Oils taking penalties without really taking penalties. Take a (frank)ing penalty and make sure it involves Kessler wishing he wasn't born. Take the teeth out of the (frank)ers head and sit for a few minutes or a game or whatever, but let him have it.

Ebs had a great game for the ducks ...two of the oilers who have been looking great are Connor and looch...he shut them both down whenever he was on the ice with them ...

I don't completely disagree with you overall, but that bolded statement can be said of mid-to-late 1st rounder Dmen, as well. In my experience, forwards like the ones I mentioned have a better "turn-out" rate than Dmen of the variety you mentioned in that area.

Don't get me wrong; I don't hate drafting Dmen but the ones you mentioned are bigger bodies with early birthdays (1998 as opposed to 1999) which gives red flags that their results are skewed by having more development time and by reaching their physical peaks early against much smaller competition.

The only Dmen likely available around there that I'd be open to drafting would be Brannstrom or Pierre-Olivier Joseph. Both very late brithdays with fantastic skating and projectable offense (comparable to Karlsson in Brannstrom's case).

I would be fully on board with grabbing Suzuki but I don't think he'll still be on the board there.

Robertson is the one that I'd look hard at in that case. Had McDavid-like percentage of goal involvement for his team, is a late birthday and has top end offensive instincts. While his biggest issue is skating, his type of skating issue is pretty much the same as Draisaitl's was based off what I've read. Should be fixable with a good offseason or two of focused work. Just look at the rest of his team's scoring: http://www.eliteprospects...php?team=869&status=stats

I'd also be all for Thomas as he looks like a RH Bo Horvat but a tad less dynamic and more pass-focused. He'd be an absolutely PERFECT 3C for the future.

This is why Talbot wasn't in the conversation for Vezina.

I really hoped Eberle would prove the naysayers wrong in the playoffs and break out. I agree now, get him the (frank) out of here after this season.

Robertson does have some really good numbers. The skating does sound like a bit of an issue. His teammate Rasanen looks decent too.

How daft do you have to be to not realize that EVERY single goalie has off games? The far more valuable trait is how he bounces back almost every time.
- MaximumBone


Dumbest response of all time ^^^. Trait of bouncing back applies to goalies that actually has something. Edm is riding a fluke, enjoy it as long as it takes you, but don't try convince us that Talbot is a serious goalie. He' just not. You know it.

God damn, Eberle sucks balls. That shooting coach he hired royally (frank)ed up his shot. Maybe we can trade him to the Devils so he can be with his BFF again... What do you think, Mr. Bobby?
