I'll never be upset with upside picks, which I assume is what they saw JOB as.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
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.Our last six first round picks before York were all forwards. It's not like we've been drafting only defenseman for years.
They’re only upside picks when they hit their upside, silly.I'll never be upset with upside picks, which I assume is what they saw JOB as.

But it's what I do best.They’re only upside picks when they hit their upside, silly.

I’d take 100 JOB-like reaches over 1 Ginning.They’re only upside picks when they hit their upside, silly.
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 NHLI’d take 100 JOB-like reaches over 1 Ginning.
You can get those kinds of guys in FA.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
looks like a deer in the headlights guy on his wedding day
Reb went from full on Fletcher shilling to hot take maestro in a flash of an eye
It’s like they got Braun for free.
is this the, i'm going to college and can refuse to sign an elc look.
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.
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.
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.
They took so many forwards so high under Hextall, that there's never going to be a spot for all of them.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?
