Broken Ankles Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 On 1/13/2025 at 4:31 PM, PerreaultForever said: This is true, Columbus has used their picks to draft a wide array of different types of players and we have many times drafted the same guy over and over which leaves us lacking in many areas. We assumed the idea was BPA and then trade the duplicates but so far little of that has taken place. Savoie out with Benson in as mentioned but that's about it. LGR and Perreault agree. I have a dream that one day down in Buffalo with its vicious fans, with its GM having his lips dripping with the words of taxes and palm trees, one day right down in Buffalo little Canadian boys and American boys will be able to raise hands, during the wave, and boo this team soundly. I have a dream today. 1 Quote

I have a dream today. We've actually agreed a couple times lately. It is clearly the end times. (or more likely some things these days are just too obvious) Quote
Porous Five Hole Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 I thought this was interesting. Any idea why? More backups playing more frequently? Quote

Sabres73 Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Jeff Skinner is being healthy scratched tonight for the third straight Oilers game. Quote

Hockey suck at talking about skating. Saying "Skinner skating is average at best" is just so lazy. Skinner has great edges and balance, he's not fast and that's what the writer means. It's the same ***** Pronman pulls. Not fast doesn't mean can't skate. 2 Quote

LGR4GM Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 For anyone who cares, Zach Benson is ranked 83rd behind both Peterka and Kulich. Owen Power is also ranked here about all 3. Maverick Lamorieux btw is ranked 47th which is hilarious. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 It has the word man in it, but are we sure Pronman is even a human anymore or just a conglomerate machine of previous posts and rankings? 1 Quote

He writes profiles in the draft year and then skims stuff there after to "update" his ranks while just regurgitating his draft profiles. 1 Quote

steveoath Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 The full pronman list is actually hilarious 1 Quote

There are countless players on that list ahead of him who have never even seen NHL ice and are 20 in jrs that he's fawning over. Could you imagine Benson in jrs right now? Game would move so slow for him he'd be a 2ppg player. 1 Quote
