Is it wrong that I am curious for Trump to win just to see what happens?

Kind of like a fat girl on a scooter.

He slew all 5 of Dany's dragons (yeah, she got 2 more at a pawn shop), and burned them on a pyre. Stevie Nicks arose out of the ashes and gave him an 8-month-long tambourine course.

This is all common knowledge.

Not you but this bothers me. I love when people say "these guys have feelings too, they are human, fans should realize that" and yet do you think these players really think about the fans?

Hartnell was friendly with those guys, but he wasn't one of the guys boozing and womanizing around the way that Carter, Richards, Lupul, and Upshall were. Remember; for a good portion of their tenure, he was married. He was a lot more grounded that those 4, and was closer with guys like Briere and Carle.

And was a bit of a dad-man to Baby Schenn and Giroux.

Please take any discussion of the election somewhere else.

This is supposed to be a safe place.

Get heated about hockey.

Fact of the matter is, ALOT, not all, but ALOT of fans are childish trolls. Umberger got traded here, he didn't come as a FA ! Blame the GM who brought him here ! Hartnell got ragged on, probably by the same childish trolls, endlessly for penalties, bad balance and so forth, but then turn around and cried like 5 year olds when he was traded. Some fans I simply cannot talk to because their hypocrites.

What if they pick 18?

No chance of moving up to the top 10? 15 at least?

I hear there's a drop off after 15.

If they draft #18, which is probably going to happen, you owe this board an apology

I think the drop off is more like 17/18 honestly. Depends on if some early top players fall...Gauthier, Jones...d men like Fabbro and McAvoy in play too. The more of those 4 that go early the better for us imo. It's why picking 17 might be kind of big this year instead of 18.

For a trade up, I'd target Colorado or Ottawa. Not sure anyone else would trade with us, or it would cost too much. Personally, I trade up for Keller at that spot -- him alone. I like Brown, like Jost around there, but not enough for a trade up. Brown seems like a big riser too into top 10. My dream short of Keller (he's my boy), is Flyers sit tight and snag Rubtsov or Bellows. Not sure Jost is better than Rubtsov anyways.

I've seen a couple mocks where Rubtsov goes early in the second.

Of course I've seen Debrincat go top 15.

These mocks are all over the map after 15.
