I'm behind on draft talk but did everyone else get cut off at 10 pm for ****ing track and field!?!
What do you guys think would happen if DD and Conte were put into a locked room together that had no windows?
They would play scrabble?
Conte believes the NHL bloodlines are helpful for a player breaking into the league. “I think it’s the culture,†Conte said. “You understand the hockey culture. You understand what it’s like to be on a team, what’s around the game. The game becomes more important than the hype above the game. That confidence and that modesty is very helpful to a team and it’s been largely inherent in most of our teams and it’s good for us.â€
I was pretty sold on barbeshev. He's not really the typical russian in a sense that he's been playing in North America for a few years now, he back checks hard, throws his body around and has a sweet pair of hands.
I mean what type of team do you think is being built here? Lou isn't trying to make a Washington or Pitt type team. His current model is more along the lines of LA and Boston with some old school Devil's flair. Strong in net, strong blue line (that can skate) and strong complete forwards. They can forecheck, cycle, and make plays and score.
Lou wants more Zach's, Zajacs, and Henriques. Not so much Kovy's.
Surprised Point fell all the way to the third and past us. Maybe no one likes his size.

5-10 / 160 isn't that small when you consider there are players much smaller in the NHL. Not unheard of a 18 year old going an inch or two.
Fabbri is 5-10 / 166 and he went in the 1st round.
Possible, but if he's strong in the legs he will make the bigs.
Its a shame thats too big to be a sig because that's brilliant.
your best post ever.
