That's a good point...is Griffin Reinhart and a conditional 2nd enough to get Taylor Hall in a trade too? If so how about William Nylander for Taylor Hall?

Is this a trick question considering that all Edmonton players and picks are untouchable?

Either way, (frank) ROR and his 6.4 billion dollar contract demands. If I'm paying him that much I want more than 31 points and a -6 rating.

Greedy, entitled player... exactly the kind you don't want on your team. Would look great in Edmonton.

Exactly. Which is why I'm scared the Leafs will get him, and then extend him for Toews/Kane mulla

I think this gets a little overblown (emphasis on a "little" - not saying there's zero truth there). He held out. So did Kadri. so do lots of RFA's who have career years at the right time.

Calgary offered him that deal - what's he supposed to do not sign it and sign the Avs offer of HALF the money?

Oh you're funny Saul... did I sound drunk... ya who's kiddding who I probably was... even though we had some good conversation.. and you understood my sluring LoL

I never claimed he was the 4th best prospect... all I said was if I was Toronto and McDavid, Eickel and Strome were all drafted I think they should consider Crouse... why...

because we have a few small players already and could use his size... we also need more depth at the forward position. Remember he's also only 17 and played for Canada in the Juniors so he does have talent! Especially considering he beat out Dal Colle (the Islanders pick last year at 5 who was suppose to be a lock for that Juniors team)!

We have D prospects like Finn Percy and Granberg so the D looks ok so no need to Draft Hanifin

I like Marner but he's on the small side (noticed I didn't say not talented... I really like him too... if Hunter has him on his Knights team then I think he knows how good Marner is) compared to Crouse and since we went small last year with Nylander as well as some other guys like Crouse was a viable option...

Finally I said if we can trade down and get Strome because another team behind us wants Hanifin or Marner then thats great too because we can get more assets!

Clearly you missed the memo.. that's ok... I'll assume you were just as drunk if not more so then me!

Salute!

He didn't beat out Dal Colle though. Duclair, Reinhart and Lazar beat out Dal Colle. That would be like saying Gauthier beat out Dal Colle. TC always brings a douche 4th line, Crouse was an ok part of it no doubt, but he wasn't really that impressive for Canada.
