Yeah, the contributions of Pasta (low 1st), Carlo (2nd) and Heinen (4th) seems to be overshadowing the lack of contribution (YET!!) of Zboril and Senyshyn.

Absolutely. Was just really surprised at how much higher Boston was compared to number 2, nearly double! And doing it with worse picks. Part of my surprise was due to my ignorance at how other teams were doing in the drafting department. I also think that this has to do with coaching staff among other things.

Maybe Landeskog talk again or talking about flipping Virtanen to the Bruins if the Canuck deal happens.

Or that Mikko Rantenen is a RFA and Sakic wants tips on signing him to a realistic number given the contract craziness lately.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

How nice of him to start at 2014 and not include 2013, which was, uh, underwhelming.

 

[BMC]

The Wild breakdown seems to be because Fenton wants his fingerprints on the team. He wants them to go in a different direction. Hard to do that working around the HUGE Parise/Suter contracts.

Yeah those deals really handcuffed the team. 15 million tied up in just 2 players, even though they are very good players.

More than likely not Hockey related at all.

 

[BMC]

At #30 I don't think we can expect much but perhaps someone will drop down, it happens sometimes.

Glad teams have learned from that mistake. I mean, who in their right mind would pay two players 11 million each.....

We wont get anyone shiny. But Boston has done really well will the middle tier drafting lately, so this might be the best for us. LOL

Ooof

I feel like the B's have been good at the late firsts/seconds. I have hope. They'll have someone on their board that they have ranked top 10 or 15 in which general consensus has late 1st and the Bs will just choose them.

I thought 2015 was the horror show...

5 years is a decent window and goes past Sweeney’s tenure as GM anyway

Never know, we got Pasta at 25, but I don't see that scenario playing out this year. (not that I really know anything about anyone besides the top 2 guys, lol)

 

[BMC]

OK let's get this show on the road!!

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Ooof

Soon to be 3 players over 10 million....

Yeah I always have trouble with the draft as I have all I can do to follow the Bruins, never mind the Baby Bs and draft prospects!

Oh that was more just me poking (puking) at the 2013 draft more that anything. At least 2015 gave us two really good NHL players (even if it COULD have been more)

 

[BMC]

The stupid is strong in Toronto, I don't see how they can do that without being in cap hell forever. 3 guys= 33 million. That's a staggering amount of money to tie up in just 3 guys. The rest of the team is going to be made up of scrubs.

[Coach Parker]

At the draft now!

 

[Coach Parker]

I could toss a pickle onto Sweeney if anyone wants, lol.

 

[BruinDust]

Friedman reporting from the draft floor the Leafs have extended Kapanen.

 

[BMC]

The Sedin twins look like they haven't aged a day.

I hate them.

 

[Chief Nine]

Wow Bettman is visibly pissed. Class fans in Vancouver

 

[Gator Mike]

I think I speak for hockey fans everywhere when I say... Markus Naslund has his jersey retired???
