We pick at 9th

Trade the pick.

Jfc. 9th.

Trade the pick. I'd call the islanders and work on a Dobson trade. Maybe they'll be willing to go full rebuild.

And we can't pick second so at least 8th right now.

In 14 years and we've never moved up in the draft. Never.

Sigh

Those changes came so fast we were barely able to digest it!

Lower than we want them to be, but higher than they should be.

And Terry Pegula does nothing. The world wonders.

Any conservative, who ever, under any circumstances, tells me they're pro life again, I'll ***** retort so much evidence you're just pro birth and frankly, I'll start with this. The Trump administration hates kids. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/05/nx-s1-5383871/trump-cuts-safe-sleep-sids-baby

Brady Martin ranks 10th here. I'll be tossing my current rankings now and re-doing them from scratch. I do this to avoid anchoring. What I've seen of Martin, he's got an NHL shot and he's smarter than your typical hits stuff guy. He's not dirty, he's just very skilled and using his body. The playmaking is fascinating to me and that's what's gonna make or break him as a top 6 center or a 3rd line 2way pk guy. Wheeler talks about Martin having a B and a C game to fall back on and I fully agree. I'm quickly warming up to Martin in the top 10. When I redo my board, there's a good chance he gets there. Anton Frondell ain't getting there though.

This man is nuts.

Marco Rossi might be available? Yes. Offer sheet his ass.

Was Tage named an Assistant Captain? I thought I saw that today but can't confirm it.

Ran the split on Martin between his first half (first 28games) and his second half (34 games including playoffs). First 28 games: 0.536gpg, 1.12ppg Final 34 games: 0.606, 1.32ppg Martin did score more points in the second half of his season but it isn't a massive upswing. It is good too see though.

Martin getting more love.

I'd toss Zeimer in there as well.

No one player changes a teams culture. You need multiple guys. Also, again caution on Martin. Let's not make him out to be some McDavid level or even Tkachuk level player. Let's under-sell a bit more than over.

Can't say yet. You're asking April questions that have June answers.

There's no real evidence moving down in the NHL draft is a good thing. Statistically it's not.
