Yep, I can see it...the hairstyle is an exact match:

it's not just the hair style, although that's the most important similarity. shape of his head, and even his face just makes me think of those things.

because pucks don't taste as good and they're difficult to chew.

(just a guess)

i wouldn't mind if it meant getting a shot at a guy like Domi with the later pick. Guess it depends on who is available at No. 11 and whether that's their guy or whether they have their eyes set on a guy they know won't go at No. 11 and will be available a few picks later.

I don't have a specific favorite player that I'll be crushed if they don't get. They could possibly trade down to 14 and add a pick at 22 and end up with defenseman Josh Morrissey and goalie Zach Fucale.

why the ducks? salami?
- hammarby31


because they are virtually the only team other than the flyers where i don't dislike a player. While Perry bugs me, i.e. elbow, i dont harbor much ill-will. I really like Selanne, fasth, hiller, vatanen, koivu, ryab, sbisa, etem. i watch them a fair amount.

edit: plus i want them to beat the Caps and have Boudreau drink bbq sauce out of the cup on the ice.

How many would be open to trading down? Let's say Columbus was willing to deal their pick and the Rangers' 1st rounder for the 11th pick. I'd definitely be listening to offers to move down, so long as it involved getting another first rounder.

Agreed.

i watch them a lot too. and the fasth story is intriguing to me. never really a hiller guy. i don't like his hat or his 20 foot long straight as a board pads...JfC every (frank)ing little thing bothers me.

Again.

Kings.

Pens.

Pens win in 7.

I cry.

My wife divorces me.

I end up losing my house in the divorce.

I drink until I run out of money.

I sell my body for money.

I end up like this.......

the only team that i'd be happy to see win it is Anaheim. I wouldn't mind LA repeating (though I know that's not the most popular opinion in the room) or San Jose. Everyone else i would not like. Except maybe the Wild, but I have a hard time thinking of them at all.
- wilsonecho91



I'd love to see LA win it again.

i was also thinking the team could put bbq sauce in a gatorade bucket and dump it over his head when they win.

The Jackets hold the 14th pick, and have both the Rangers and Kings 1st rounders.

If Poluck is available at 11 would you still do it?

I have a hard time saying yes personally.

If Zadorav is still there do you still do it? I feel a bit better but still shy away from it. I agree they need to take the best player available but if they are getting a F I say yes to trading down unless a Nichuskin type player has dropped that far (extremely unlikely).

I think I'd be willing to move down 3 spots for another 1st rounder. Providing they can still get a good player there.

If Poluck is gone.. I almost certainly look to trade back.
