"Pep" talk

All this excitement, reminds me of this bad rap battle

 

[TD Charlie]

Given what I've seen of the picks and roster so far.... Not sure where Lauzon fits in. Seems as though Ritchie or Kase would have given more value as potential scoring forwards. Weird. Maybe more moves to come. This thing is dragging way longer than it should for TV.

i imagine they’ll use all this cap space next week as massive leverage though. As constructed, not impressed yet

Ewwwwwwwwwww. Did Fowler really say "Let's get Kraken?" Gross.

 

[Alicat]

So all the rumors of side deals and trades were false?

 

[Bruinaura]

Off to twitter for the aftermath

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

Giordano - Oleksiak
Dunn - Larsson
McDermid - Soucy

where does Lauzy play?

Montreal?

 

[Deal Law]

This was the shittiest event I have ever watched.

We don't know because ESPN covered this so poorly.

 

[EvilDead]

Was that past 90 minutes even real? I feel like someone is pulling a joke on me.

 

[The National]

I wish Bruins twitter was like this

It’s very expansion team-like but it can be fun.

 

[Bruinaura]

 

[chizzler]

Is Lebrun trying to make Montreal fans feel better after Seattle doesn’t take Price, with his article in TSN?

 

[EvilDead]

Off to twitter for the aftermath

I can only imagine people have nothing but positive things to say about this.

show respect to a classic!

 

[DKH]

No side deals ?

I think they are pretty deep. They are just missing a first or second line depending on what you consider the Eberle-Gourde line to be.

Don't love the goalies but considering the cap hit the 2 aren't that bad.

We badly need a LD and Seattle have a ton of guys who are in front of Lauzon and would look great on our roster hopefully we pry Soucy or Giordano away.

Francis has to have a lot more up his sleeve than these picks plus the regular upcoming draft. Beyond the D, he did more to fill out the AHL team in Palm Springs than a decent NHL team. He will have a ton of cap space to work with.

That made the NHL Awards look halfway decent

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Seattle selected some of the nobodies without a trade involved?

 

[LouJersey]

Joke is on us for watching it.

 

[The Laukomotive]

They actually drafted half of an AHL team without nothing in return?

 

[EvilDead]

No side deals ?

There wasn't enough fish in the fish market to throw around to announce all the trades
