Coaching change wont fix this ****** team. Connor McDavid, if he becomes what he is projected to be, can.

High end drafts picks have fixed it.

 

[Del Preston]

I voted Babcock. The only way he would come here is if he got full control and didn't have to answer to an idiot.

McDavid is a generational talent but this management group would find a way to **** him up. Eakins alone would probably suck all of his offensive talent out of him by his 40th game.

 

[PaPaDee]

How about a smart, competent leader?

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

McDavid then hire McLellan

Exactly. Oh, what a fantastic idea...Lets ruin McDavids development . Just like we did most of our young players.

McDavid. Heck, Hanifin looks like the best D to come into a draft since I can't remember.

 

[Spawn]

In what universe would these two things ever be mutually exclusive?

 

[Soundwave]

McDavid.

Tavares is making Garth Snow look smart in New York.

Our three 1sts are not of the same caliber as Tavares, and McDavid may be even better than Tavares.

RNH and Yakupov wouldn't go no.1 in any of the other draft classes, they're more like no.2-4 picks.

 

[Mc5RingsAndABeer]

McDavid easily.
Babcock still has Lowe and MacT

Hall is very close to Tavares just not a center. And actually with the way they performed in their final junior years, they would be guaranteed top 2 picks.

 

[Gone]

Should add Burke as a replacement for Lowe in there, i would take Burke over McDavid. Otherwise McDavid.

 

[Joey Moss]

McDavid.. The way I see it, a player with potential to be the best in the league one day (or one of the best) will make a lot of coaches look good.

Easy choice..

 

[thadd]

Babcock looks like a scary dude on the bench. I think he'd have the kids playing better hockey via benching their *****.

 

[Magnum23]

McJesus

 

[Connor McOilers]

Mcdavid. At some point (say 3 or 4 coaches ago) it has to become obvious that coaching isn't the issue. No one could get this group winning games, it's the roster that needs to improve.

 

[Jumptheshark]

I say we trade the pick

 

[Soundwave]

I say we trade the pick

I'd rather trade the other two "phony" 1st overalls in Yakupov and RNH first.

Unfortunately we don't know that because our management decided to hire back-to-back unknowns to coach our team. I'd like to see what a proven NHL coach could do with this roster before judging the players. There has been far too many questionable decisions I've seen with Krueger and Eakins.

Is this a joke? Nuge has been great this year. Thornton and Lecavalier took time so lets give our players time.

"Great"? Maybe for half the games.

Seguin is what a 1st overall should look like. Stamkos, Tavares, etc.

Hall should be the lowest end type of player you get with a 1st overall if you're taking a forward.

RNH is several notches below right now.

Seguin is having a great year but besides this year he isn't on a different level than Hall. Plus he plays with better players.

Yes Nuge is below players like them but he's a head of other first overall picks from the past.

 

[McGoMcD]

McDavid each and every day. our coaching isn't even that bad and a good coach can at best win 5 more games. McDavid would do a lot more for a lot longer time.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Babcock isn't coming here and given our luck McDavid will probably be Stefan.
