Ask Chiarelli what drugs he was on when he drafted Khoklachev instead of Saad.

Why not ask Bowman what kind of drugs he was on when he drafted Mark McNeill, Phillip Donault and Adam Clendening before choosing Saad;)


We could do this all day, never will I defend Chia and his staff as being the top drafters out there, but EVERY team passes over players who wind up being gems, there isn`t one team out there that doesn`t have loads of players picked who the scouts/GM had big plans for or they thought would have legit careers who wind up doing nothing for the organization, the draft is a crap shoot outside of a few "can`t misses" and even some of them, in my time, have been disasters


What Koko ends up becoming is still being told.

Let me get this straight: you're actually going to sit at the Bruins table during the draft? Unbelievable. One of my fantasies.

Since you'll probably be told to sit still and leaf through the Red Line report during the process, it's still amazing to witness the discussion. You may have to sign a confidentiality statement, but I hope you can relay some of the flavor of the dialogue at the event.

Lucky guy!

Ask/remind/pester them to move up in the 2nd round to get Hunter Smith.

The guy is too good to be true. Amazing size, a name that fits the size & style of play, and lots of potential. Hunter Smith, what a great hockey name.

Anyways, congrats on getting to play footsies with Chia & Neely at the draft. Shoot some spit-balls at the hab table. :yo:

I have no idea what: "Follow Team of Choice" means... I'm on a company CC right now and the NHL just called me (I love saying that). I need to call my guy back and inform him who we want to follow, I'll ask what this means.

I doubt I get to sit at the draft table, if I do get to and you see two 6-3, ~170 lb, white guys (that look like twins) sitting oddly at the draft table, that's my brother and I.

I'm 32, he's 26. We both look like 30 year old twins.

Was considering going myself...I'm from NJ and wanted to act like I was going "home" to see family but head to the draft in Philly :laugh:

You there yet???

Just got back to the hotel.

Awesome day overall. I spent about 2 hours following David around after Boston drafted him.
Very very friendly guy. Out going. Funny. And he has had to fight through a lot to get here. He moved to Sweden when he was 15. He lost his father last year.

I'll provide pictures (a crap load) and much more detail later.

My brother and I closed the night drinking beer with pete, coach and Don.

I'm going to the draft again Saturday. I fly to Boston late so I might not have a full write up until Sunday.

Oh, so now your onto a first name basis with Chiarelli and Sweeney.........resentment and jealousy has officially gotten to the boiling point:sarcasm:

Sounds like you had a blast, ya lucky bugger, gotta ask, did any of that trio pick up a round or were all playing the "I left my wallet in my suite card"???:)
