Yeah but if we picked Murray we'd be first place

Especially with all of the games he's played

Fun fact. His corsi drops quite a bit when he's not with wishniewski

Did anyone see this like a week and a half ago?

"Yep, for sure. I think that Hall, for sure has become an elite-level – not just an offensive guy – but for sure an elite top two-way guy in the league. [He’s] arguably the best left winger in the game. I’d say that’s the biggest difference. I think that Eberle’s looked on as that already. I mean, that wasn’t just something that happened last year. I think he is a top two-way guy, and I think, quite honest, with the number of high first round picks that they’ve had, that those kids are starting to come into their own." -Darryl Sutter

I didn't see that, but I think that's awesome. Darryl Sutter is a guy I actually listen to when he speaks like that.

Darryl Sutter is full of poop. Lives to yap so much he'll say anything.

And Avs draft board was Drouin, Barkov, Jones, MacKinnon until Roy showed up and he made the call to draft MacK.

I would love to be in a draft day war room to hear this kind of stuff leading up to the draft.

Taylor vs Tyler, it must have been just ridiculous with some of the stuff going back and forth bw management, ownership, and the scouts on who to draft

I remember the trade happening. But dont recall why it happened. Why did EDM trade Stoll and Greene for Lubo?
- poisondhearts37

Stoll could not find the quality coke he was needing in Edmonton and Greene- well he was just an addition... but turned into a gem for LA... Greene was not very impressive in Edmonton... but he was young...

Old news and thank the (frank) Katz did such-- Murray is a bandaide that would have been killed in the Oilers system...

If we drafted Murray everyone would be saying how stupid that pick was and that we should've drafted Yak.
