Yes those are very good players and were good even when they were old. However they were not as good they were in there prime

Roloson played his best hockey from 2002-2004
When was the last time Selanne scored 76 goals ?
Whitney 97-00
Lidstrom's production dropped off too

Not that these guys aren't useful they just weren't as good as they were in there prime.

Selanne scored 76 goals a rookie in like 1991 when hockey was different, thats the dumbest poop ive ever heard. lol

Lidstrom's production dropped off too, lol man where do they find you guys?

You guys need a goalie. A proven goalie that will without question be good. Kipper will be that without question. I don't understand your position at all.

Which scouts? Please provide me a link. Mackinnon and Jones do NOT make it a deep draft.

Barkov set the record for youngest scorer in the WJC beating Crosby and he's the youngest player in the draft 6'2 223 lbs. Monahan, Shintaruk (whateves), Rychel, already ahead of half this past draft class. Defense will be weak this year, but forwards are looking insane.

I swear to God if the Oilers get the #1 pick again..

you too eh

I guess Brodeur at 37 getting 77 games played, 9 shut outs and 45 wins is on the decline because hes 37 years old. do i need to type in spanish too so you get the point?

so if Kipper has 1 good season and 3 poopty ones in the next 4 years, you'll be satisfied?

oh and Kipper is NOT Brodeur....

who?
- bobbyisno1

Exactly. The leafs 1st pick in the 2nd round that year.

- Big_Lightnin

he was my example, i know hes not brodeur, but hes also like 5 years younger than brodeur.

My position is he isn't worth what it will cost for him. He is not a guarantee.

- big_dion

no, but taking the best goalie of all-time in a renaissance year, and completely ignoring that 3 of the last 4 years he's been a shell of his former self is kind of stretching it a bit...

especially when Kipper is absolutely no Brodeur...

I think I could type Leafs Suck right now and no one would pay me any attention

I can't believe this guy, I think he started watching hockey yesterday. Wants to give up a first for kipper

sorry just a bit heated up over the overall cluelessness of certain people. lol time to go wet the line...here fishy fishy - back in 20.

- big_dion

right, and in those 5 years, Bordeur only had 2 decent seasons (for him)

why would we expect Kipper could do more than that, playing on a worse team.?

il blow up an oil rig damnit!
- big_dion

Yeah!!! Let's do it

No, but seriously 3 in a row is ridiculous

so if Kipper has 1 good season and 3 poopty ones in the next 4 years, you'll be satisfied?

oh and Kipper is NOT Brodeur....
- Big_Lightnin

No, he is not, he is still even at his age, one of the better goalies in hockey, and is still capable of winning games on his own.

yes, you got me, i know nothing - im WAY off on my assessment.

All I've seen is me winning a fair argument and you whining about it

And what the hell does that prove? The NHL is hyping their own draft? Zomgz! Best evah! They put out stuff like that all the time. The main difference is 2013 looks to be shaping up as more of a center heavy draft while this yyear was D heavy. Any draft heavier in pivots will always be sexier. Doesn't mean its deeper at all. People make me laugh.

You clearly ignored my link, and the research I did in favor of your blind stupidity.

This obviously has nothing to with the fact that Calgary is in the western conference, and a poopty team to boot.

In no way does it have D depth, it has star forward depth up the ass.
