We'll get a good pick according to JB. Lotto luck WTF it's all good people. Some fodder to chew on until the draw. Since we got prospects on the mind.
Green has worked on JV all year. He believes he's NHL ready. He reshaped him to work hard and earn a role in the NHL. Not wallow in top 6 entitlement. Play well for the team first. Guess he believes if JV doesn't get wrapped up in star status he'll play well. Perhaps develop from there.
There are 6 forward and 1D (2 Vegas factor) spot(s) open without trades.
We could use a nuge......and the Nail fail .....Ruskie....
Patrick has been talked about for years......I concede that is is a weak draft, but for us, that 1 or 2 pick WILL make a difference. 100% better than (insert one of the many rookies we played this year).

A few days ago I tried to see who was on Russia's WHC roster as I was curious to see who is on their D if Tryamkin wasnt invited, but nothing was posted yet on the tournament website

Patrick had a lot more hype a year ago than today because his production for his age in the WHL was amazing, and he had a great playoff run as well. People expected him to be even better this year, but he was pretty much the same, if not worse.
2 things to consider though:
Injuries - he was in and out of the lineup
His team - They were 48-18-6 last year with WHL stars like Provorov, Quenneville, Hawryluk on the team, all 3 were gone this year and his team finished at 31-31-10
So clearly his numbers were a bit inflated last year playing on a stacked junior team, but at the same time players usually get better year to year in junior since there's so much growth in players at that age from year to year.

Either if the top 2 will be good imo ...and if not in the top 2 your still getting a good prospect which is all you can ask for

I agree about the injuries, and the need to be wary.... So consistency is hard to predict, but even with injuries he's been consistent. Has he been injured because he plays a hard leadership style.....he can focus on game in the nhl, and not being a team leader. He has a good game.
Nico is great too.....Patrick is who I would pick....just personal preference.
Twin Sails' new release this weekend looks pretty interesting
