if Lemieux has half of what his dad had, he will be a fixture on the second line that opens up the other two guys

you have not seen his dad play

hence much to learn

Love the Lemieux pick, we never had those type of players in the Blue/Gold?

I have vivid memories of Rob Ray mashing the old man's face like an over-cooked potato after he & Scott Stevens tried to gang-bang him with Stevens coming in from behind with blind-sided punches. Stevens was smart; he headed for the box when he saw Lemieux getting beaten to a pulp.

I'd be happy with a young roster player in return. He might be moved at next year's deadline.

He would prefer to stay East, so maybe PIT if they discover a hole, or maybe BOS at the deadline if their young D doesn't look prepared for a deep run?

Claude was a villain for sure, come playoff time he snapped into "whatever it takes" mode - which I want a lot of on this team.

you could add Thurman Thomas to this as well. Where did Reed finish? I can not remember.

There was a reason teams wanted him for the playoffs. Clutch and determined.

Hopefully Brendan's a chip off the old block

Once you get your name on the conn smythe, that pretty much says it all. The kid models his game off the old man. That's who I was hoping Kassian would be for us.

And by the way, like most on here I go off scouting reports for these kids. I won't say I'm an expert but I'll happily prognosticate based on draft profiles and scouting reports. I thought this was a good draft for us.

I would have said Bennett- just had a hunch that's who they'd pick though I wanted Reinhart. Guess I'd be rocking a Chris Stewart avatar or something.

Sending a giftcard for a local microbrew would have been much more dignified.

I'm happy with how it turned out, it's the same thing every (frank)ing year with us. We pass up a player and we get super pissed about it and then turns out it wasn't as bad as we thought. No more emotional reactions from me. Murray is in it to win it and I trust him.
- Tsyolin

Speaik for yourself. I'm still pissed we didn't take Nichuskin. Kid's a beast. Barbashev looks to be one as well.

Gotta like the pick on its face. Hope the kid hits potential.

We have enough euros.
We need some kids that can take and give a hit...North American style.

Did you see Barbashev play? He hits, fights, scores, and is sick at setting up linemates.
