yeah i get that, we picked poorly but not the worst. Some don't like him cause he's rather uninspiring or a little too soft, i get that too.

He's fine, not great and not bad and his pay is a non issue. He's an easy target cause of the above mentioned. trying to defend him is kind of a losing cause in that regard.

none of them projected in the top 5 let alone second overall

That makes Sam look worse, not better. That he was a projected top 5 talent getting out performed by those who weren't.

This coaching staff/GM has to see something in Thompson.

From a skill set standpoint it's easy to see why. The only way it will come together is through playing I guess. May as well put him through it now

Well, there was that broken play on a line change I was talking about, just wrong team.

He’s played well lately.

But if anyone wants to pretend he didn’t have an absolute putrid start for the second year in a row they’re kidding themselves

Sorry, but that's on Dahlin. If your changing, change. Don't stand by the bench.

Last year for sure, this year yes. But I'm hoping that it was a result of showing up late. No excuse like that last year (unless you wanna site the center experiment).

I dont know why Bogosian wasn't looking though. Like if he looks to see where he's passing, he probably chooses not to make that pass no?

Thompson is 6’5” and hasn’t filled out yet. Could take a couple more years. He was drafted in 2016 and a bust? So everyone that isn’t a Top 6 forward drafted 2016 or before are scrubs?

Wow, best team in a long time and all people can do is cry about something. We are F’ing good but we should have stayed status quo from last year and we would be better, right?

I look forward to every game am have excitement again. It’s fun. Stop crying and let’s enjoy the ride.

We could win the SC and some posters will find something to complain about. It's always something with a few know it alls. Enjoy the games, nothing is perfect.

Count how many times every defenseman does that every game. You might be surprised.

Except that happens in almost every draft.
