I honestly don't care too much about Nylander.
- Pecafan Fan

We shouldn't either...not yet anyway.

- Pecafan Fan

Oh, you care.

I've watched him for a few years now because my buddy is a diehard Blues fan. I know he can skate - better than Gunner with his bum hip.
I think Leafs fans are going to like him. I think it was a solid trade - he was something they needed.
- Woderwick

I always liked the trade, I'm sure he'll now suck

Oh, you care.

I don't have an opinion on a player I've never seen play.

It is just very very sad.
- Aetherial

That part is. I think we are all just missing something. Players don't understand it...how could we?

Still should be a very entertaining year. Some good moves were made. Lots of positives on this team going forward.

Probably that Badge guy, god I hate him and his stupid avatar.

You watch.

When you are not on these boards, you are known as "Hey, you, in the bushes..."

I didn't see him play, so it's hard to say anything at this point.

He showed promise, but he is no MacKinnon. He'll be an NHL'er.

I tried to watch the Oilers and Canucks last night...it's almost impossible to get into watching preseason games not involving your team.

Nope he hasn't lit it up all preseason. He will be lucky if he makes the Marlies, he's a bust and I hear he sits down to pee too. What the (frank) was Nonis and the gang thinking with this one?

Meh, I can enjoy watching young players play and then make a bold prediction about how that player will be awesome.

- Pecafan Fan

He's not ready for the NHL, has shown some good creativity and skill. The one thing I didn't expect was he seems to have some good tenacity when getting the puck back from the other team.

meh, almost impossible to watch these 2 in the 1st round of the playoffs

Agreed. One year in Sweden then, barring an unreal camp next year, one year in the AHL. He comes in as a 20 year old.
- TheThrill

That's what I would do.

Let's allow our players to be overripe like Detroit.

A lot of people here tell me "He's better learning at the NHL than to dominate in a different league." Doesn't seem to bother detroit prospects!

I have to add however...Hall is going to be quite the player. I'm counting on him big time this year in my pool.

Thank for the exact translation of my words.

I wanted to say exactly that, but I couldn't remember all those words and unfortunately it came out sounding like something far more rational and succinct.

- Aetherial

You mean MacKinnon will be no Nylander. Don't want to disappoint those that report back to their threads on our discussions.

you mean you missed the clinic put on by Green Bay?

for shame.

Detroit just drafts better in the later rounds. If they ever get a top 10 pick the kid would be trying to make the team.

Is the game being aired tonight?

Don't judge me...I'm not an NFL guy.

What a (frank)ing joke of a sport now.
