OKC scored 42 in first quarter. Reminds me of the NBA on NBC Phoenix/Seattle game in early 90’s. Westbrook with 21 so far. Might be must see tv.

seriously dude? the raptors have a better shot than the (frank)ing heat

wow. we're at basketball now? Cool!

I know you don't like Tk, but remember that he looked great with Mittlestadt and might be exactly the type of player Eichel needs on his line.

It’s not that i don’t like Tkachuk...
I’m just worried about whether or not he will be a scorer at the NHL level

From what I’ve seen,
he seems to get the few goals he scores by effort as opposed to skill
So when he’s in the NHL & not so big & tough, is he skilled enough to still score?

Will he be Simmonds?
Or will he be Foligno?
I think it’s legit to ask that question

NBA blows
Maybe it’s watchable once u get to the Conference Finals,
but that’s about it

NCAA is fun during the tourney

I honestly have no idea. I just know the Heat are trash.

Edit: And Dwyane, or however the (frank), is a wussy.(I know he doesn't play for them anymore, Bulls?)

Girgensons, our furniture captain, sign that man

If your downside is Nick Foligno, that's not a bad scenario.

Every pick comes with risk. I think you're picking on one of the lowest risk picks, while advocating for one of the riskiest.

Except I'm pretty sure he meant Marcus and not Nick Foligno.

No, not Nick Foligno...
Marcus

How did u not understand that from everything i wrote about my doubts that he could score in the NHL?

Tkachuk could easily end up just being a 3rd liner IF he can’t score

Except I'm pretty sure he meant Marcus and not Nick Foligno.
- kingcong39

I know. Comparing a 4th rounder with a projected 4th overall deserves some sarcasm. Tk is already better than him. He should have meant Nick.

Yes, i did mean Marcus

Now I’m not predicting him to be Marcus...
BUT
I do have doubts that Tkachuk can score in the NHL

Brady Tkachuk has only 7 goals this year

And it’s not like he lit it up at the World Juniors

Lots of players look good in small sample sizes

I think i did a pretty good job explaining why I’m concerned about him as a scorer at the NHL level

Another 1 goal loss arising from moments of poor play against one of the league’s stronger teams.

Spread the effort more broadly across(t) a few more key players and we will win those games, and many others.

We are close. I think we’re going to be good.

Our teams are playing at 50% the ducks definitely controlled the whole game and it could have been easily 5-0 but they whiffed on open net shots

We need one or two pieces to be legit.

It's almost like the team is adamant on just being at the bottom looking up to hopefully attain one of those pieces.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict we pick one of these guys...


1. Rasmus Dahlin, D, 6-foot-2, 183 pounds (Frolunda, SHL): After the WJC there is zero doubt who the top draft pick should be in June. Dahlin has everything you want in a defenceman in 2018. Can help turn a franchise around.

2. Andrei Svechnikov, RW, 6-foot-2, 187 pounds (Barrie Colts, OHL): Didn’t get as much ice time at the WJC as many scouts would have liked, but his skills are undeniable.

3. Filip Zadina, RW, 6-foot-1, 192 pounds (Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL): Zadina had a great tournament in Buffalo with seven goals and eight points. Was a threat every time he was on the ice.

4. Brady Tkachuk, LW, 6-foot-3, 196 pounds (Boston University, NCAA): Raised his stock immensely for those who doubted him due to a sluggish start at BU.

5. Adam Boqvist, D, 5-foot-11, 170 pounds (Almtuna, Allsvenskan): Loaded with talent. As one NHL scout recently told me “there’s a lot of Karlsson in him.”

6. Noah Dobson, D, 6-foot-3, 179 pounds (Acadie-Bathurst Titan, QMJHL): Scouts go out of their way to make sure they see Dobson. This season’s big riser.

7. Rasmus Kupari, C, 6-foot-1, 183 pounds (Hermes, Mestis Finland): Would have been nice to see more of him at the WJC, but his skill very much keeps him in the top 10 mix.

8. Oliver Wahlstrom, RW, 6-foot-1, 205 pounds (USNDTP): Has outstanding skill and is an effective player with a high hockey IQ.

9. Bode Wilde, D, 6-foot-2, 197 pounds (USNTDP): Big, strong, can move his feet and competes hard. Stands guys up in the neutral and defensive zone and hits hard. Moves pucks quickly to the best option. Has a bomb of a shot.

10. Evan Bouchard, D, 6-foot-2, 193 pounds (London Knights, OHL): A smart player who never panics and has a cannon from the point. With his London Knights in rebuild mode it will be challenging for Bouchard to stand out on a weaker squad, but make no mistake, he is legit.

Adam Boqvist and Dobson are not bad consolation prizes if we get screwed out of #1

Move Risto at the draft and try to get 2 of the top 7 picks

I agree about Risto.........

Something isnt right about him, wonder what a return would get? Packaged in a bigger deal, will see what Botts has in the hopper
