You don't understand analytics if you think that. Great. Let's trade for Laughton and hope he "feels like it" when he gets here. Btw, I simply posted the cards. I made no comment, but didn't matter.

Artificial intelligence, in this case llm AI, are not statistics. This comment doesn't make any sense. It's dismissive in order to be dismissive.

PLD is on his 4th change of scenery... maybe the stats are right?

God they need to shorten preseason to like 4 games max and start reg season Oct 1.

I really like Tedy Stiga at 43 if available. Dominik Badkina, Pulkkinen (he's a really interesting project), and Miettinen. I like Miettinen a lot. He's a 6'3" c/lw who is a solid checker and looks really good. He passes the eye test and if you're looking for a future 40pt 3rd line guy, he's a good bet. He might be more than that too. He transitioned to the WHL this year and with any league change, you wonder if the learning curve slowed down better or more production. Could be he explodes next year. Btw Miettinen still had 31g and 67pts in 66 games.

Hmm in the second, there's a bunch of guys I like. I'd have to think hard before picking one.

The Benson slide was anticipated. Catton is taller, maybe a center, better skater, and scored more in a draft low on forward talent. Still, anything is possible.

I totally hate his mock. It looks like a bad reddit mock where you've seen Buffalo draft a couple eruo players b4 so you just give them to Buffalo to get them off your board. Eliasson at 43 is just absurd stupidity imo. Btw, I don't think Catton slides.

Sabres finished the season 2-1 against the Islanders with a 4-0 win, 3-1 win, and a 3-2 loss. Bruins I suppose I can give you but we didn't play them after Dec 27th so idk if it was they were so tough and scary as much as the team was playing like ***** and riddled with injuries.

Adams and Forton pre-draft press conference, 6/20/2024
LGR4GM replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Personally I like that they were so lazy, they didn't even edit the 18mins of dead space to start the video out before posting. Gives me lots of confidence that this is a well oiled and run machine. @thewookie1eye roll away, IDGF. -

Adams and Forton pre-draft press conference, 6/20/2024
LGR4GM replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Adams talks about Krebs still being young and finding his way. Krebs said he thinks he can be a 200ft 2-way center in this league during exit meetings. Adams thinks its good that Krebs embraced that role and thinks he has good competitiveness and his mature mindset. Found it a telling statement and he liked Krebs commitment to things outside of just the offensive side. -

Forton on pick 11, more precise than what I said up-thread -
Jeff Skinner rumors, trade and buyout speculation swirling
LGR4GM replied to Flashsabre's topic in The Aud Club
Adams has most assuredly talk to Skinner and his agent about trade scenarios or I am totally misreading the subtext. Not that something is in the works but if it did come up, what would be acceptable or not. Others should listen to the question and answer to see if it seems I am hearing things though. -

Rate player first and then consider outside factors such as access to player and can we bring them to NA (in answer to talking about Russian and Euro guys) Forton says that Russian players have had development slowed down because NHL teams have less access and the players are not in peer on peer, best on best tournaments. Also notes that 6-15 has a list of players that is interchangeable (not for them but across the league based on traits and team philosophy). Says there is a bit of a drop after 5. Forton added he could see 2-3 guys that they have in the 6-10 range slide to 11. -

Adams admits that every scenario is on the table to get better in regards to if he is buying out Skinner. Said he wouldn't get more specific. Wide open to moving pick 11 or prospects. Adams would also look to move up or back in the first round. -
https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mnxepppEPAJX Just started Says Nightengale is an excellent pro guy and will continue in that role. Says not a ton will change in the day to day, just some structural stuff internally.

https://eprinkside.com/2024/04/09/film-room-michael-brandsegg-nygards-the-perfect-blend-of-grit-and-skill-in-the-2024-nhl-draft I find Brandsegg-Nygård a very intriguing option at #11. All of his metrics look good, the eye test looks great, and really the only thing missing is some more deception and passing. He's really old for his class, he's closer to Benson in age than he is Tij Iginla. The more I watch the more I am convinced this is the type of guy that sits on your #2 RW and helps you win playoff games. He's going to have a PK role and could be put in the AHL I think this upcoming season unless he has a year remaining in the SHL which is also fine. My biggest gripe is he needs to work on playmaking and seeing some of those options better in the offensive zone. Between his insanely detailed and polished checking game and excellent shot though, I think he's a 25g-30g RW with excellent defensive metrics at his peak in the NHL. He would help win you playoff games because he has that battle and motor. He's kinda like Tkachuk-esque.
