Honestly just shut up. No one ever has compared Hughes to Crosby. If he compares to anyone, he’s Patrick Kane without the shot.

He’s a generational talent. This entire draft is 1-5. This isn’t Fricken 2012 with Nail Yakupov draft class. I promise you. Ducks are gonna take Suzuki at number 9 and the franchise is gonna wait 3 years before he can play. Getzlaf should be retired by then. And we can finally do a damn rebuild correctly.
So fricken disappointed in this team.

I'm thinking we will have a shot at either Zegras or Krebs.

Let's not rebuild and say we did
None of what you are saying makes any sense and yet you keep doubling down on it. Hughes isn't a generational talent. He's not even a good #1 in comparison to past years -- think a Hischier-tier.
And we don't need a f***ing rebuild... Getzlaf is like the only relevant player on our team that's over 30. For crying out loud.

Toronto needs more annoying fans, maybe join that fan base

Back on topic, I'm actually thinking we might take someone like Raphael Lavoie. He seems like a Ducks draft pick -- an intelligent centerman with size who's dropped over the past year -- and he wouldn't be a massive reach; just a moderate one.

The only solace I can take from this lottery is that the Kings fell 2 spots.

Maybe to appease Ducksgo we trade Ryan Getzlaf for 15 1st round picks and Taylor Hall.

I think my favorite part of Ducksgo's rants is how a guy taking three years to make the league is looked at with such a level of disgust.
My favorite part is when people ignore him instead of feeding the troll.
Calm the hell down. You don't know who Anaheim is going to pick and you sure has hell have VASTLY overestimated the top talent in this draft. There's a higher amount of high potential prospects littering the top 10 than usual but no one in this draft is clearly generational. The only prospects who had generational billing going into their draft years in recent memory were Ovi, some said Malkin, Crosby, Tavares, and McDavid. Either that or you have vastly overstated what a generational talent is.
Either way you need to relax and come to peace with the situation. Neither Hughes nor Kakko would have stepped in and immediately become the next Getzlaf as it is.

It's a two-way agreement, though. We feed him and he feeds us. :3

Or 9. If they take him at 9 it means our talented scouting staff thinks he's the 9th best player at the very least, and they've completely earned that trust. But it would also drive many people insane because they haven't figured out the draft yet. It's a win-win.

I ignored him awhile back and I've never been happier

There’s no reason to not actually show the balls come out. Way more interesting and a very easy way to get rid of the tinfoil hats but year after year they refuse.

I wouldn't hate him as a pick. He was the best player on the ice tonight. His first goal was an absolute snipe from the top of the circles. I would prefer a playmaker over another big scorer, but he will be a player.

Personally, I just hope we avoid a player that projects to be a power forward type player. With Jones, Ritchie, Comtois I feel like we're set on those kind of players.

I'll give you flat earth, but theres at least a logic to the moon landing one, even if it is dumb. Theres no logic to the idea that the NHL rigged the draft lottery so they could give Taylor Hall's team all the first overall picks.
They do show them coming out, just not live on the broadcast. And for good reason, it would be incredibly anti-climactic and overall boring. There's absolutely no reason to kowtow to the tinfoil hats, either.
