It’s absolutely mindboggling that Edmonton passed on Debrincat - who had been McDavid’s junior linemate - with the #32 overall pick in 2016.

If they took a Dman I could understand, their D needed help but they took a winger.

I know this sounds crazy but I low key wanted him with our 5th overall pick. If I was the GM I would have traded down and snagged him.

RE: Debrincat

Hey, you know that guy who put up a 100-point D-1 and D-0, the latter of which was done without Connor McDavid?

He's... he's short. Let's skip him lol

Wild just traded Coyle to Bruins, rumored for Ryan Ronato and a 5th round pick.

Why would the Wild do this to themselves...

We may have the worst group D group in the NHL but the Ducks will take the cake with the worst group of 30 + contracts period.

They’re in great shape cap-wise with most of their mid-20s core locked up long term on sweetheart deals.

The Kesler deal is horrific and will probably be bought out this summer.

Ierno if I'll get over the fact that the canucks could have taken obvious-potato-pick Debrincat instead of trading that pick for freaking Gudbranson.

LA is in far worse shape than Anaheim.

Took the literal Edmonton guy: Tyler Benson. Nice to see Benson is having a decent AHL season though.

Well I had a good reply that my phone just deleted. I meant players over 30 years old and think of the group of Henrique, Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler at their prices will be horrid after next season.

You really think they can buyout Kesler with 3 years left?

They'll buy it out without a second thought. Perry and Getzlaf two years left, not a big deal. They have everyone signed who needs to be signed. They are in perfectly fine shape.

Look at LA if you want to see a horror show.

You could see it coming, Anaheim gambled hard that Getzlaf, Perry and Kesler could last a few more years. Given his injuries I wonder if Kesler doesn't get another surgery followed by LTIRetirement rather than a buyout.

What is this YESTERDAY?!?!

 

[hellstick]

What happened to Ryan Donato? He was the talk of HFBoards a year ago.

While we're at it, what happened to Clayton Keller? Did he die?

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Keller leads his team in scoring as is still only 20 years old.

4 points in the last 12 games though, pretty mediocre numbers overall. I didn't realize he was leading Arizona in scoring though. That's kind of sad. Anyway...

It is hard to put up points when those around you aren't. Given him a quality player or two on his line I think he'd bounce right back.

He's 20..

Wonder how much rope Murray will be given (since he was the guy that gave him that contract) after that expensive buyout?

Benson was a solid pick at 32 actually.

There was a reason Debrincat fell to 39, hindsight is kid of 20/20 here.

I mean if the Canucks had kept their pick do you think that they would have taken him?

 

[Hansen]

Cant stand it when refs get in the way of a fight

There were rumblings around the time that our scouts were high on him.
