No way does Ottawa include a pick imo
- rinaldo



we can hope, cant we?

Weise does have some value, maybe a 5th round. Lyon's value maybe never be higher and they can pray Nuevy doesnt have a slip and fall

K'Andre Miller should have been taken over O'Brien, No question about it.

We can and no I don’t think Weise has even 5th rd value or he would be gone

Weise and 5 gets u a 6th type of deal

I don't know what people expected to happen.

The Rags and Stars both reached letting the favorite of the majority of people to be picked. That pick also fills a huge need btw.

You got a project at 19 who could pan out to be Pavelski-like. At worst we only need him to be a decent 3C down the road.

Not to mention they finally stopped ignoring US born players for once.

They got Frost & Farabee for Schenn. Let that sink in for a bit...

It's sinking in. Wait for it......wait for it.... yes! Yes!! It sunk.

Anderson's cap hit is high, he is a risk after a bad season, it could be enough to include Weise. Nuevy Lyon and Weise for Anderson and a 3rd
- wcorvette

Ok now if you're the Sens would you have the decency to not laugh in Hextall's face or

And his track record is pretty good

If Ottawa takes Weise and glass joe they are not adding a pick

Now if it is Anderson straight up then I could see a deal like Anderson 4th for a 5th; something along those lines

With some of the draft results Hextall has had....I’m willing to trust him on this....even though I saw a “young” Brent Burns....in Miller.

Not saying your wrong....but I’m not one for past track records of old guys having bounce back years....I still have Vinny Lecavalier nightmares....

I’m worried Hextall won’t sign any free agents and the Flyers will be kicked out of the league for not reaching the cap floor.

Adam Silver will step in and appoint a Sutter to run the team

like he is old too, like he has a nice size cap hit, like the Sens are going nowhere, like Weise is 2 years at 2 mil, walk in the park

Goddamn I got female doges
Damn I got female doges
Wifey girlfriend and mistress

Edit: what do you think of the draft swap? Pick up an uprotected pick, a lot of people speculating using it for a trade (Kawhi). Togh if he doesn't commit past next year

I think it was a really good trade. Even if the pick ends up being somewhere in the middle of the first, it could have a lot of value. NBA has already said they anticipate 2021 being the first year high schoolers can enter the draft again. That means it would include almost two draft classes in one.

I would hold off on a Kawhi trade unless he makes clear he's willing to sign with the Sixers if they're a contender.

Awesome point about the HS class. Didn't even think of that

I'm with you on Kawhi

I think Smith is an excellent choice for them. Able to chip in offense and is stellar defensively. Bridges shot well at Nova but a lot of folks were unsure about how he's gonna translate to the NBA

I'll side with the professional scouts with a strong drafting track record.

I'm surprised Kawhi hasn't been dealt yet. I don't know what the hold up is.

Can’t go wrong there. I always side with the hockey people. Same with my job, I side with my knowledgeable managers and senior leadership. I always listened to my parents and the elderly too.

Once you accept that life is a perfect meritocracy it’s easy mode as far as how to think.
