I agree,actually. I think he could have gone anywhere from 2-5 though. Drouin probably goes before him in all honesty.

Well the top 6 are pretty small and weak. So yeah, there is something wrong.
- nanook82

Well yeah, but if somebody has an idea as to what to do then please share.

I'm fully aware that our top 6 are small. Thing is that we can't fix this team without screwing ourselves even more. We can't acquire a big, tough, 1st or 2nd line player (so a player like Malkin, for example) without giving up Gagner, PRV and probably a couple of our most valuable prospects for that player. THEN, we have to go back and try to fill those two other holes, which is just as difficult. We don't seem to be understanding this at all.

Why do you go to that pit of filth? Not like hockeybuzz is populated with MENSA members, but HF boards is like the special olympics without the sports.

I'm not a member, but I browse the prospects/polls sections when I need a laugh. The majority of them are insane...

I saw one Zorch on HFBoards suggest that Yakupov would have gone 9-12th in this years draft...

He probably would've gone 3-5 IMO. Before monahan and lindholm anyway.

How about...

He wouldn't have been any lower than 4

You're pursuing meaningless semantics and Im unsure why. The rest of my points are what actually mattered.

It was just a comment on the part I had highlighted. It wasn't a commentary on the rest of the post.

I'd say anywhere from 2-4.

Trade Hemsky for a 2nd or 3rd.
Package picks and prospects for one of Kulemin, Bergenheim,N.Foligno, Drew Stafford (okay maybe not,he sucks), Chad Larose....

That seems to indicate that Nurse will be a calder-calibre, future franchise defenseman! You should thank that guy for the good news!

At least it had hot Japanese chicks. Heard....how about:

Obscura- good band named after a solid Gorguts (QC) album

who cares.

dude's gonna score 30+ for us multiple times......

Mackinnon another Q product, Jones a fatty, Barkov not NA proven. Yak would have been top 3 without issue.

Yes I know that.

Thx for reminding me of what matters.

- laughs2907

He would have gone high, but, he was drafted number 1 in a weak pool.
In a year like this, he drops to 4. Normally, 1-3.

Nope. I only listen to late 80's ,early 90's thrash metal. Everything else since then is SH!T!!

I don't care at all, just happy we have him and those other 29 gay teams don't.

just sign him, no need to trade since he's ufa. 3rd/4th line right winger duty.

You know it's a weak draft when the Janitor gets picked somewhere in the first 3 rounds.

Yup very true, but before I continue I will point out that everyone is happy that we drafted Nurse... big tough d-man (compared to pronger, alright sure). Who knows if he'll ever develop, d-men are harder to predict. Just ask Tampa about Hedman, he was compared to Lidstrom.... oops.

We did however pass on the next Malkin in Nichushkin. This team is crying for big, tough wingers that can play hard and crash the net and at 6'4 over 200 lbs we pass??? MacT's second mistake. His first mistake...... Press Conference "Expect big bold moves".

Memo to MacT for off-season 2014..... Under Promise, Over Deliver.

Then you must like Coroner?
