The Jokeman

Not many cuz the Ducks went curve ball.

Behind a great oline late round RBs can perform. When we had Hasek our D-men weren't great. I mean wasn't our top pair Smlelek and Galley?

No, goaltending wins championships.

Beniers' injury might have played a part which to me shouldn't have.

The clock in lower right corner.

Power's the safe pick but I don't think he's a great #1Dman like Pronger which to me is what need taking a Dman this high.

And I'd be happy about that, I can't see us getting value for Eichel. I also think Sam better moving at trade deadline if he only gets a one year deal as like to see him as a #2C that I've been hoping for since traded ROR.

But when NHL network simulcasted it, it was sickening.

It's better than the tsn coverage which focuses on Canadian teams at nauseam.

Why not Eklund 1 and a goalie at 14?

Not a fan of Ceulemans?

His brother coaching him at Wisconsin.

Na, we're going to take RHD Corson Ceulemans at #14 cuz of the Granato connection.

Maybe but plenty of good D-men in this draft and some could fall if we start the run on forwards by taking Eklund.

We still have Joki and Miller that are RHD.

There's your replacement for Borgen. Toss in we love us some Swedes.

*smh* Zemgus is not the guy want being part of the face of the franchise.

I agree I think Beniers is the best player available.

Do you think St Louis is glad they took Eric Johnson over Jonathan Towels or Phil Kessel in 2006? I'm sorry but the need to score is a bigger need to me. Good to great defenseman only as good as the goalie behind them.

We need to improve scoring and goaltending, Power doesn't do any of that. Even moreso if Jack, Sam and Linus leave. Drafting a defenseman with limited offensive abilities makes no sense to me.

Sam has said he doesn't want to be part of another rebuild so if Sam's going it likely means Eichel is too. *Smh* I hate this management right now if all this happens.

Why not UPL? J/k

From the New York Islanders the Kraken select C Kieffer Bellows. As he's a young kid who has some upside. He might not play every night early on but cheap depth with potential. Edit cap hit: $894,167.00

Eh these are all red herrings.

He's a top 6 forward that still improving toss in Minny likely needs to let him go to get Eichel and stay under the cap. I mean I get people liking Rossi but he's small and unproven but I want a NHL player back for Eichel and see Fiala the best option.
