You do it for laughs. I've seen it plenty of times.

I'd never laugh at the Nucks fanbase. How dare you.

Now that we are not picking top 3 it's a very real possibility JB makes an offer...wouldn't be shocked if he did

This has become a serious TO Troll Fest! Just me, but I don't think the consensus #1 pick is that great nor do I think the center of the universe is that appealing to him. #2 and beyond is a different story though. #Karma

Matthews isn't considered a generational talent like Crosby OV or even McJesus. He's not a franchise changer...an excellent piece yes but not generational. It's what TO does to surround Matthews and Maybe Stamkos with the right ingredients. TO has a long hill to climb

Certainly didn't look all that stoked from what i saw.
He did touch on the good things.
centre of the hockey-verse
good coach

Really, if you're not from Ontario, looking at how they're stripping it down, you're initial reaction would probably be

How did that work out for Philadelphia?

How about for Colorado (Quebec)?

Matthews shouldnt be compared to either player...can you imagine what the media does there if he struggles in his rookie year?

I hope Dubois is our pick at 5. We have less D prospects sure, but we still need more up front. Dubois is my pick outside the top 3 wherever he lands. Looks to be not just skilled but really focused and determined. Can easily be developed into a top center imo. Kid will be huge too.

Really? From most of what I've read, he would have gone second last year. Better than Eichel, not as good as Jesus.

There's enough quantity on D to be optimistic. Between Pedan, Stecher, Subban and Tryamkin you're gonna get something. Maybe that Cagguila(sp) signs too. Plus there are a couple CHL prospects that some people are getting a bit higher on.

There isn't much in the forward pipelines right now outside of Boeser. I guess Rodin hasn't quite debuted yet but he's 25. Hopefully McCann get some serious minutes in the AHL this year.

Not taking a forward is probably a mistake.

Third is what i've read all day long.

Last year the feelings were Eichel is the best player since Crosby, McDavid the best since Lemieux.

There's probably not a top pairing Dman in the bunch. Considering D usually take longer to develop, i'd rather grab D and let them grow and fill in with forwards afterwards. We're going to get about 5 years of cracks at this.

You never know with Dmen man. Some people thought Karlsson wouldn't amount to much and that Rundblad was a better bet. Subban, Keith, Weber, Byfuglien were all outside the first round. Sometimes your high pick Dman turns into Schenn, Hickey or Bogosian instead of Pietrangelo.
