I’m still pissed about HardieWanted DeBrusk to play with Krejci damn you
The winger run forced it for me, I was set on taking a winger until 70% of every recent pick became a winger lol. I’d rather draft a dman I like instead of a winger I’m meh on at this point of the draftLHD has gotten very thin in the past 15 or so picks. Funny how often a chain reaction happens in these games when one position is picked suddenly everyone is picking from the same position
I'm glad that Hronek plays for Detroit because it gets him underrated and I can snag him late, but I am sad because it means he may get underrated in voting too.
Nah, McNabb is good value.I like Carlo, not so much McNabb. But if he gets some decent offensive D from here on out it can still be a really solid D group.
That’s a dope lineEnjoying my DeBrusk-Kuznetsov-Pastrnak top line.
I had Dunn-Bear as a pairing last game, where were my votes?Jesus f***ing Christ. I hate everyone right now.
People I was hoping to fall in rough order:
* Jordan Staal
* Travis Sanheim
* Vince Dunn
* Ethan Bear
* Kailer Yamamoto
* Filip Hronek

Carlo averaged the exact ice time Krug did last year so what does that tell you? Being a "puck moving" defenseman doesn't mean a whole lot when you're in your own end. For the record, McNabb was a reach at that point IMO but it's not a terrible pick and that's a solid defense Blinny is building.

Even though Carlo can skate out the puck with poise at times while both he and McNabb can make simple-to-medium difficulty passes, neither of them specialize in moving the puck, carrying it out or finding ways to beat a heavy forecheck. They're both fine.
My post that they would be caved for being unable to move the puck out wasn't entirely serious, but it does point towards the NHL-wide move towards always having at least one blueliner on at any given time who is good at transitions. Again, those two are just fine.
Now change Krug for Giordano lolJust checked to confirm suspicions: Carlo and Krug spent 50% of their EVTOI together last season, so my statement checks out.
Yea even strength. How much PP time does Krug get compared to Carlo?Just checked to confirm suspicions: Carlo and Krug spent 50% of their EVTOI together last season, so my statement checks out.
What are you even trying to argue? Because it's definitely not what I said.Yea even strength. How much PP time does Krug get compared to Carlo?
You said they would get caved which is just so far off. My point is correlating points with puck moving ability makes 0 sense and maybe you didn't say that when you quoted the original but that's where the debate started.What are you even trying to argue? Because it's definitely not what I said.
All I said was that McNabb-Carlo, if put on the same pairing, would struggle to get the puck out of their zone compared to a pairing where they would have a better puck moving player (e.g. Giordano).
