Exactly. He had enough talent to once be considered an elite (possibly franchise) player and 1st overall pick. He fell because of a (not so) poor playoff performance and because of questions about his compete/effort/whatever and now that he has shown that he does have the motivation and compete level, I am of the belief that we will soon have a player closer to the scouting reports. I would also rather have him than Yakupov.

Eggzactly. Still too soon to tell. I'm hoping he does turn out.

Thank you!! Is it always on this channel?

Yes. Pregame on now

Do you think Colorado cares that they didn't draft risto? ...we wouldn't either.

"As good or better than mackinnen" - that's yet to be seen (besides probably Mcdavid/Eichel)
- MCGUIZZY

Alls I'm sayin is that we could have Mac + maybe Dal Colle + like a 10-15 pick maybe


or, Risto + Reinhart + McEichel (probably, if not name the next best forward)

yea for a month or two he was 3-5 overall, then took a steep fall because of skating ability and consistency.

guys like Mackinnon, Tavares, McDavid, Stamkos etc, they latch on to top spot and they never drop.

They're players you don't have to worry about

It was 1-2 and more than a month

Over this topic, comparing Mackinnon to Grigorenko is asinine anyways.

Enroth in goal tonight. I would venture to guess that Neuvirth gets the Carolina game and then they go with whatever guy had the better stats during their games.

Right now, Enroth has a HUGE lead.

Enroth and huge don't seem to go together. but glad he is playing good. The team is getting pretty close to what we will see opening night. Defense should be better tonight so Enroths time to shine is tonight.

Well, he did get a SO in his other game. So lets see if he can shut down Washington.

I haven't seen the lineup for Washington tonight. Is Ovie playing?

Dam it, direct tv blacked out the game on 642

Or mac, reinhart, Mcdavid...or risto, reinhart, konecny? ...Hypothetical. You just don't know. That's the draft/hockey in a nutshell. There are no guarantees and there is no guarantee we draft "mceichel" either but whatever agree to disagree

1. This would not have happened.

2. We will be picking top 3 (there might be a 10% chance we pick 4th ) so I'd rather have Risto + Reinhart + top 3 pick in this draft

All you are doing is making hypothetical statements. I think any of that could happen. Again no guarantees. What if we drafted mac and he got injured and then we drafted reinhart but we sent him down and we never picked up Moulson and gionta and we were still so bad that we drafted Mcdavid and then the following year we had a top line of mackinnen-Mcdavid-reinhart??????? What iff????

Anything can happen

I mean, I'm just trying to be semi-realistic here.
All these people unhappy with the amazing position we're in make me laugh.
