LOL its Score... they litterally have no hockey knowledge at all

 

[Micklebot]

wait... does the Score think that NJD are some sort of drafting savants now?

 

[pepty]

A disaster like trading up for Karlsson. If Karlsson was so good,then why would the Sens have been allowed to move up to grab him?
What were they thinking?

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

Wow. That is...a really ****** reason

One of the few times I think the Sens "won" the 1st round, in that they got the best value of any pick in the top 30 by getting Brown at 11.

 

[Benjamin]

So all teams that trade up are losers?

Says Ottawa is the losers here also.

Personally Brown was a target of mine even when he was ranked in the 20's. IMO Ottawa did what they had to do to get the player they wanted. They probably have an inside track on this kid since he spent time in Ottawa over the last few seasons working out with the club.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Who cares... the only way to guarantee that you get who you want is to secure the pick.

 

[Jorec]

I didn't know a third rounder was so expensive as to negate the benefits of getting the player you want. Lol at both those articles really, apparently it was so costly that even if Brown turns out awesome, Sens still lost.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Looks like those articles are catering to the HD mentality.

Don't give them the hitss/views.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Yeah, I mean how do you even rank winners and losers one day after the first round of the draft? It's just fluff anyway.

 

[Powdered Toast Man]

I will never forget you third rounder.

 

[Ouroboros]

Seems legit.

 

[2CHAINZ]

Oh no we lost pack it in guys

anyone pretending to KNOW what a drafted player will turn into is not worth listening to.

 

[2CHAINZ]

I'm surprised there is no reference to the Prince trade surely we are losers of that as well 12th overall + prince for Logan Brown.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

The Prince trade is upsetting because I wanted a line called the Prince and the Puempel.

That Brennan article will never fade. Idiot.

That Brennan article will never fade. Idiot.

But people really need to stop saying that Brennan himself said EK was a garbage pick. He didn't - he quoted someone who did.

Yeah, and? He could have quoted any number of fans, but chose that quote because it fit his agenda.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Funny thing is, most fans who closely follow these prospects and specifically Brown love it. Who dI I believe?

 

[mcnorth]

Yes. And?

Brennan was totally wrong about EK - that doesn't mean you attribute that quote as his words.

 

[Super Cake]

Biggest losers?

Just because we traded a 3rd round pick that has a 40% chance of becoming an effective NHL player in 3 to 6 years?

Give me a ****ing break.
