That is perfectly fine. Just don't ever bitch about the difference between McEichel and whoever we pick if we keep winning games. This is what you want so be prepared to deal with the consequences down the road.
I think come draft day the non-tankers will think differently. No offense but none of you will remember what happened on Feb.26 when you were happy we beat Vancouver. However, you will feel horrible when we are picking third or fourth.
So just deal with reality - it is best for this organization to lose. And if you are a fan you should want what's best.
I have about had it with "potentially". You know what " potentially" is? It is updating a players stats from his CHL games in '15-16. If it isn't McEichel then give me some NHL players.
Bring back Vanek, Pominville, Regehr, Sekera, Miller, Ott, Gaustad, Leopold, Erhoff, Myers, Stafford, and Kassian.
That group wouldn't have won 6-3 last night.
If we draft Hannifan one of Risto/Zadarov will be traded for offense. This is why I could see us potentially trading out of the third pick to the highest bidder that wants Hannifan.
I don't think we finish third either. I think this little streak of points is our final hoorah for the season.
I was just pointing out that if we finish third we can still pick fourth. Then again we could also still pick first. Jesus Christ I am loosing it.
I am afraid we are a bottom five team next year with or without McEichel. Just too many holes to fill.
If anyone thinks the difference between McEichel and the rest is not that big of deal just look back on this forum and see what trade offers many of you wouldn't accept for those picks.
If we finish out of the McEichel sweepstakes I could care less who we draft. Quite honestly don't feel like waiting to see how another players junior season is going. Just trade the pick to the highest bidder for NHL ready players.
If Neuvirth is still here next week AND playing every freaking game then I will be pissed. At some point Murray has to tell Nolan tough if you want to win.
