how're you guys feeling about the pick? shocked BB went D first. thought he'd take Forsberg.

anyhow now you guys at least have legit reason to crow about your future D. Gardiner/Reilly/Schenn is a sick foundation.

People complain cause they wanted a #1 centre.. may not have been available with Gally gone (congrats, you lucky bums), so a good D wasn't a bad option.

Clearly Burke is being snubbed by the NHL GM brotherhood.The only deals open to him are dumps like Luongo.We need a GM who can make moves

Yeah, we need a real trading GM. We need the kind of guy who could get both the Sedins in one draft. We need the kind of guy who could trade (hypothetically), a guy like, say... Beauchemin for a top-tier prospect and a PPG winger.

We need a guy who could get a top paring defenseman for 3rd and fourth line plugs.

Let's hire somebody like THAT.

even if Galchenyuk is a bust, i'm happy to see them swing for the fences and not take the guy who "plays well without the puck".

Leafs should try and grab Forsberg. Trade for a mid-1st pick and grab him

depends on Schulz. but at this point, (frank) it, keep him. unless the return is above market value. maybe seeing Gardiner/Rielly (Schulz?) will give him a kick in the ass.

true that

I'm devistated by the Reily pick. Nothing against the kid, but i really wanted to see a forward taken and unless Burke has a trade for Gardner or schenn I consider this draft a fail for the franchise, again

Gardiner - Schenn
Reilly - Schultz
Blacker - Franson
Holzer

Wait a few years until one of them has a good year.

It pains me just thinking about the scores of armchair GMs who will flaunt their knee-jerk retrospective genius.

I'd like them to fill out a mock-draft sheet with their ISS sheets taken away.

I doubt anybody here could even name 30 draft eligible players, let alone rank them.

I can't tell if you're actually trying to talk hockey or being your usual Richard self.

But why do you want a guy who is falling like a stone?

The professional scouting staffs of 9 organizations have passed on him. Maybe that's an indication that the ISS rankings were flawed...
