumb 12 year old, but I kinda feel like quality is more important than quantity...

But hey, I also think scoring matters, so what the hell do I know?

As Hagg has proven, you are better off drafting a complete flop like Laberge than being fooled into thinking a guy can be an NHL role player, slid into your top 4, play the last minutes of games, play on the PK, play with your best offensive players and leaking all over the place...unless of course, you know when to sell high.

#48 Hart
#52 Allison
#48 NAK
#41 Hagg
#45 Stolarz
#41 Kevin Marshall
#42 Mike Ratchuck

I'm going to vote Ginning ...

and, then, shun myself. :D

Seriously, Ginning wouldn't have gotten my pick in the second round, but some scouts who saw him a lot liked him, and the error variance on these kids is so high, especially after the first few picks in the first round. You never really know until a few years out.

After all the talk and reaction, it would be fun to see this kid turn into a valuable NHL player.

Scoring and keeping the puck out of your own net both matter...
