Exactly. So when you get sick enough, you cave and take it after all

But why do they have to be richards about it? Why can't they just make it taste good?

They're already gauging us on prices, charge an extra buck and make it taste like chocolate.

Why they can't make adult medicine that tastes more like Dimeatap is beyond me.

Adult medicine that tastes like king crab legs or prime rib and you could rule the world.

I’m of the belief that Berggren will be a star or at least has that potential. There are “nice” players in our range, many of whom would be fine picks, but he has an “It” factor to him that blew me away even back in August, having never seen him before or explicitly watching for him. He’s become my favorite (not saying best) prospect since Keller....who turned out okay. Some guys are talented superficially; it’s not common to see Berggren’s ability to tap into his talent every shift. He makes highlight reel plays on the regular, but he can play a faster cycle game too. Just some maturation in order. When he left the ice or came on for Sweden at the u18s, you could feel how dominant he was. He singlehandedly carried them. I also think he can be a high end PP QB. His vision and puck poise and hockey sense and ability to stay a step ahead are next level poop.

Dare I say he has some Giroux-like qualities from the wing. He has everything you want in a smaller scorer: fearless, smart, elite skill, a sturdy build, shifty as hell, and every single shift he consistently generates offense without being bad positionally on defense. Pass on him at your own peril. #8 on my board. He’s a guy I know will be there at either or both picks, and I pray we nab him. He’s everything our talent pool needs long-term.

He isn’t that good looking. You know how I feel about prospects with letters missing from their name though

5’11” shouldn’t be a deal breaker for most teams. Especially with the stockiness. I hope he’s there at 19 and we get him. He’s not going to be a bergfors right

If we could get Farabee at 14 and Berggren at 19, I would be very happy
