certainly a #1 center is a premium position. No doubt. No argument with that at all.

So is a winger with HIS skill set. You dont this very often.

We do have a lot of wingers with talent.....but we have none with what he brings. Both are organizational needs, so which do you pick? Laine is the better player imo.
We'd be better off with either really. I do tend to like laines style of play and skill set better though. Its certainly more exciting too.

But either way.

With all your elite scouting skills you still can't see how much more we are going to need a #1 C over a winger...

Even the guys from Finland on HFboards say Matthews is the clear cut #1 pick in the draft, yet they split more on the 2 Finns. Whereas some say they think Laine will go #2, they think Puljujarvi will be a better player.

You can think whatever you want about Laine vs Mathews, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. However, we're just as entitled to see Mathews as well above Laine.....like much of the hockey world does.

Cbc did a special and compared them to NHL players.
Matthews - Kopitar
Laine - Nash
Puljarvi - I don't remember
Tkachuk - Perry
I can't remember who they had as the fifth player. Anybody fill in the I don't knows

Sergochev dropped to 9th or 10th North American skater in the last rankings if I'm not mistaken, which worries me. Guys here seem to be a big fan of his and I haven't watched him play, but the players that start to drop towards the end of the year make me nervous

I'd take Juolevi over Sergochev.

I have never stated I would take Laine over Mathews. I am only saying Laine is the clear cut #2.

Oh, I thought you were also saying he could easily be #1.

Sorry dragon but you made a fatal mistake.

When it comes to couching you be like, 'hey guys check out the sick skills I got with this here rapier.' And we be like.... I guess

But then you go all 'hey guys me and Vantel we're crossing swords and I realized how big his scimitar is and I wanted to let you know that he wields it like a master scout, poop be so deep'
And we be like ah...awkward turtle.....
Then you go all, you are all such bad swordsman when it cums to scouting, me and Vantel... we're so good....

And Vantel is all 'ah.... no, please don't...... that was a private moment..... and we didn't Even look at each other's swords man. '

And we and

I was saying for some he could be #1. He is Someone I would look at but Mathews is #1 for me. It is close. Laine is good.

In a year or two laine may be number 2 or 3.
in hindsight drafts tend to look different. I'm gonna have to trust Benning to make a good pick and I expect that we get a great player.

I have the worse luck at the draft simulator. We got 7th when I did it and that's not even possible. Look...

I'm watching the Singapore Rugby Sevens and Canada is just sucking. Against the States they let in 3 trys in 6 mins and was down 31-0 at half time and lost 36-14. In the second game NZ scored 17 sec. into the game and is up 24-0 at half time. I don't know if I can continue watching, it's a good thing the games are only 14 mins long.
