This fits so many posts in this thread.

Wouldn't it be cooler if Hextall drafted K'Andre Miller or Rasmus Sandin over Jay ****ing O'Brien last year at 19th overall and then our ******* scouts didn't feel compelled to "restock the D prospects" by passing on Caufield for York?

Miller/Sandin & Caufield >>> O'Brien & York

I'll never be upset with upside picks, which I assume is what they saw JOB as.

 

[ELab2]

Our last six first round picks before York were all forwards. It's not like we've been drafting only defenseman for years.

They also have a bunch of forwards who will need slots in the next year or two (Frost, Ratcliffe, Farabee and some 3/4 line guys) and more they have to get under contract and have potential spots for (Laczynski and Allison). It may already be hard to sign the latter two, adding a Caufield/Krebs/etc would arguably make it even harder.

Since everyone else on here seemingly has their own pet prospect, I'm claiming this guy as my own, thanks.

They’re only upside picks when they hit their upside, silly.

His cuff links said, “**** the Liberty Bell” and “Justice for HitchBOT.” Stop being a sheep.

But it's what I do best.

I’d take 100 JOB-like reaches over 1 Ginning.

If a draft prospect is described as "a safe pick" or "a sure bet to at least be a bottom six/depth player in the NHL," there's a 100% chance he's not making the NHL

You can get those kinds of guys in FA.

The draft should be about trying to get impact players because typically if you don’t draft those guys you’re unlikely to get one.

Really seems like defending the blue line is a big emphasis. Good bye Robert son of a Mac master of conceding the the blue line

Reb went from full on Fletcher shilling to hot take maestro in a flash of an eye

 

[Flyotes]

A lot to like about the pick.

Not sure if he was at a funeral or the NHL Draft last night.

I'm unloading all of my pent up rage on this kid.

I've been bottling everything up trying to be positive because it's so early in the offseason and because Hak is gone and nothing can be worse than Hak.

It’s like they got Braun for free.

I like the way you think. I got an offer for you. You're going to give me for $2000 this year and $1000 next year. In exchange, I'm going to give you my Kia. It's got a lot of miles on it and gets poor mileage now, it only has a year left in the engine, and frankly the upkeep on it isn't something I can fit in my budget anymore. But all that's ok, because you can totally trade your brand new Accord to this guy I know for his new Civic and he'll give you 2 grand as well to make up the difference in value, so when you think about it, it's really like you're getting my car for free.

Deal?

 

[Rebels57]

But for real though, this kid won't ever play a game for us. Will be part of a trade within a year or two.

Rebel: Fletch has got this. We're a better team with Niskanen, Braun, & Hayes.
Also Rebel: Fletch drafted who??? That's it. I'm done. I'm going on a hunger strike until Fletcher is fired.

This is more or less accurate.

 

[Hockeypete49]

I have calmed down now and am OK with this selection.

 

[GKJ]

Perhaps someone can clue me in but why make this pick? Especially so if you've got Ghost, Provorov and Sanheim on the backend, I know you're drafting for the future but perhaps there was a forward who could be come in a lot sooner and be of impact?

They took so many forwards so high under Hextall, that there's never going to be a spot for all of them.

 

[Rebels57]

Hear me out..

We are going into win-now mode. We will be in trade market around the next few deadlines and offseasons. We are about to lock up two left-handed defensemen long-term and we still have Ghost for 4 more years minimum. Teams will be asking for York in trade negotiations. He will be considered expendable due to the age and makeup of our current defense.

Vegas traded Brannstrom.

Nashville traded Girard.

We are trading York at some point.

Hopefully we get a great player back and he helps us win a Cup. Then I don't give a flying f*** about anything anymore.
