I wouldn't do it for Shattenkirk. He's a very good defenseman, but he's not elite or a franchise defenseman. OEL has the potential to be, and is fast becoming one. Still not sold I'd move Giroux for him.

That's interesting.

Despite Holmgren's ability to draft good forwards, let's face it, Giroux's the lone guy that has shown the potential to be elite level.

I like Holmgren's chances of drafting another Giroux 100x better than him drafting OEL or even Shattenkirk.

We haven't had any elite level chances besides JvR and we missed on Patty Kane who is probably the only elite level forward in that first round.

Probably, but at the same time, you can't expect to land them often. Trading Giroux, you have to hit a home run. You can't get a double.

Giroux hasn't been as good as expected, but he's also near a PPG, which is hardly a slouch.

I was being sarcastic, although he hasn't quite lived up to expectations, he is far from the problem.

I know it's sort of crazy but if the NHL gets wind of that do they fine him? Kind of a Richard move regardless if it lands in beer or not. Too funny though.

Yeah, very ho hum reaction by the coach. I haven't seen the whole clip to see if he turned around and realized he bombed the guy's beer or what

Reminded me of JR. During warmups he flipped a puck into the stands, it knocked over a guy's beer. JR had the trainer get him some cash and he took it over to the guy to pay for the spilled suds
