Crashes the Crease
He's the best kind of bad player you can have. He's the type of bad player who gets 30 goals.I concur.

Newsflash: it won't.This better be the last win of the year
Oh, and -- curly fries!!
It's not like it will affect the caliber of player that much either (in my view). Hughes and Kakko are obviously 1 and 2 but the odds of those two are low even if your the worst team. The guys after that are interchangeable in many peoples eyes, so they're all similar prospects. I know statistically there's a difference but if the Wings have let's say Turcotte at 3 and we pick him at 6 we still got him. Team's draft boards are super variable after the consensus top 2.Winning at this point is totally meaningless. The tank job is already done.
Last season I did get pissed of some wins, this year I don't care less, even though they would win all the games in the end.
There's just so many variables, first those lottery odds, and then team is draft go for their own favourites, and some 3rd ranked "zadinas" can be there at 6th-7th overall.
Enjoy hockey and don't whine about wins. Celebrate when other tankers will win, but don't whine when Red Wings will do it. It has been rare joy on latest years and it has 0.000001% effect on our next drated player.
And if the Wings draft at 6 and Turcotte goes at 3... yeah.It's not like it will affect the caliber of player that much either (in my view).

All aboard the Dach/Boldy/Podkolzin excitement train! If we're lucky we can get a winger or a zero pace big guy because size amirite
Yeah, but the goal is not to draft and develop exclusively top tier wingers. Not that they've actually done that, even though they've tried. This team needs to draft a center or a defenseman.You do realize that whoever we draft is immediately a player likely on par with Zadina, right? Turcotte goes at 3, okay, we will draft Cozens or Byram or Dach or Krebs or Podkolzin or Zegras. All are top notch prospects, and we will likely be in the running for Lafrenière next year.
The goal is to draft and develop top tier players. There’s a real possibility that one of those players you selectively listed end up being even better than Hughes or Kakko. We can hope for lottery luck, but unfortunately we can never force it to yield favorable results.

Blows my mind that half you guys wanted to trade Athanasiou for peanuts...
Pretty much 50%+ wanted to trade him away for a 2nd or 3rd rounder which is equivalent of lucky dip where you need 5 picks+ to have a decent player out of it.Peanuts? Who wanted that ?
