Doohickie

In this case I thing it was true because Jerry Forton alluded to it too. It was actually nice to hear the interview with Forton; you can tell how passionate he is about scouting, and it brings back his interview where he talked about much things improved under Kevyn.

Or is that just a story he tells to make the player feel better?

Yeah, just found it. They traded the pick *and* Kozlov to the Thrashers for : 2002 2nd round pick (#31-Jeff Deslauriers) 2002 3rd round pick (#82-John Adams) Never heard of either one of them either.

What'd they do? Trade the pick?

Nope. Already forgotten. *goes back to the Home Improvement thread to see what @shrader is blathering on about* Oh, that? I thought it was an excellent remark! 😄

Oh I know Hasek wanted out but geeze the Sabres did it to themselves. Jim F-ing Slater? Dahell?

Jim Slater? I don't even know that name. The Sabres got fleeced.

How is wrong item the driver's fault (unless he's delivering to wrong address)?

Everyone is stealing @inkman's lines these days.

The grading I saw.... trying to remember who did it, gave the Sabres an A. (And gave the Leafs a D)

Thank you for your service

One thing I heard Forton say in his presser about Strback and McCarthy "mean, hard to play against kids." That's what I want to complement the higher end talent of Dahlin and Power, or filling out the bottom D pair: Mean and hard to play against. Forton was clearly very happy with the selections, like a kid in a candy store.

In the highlight reel I saw, I thought the same thing. At times it looked like he was toying with other players before blowing around them; that's a very Datsyukian trait. Stick handles like the puck is a yo-yo on a string.

Jerry Forton agreed with this take in his post-draft presser.

Holy crap, only three draft selections? Holy crap. That's no way to stock a pipeline. Toronto's gonna be in trouble in a few years.

Hmmm.... I have a Polish ancestor with a similar sounding (but Polish-fied) name. I wonder if I'm kin to that dude somewhere back in time (but not all the way back to Charlemagne)?

Nope. Already forgotten. *goes back to the Home Improvement thread to see what @shrader is blathering on about*

She doesn't want you to use your pet name for her in any other context, perhaps? *ducks and runs out of the room*

I'm looking forward to Rob Ray's pronunciation of it.

A Mule, huh? Mules are good.

You mean does he want to continue to live in his mom's basement?

Dammit, you're right.

I would expect this kind of post from @inkman

Bring Savioe up, then put him on Ice when Quinn returns

It seems like a greater percentage of defensive prospects come from Europe, compared to offensive prospects. So they tend to be invisible until they show up in Rochester.
