OK, finally got the kids set up with a movie, and sitting down to the TV / really, really old laptop (so I apologize for the typos in advance - especially for the faulty space bar).

I'm not going to bother reading previous pages, because I don't respect any of your opinions, but let me ask:

How do we feel about this new kid?

Did we Rielly take a defenceman?

Rielly?

Agree.

All I hope for now is that if Forsberg, Grigorenko, and Faksa slip, Burke trades for a pick to grab one of them.

Wow run on dmen hardcore

We'll look back on this draft in 5 years, and things will be all over the board. I predict we'll see at least one top 5 bust, and the best player to come out of this might not even be in the top 5.

D-men are historically pretty unpredictable, even in the top round.

There will be a ton of "what were they thinking?" moments when we look back at this. Some people will undoubtedly call their perfect hindsight a sign of their genius.

Don't worry guys, we'll take Forsberg or Grigo in the 2nd or 3rd round.

The consensus seems to be that Forsberg will shatter most NHL records.

1967.

Two firsts and a second.

Fire Burke.

At this rate, maybe we can just pick one of them up as a undrafted free agent signing when they fall out of the draft.

Varlamov for Forsberg. That trade officially looks awful right now.

what the (frank) burke!

how do you let forsberg and teravainen go by, and take reilly?

how many (frank)ing blueliners do we need in the system before we start addressing some offense?!

- joel878


Agree


OMG as if we didn't take a forward.

This is the only move BBs made since Kessel-trade that I disagree with.

It's simply mind boggling.

Then again, it surely must mean that Schenn's on his way out

100% agree. Not an organizational need AND I feel that there were higher skilled forwards available

We knew he wasnt taking Grigs... And it seems Burke wasnt the only one who didnt like what he saw in Forsberg. He took who he felt was the BPA... And if Reilly really is the best pmd in the draft, then its not the worst pick, by any means.

Yeah I really have no words to discribe how I went from being thrilled at the propect of getting forsberg, to being kicked in the groin at picking a defenceman
