My only guess is that they had every reason to believe he was going to re-sign. Not necessarily trying to defend him, but everyone screamed that we should have flipped Nabby too, and that one worked out. At this point hindsight is 20/20, and someone is going to overpay him on too long of a term and regret it.

They should have flipped Nabby too. I still say that. I'd still say that if he posts a 1.000 save percentage through the entire season. At the very least, they shouldn't have very publicly taken him off the market before noon.

These are the reasons Shanny was kept out of The Hockey Hall of fame.

Btw: the last skit is the best one.

For those asking about why Anders Lee is not at Mini-Camp, the reason is because he is taking classes at Notre Dame over the summer.

Not something I had in mind when you have the 5th pick in the first rd. I would expect a lot more from a top 5 pick and if that's what they feel is his ceiling then why take him so high?

because they made a mistake. Snow fell in love with Nino's WJC tourney and his sudden and late rise up the draft board. He bought the hype that surrounded Nino as he shot up the draft board in the months leading up to the draft. Hopefully, Nino lives up to the hype.
