If the last few days are any indication, that's doubtful. Darcerill.

Dude, this is going to mirror Darcy/Ruff so hard except now Eichel is Satan and Lehner is the goalie we are going to Richard around on contract negotiations while hands get sat on until Uncle Terry waives his magic finger like a wise old Emperor Palpatine. "Good."

I'm plenty calm. I just remember GMTM being criticized for not drafting enough D in the first two rounds. I'm wondering if this is still a valid criticism.

Here's to hoping Jack feels like stickling around for another three year rebuild...

That's what this is looking like, except we will be a bubble team the whole time. Gotta do the Darcy way right. Epic run to 9th, here we come.

Rest of Hamonic deal: believe Isles get a 1st RD pick, two 2nd RD picks while Flames also get a 4th RD pick back

Maybe that's why no top 4 defenseman were traded. That's a steeeeeeep price.

He can't draft D just for the sake of drafting D. It's that simple, the WORST thing you can do, especially in a draft where most players aren't going to be ready for two to three years is draft for need NOW. That's not only risky, it's just plain dumb. A lot of things can happen between now and when they're ready and your needs maybe different.

Remember the years Darcy went for Size? Kassian, McNabb, Foligno, Connor Knapp, etc.

He went for size because he felt the team was too small. Draft the players that will have the biggest impact for the team without thinking about what your team needs right now.

If they player would come in and make an immediate impact then by all means grab them if they fit a need, but if not. Draft the BPA.
