Thorner Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 So if we draft Power, does he project to 2nd pair, after Dahlin? Is it a bit odd to devote a 1st overall pick to filling a second pair D role? Quote

Really not psyched about the possibility of him being the pick. Quote

Was it not discussed at least once, prior to tonight, what sort of tone would be appropriate to take should we win? Smiling and "proud" is not the appropriate tone when you've sucked this hard for this long. Expand Can't fault the smiling. Nothing he could do today about the finish last season. Most people crack a small smile even when just getting a free coffee or fries. But being "proud" of winning the lottery for which they had the best odds of winning PLUS the rabbit's foot that Taylor Hall brings wherever he goes seems to be a very poor wording choice. Quote

Flashsabre Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 You take the best player regardless of position. They should take Power, he is the number one prospect. Kid is Canada’s number 1 dman at the WCs. He went from no ice time to top minutes in a couple games under a proven coach in Gallant. The lineup isn’t strong but still an accomplishment for sure for a kid who hasn’t been drafted yet. Tune in tomorrow, they play Russia. If they are blowing this up then it is easier to get top end scoring prospects back rather then top shelf stud dmen prospects. And NO, Power isn’t Myers because both are tall. Power has great hockey sense on the back end which Myers never had a lick of. 3 Quote
