I can't believe Arizona appeared to make such a bad pick, and then gave up on that pick so early only to trade him for so little.
That's why they are where they are.

Dylan Strome has been great with Chicago.

And Arizona has been on a hot streak lately and aren't far out of playoffs. They will likely miss but they could still surprise.

Remember when we gave up Seguin and Hamilton for Kapanen, Andersen, and Harrington?

They'll be fine... eventually.

That seems like a much more positive spin.. Well done, sir.. Well done.

What's wild is the Bruins had THREE 1st round draft picks in a row in 2015, and only Jake Debrusk is currently on the team.

iirc, the Leafs traded Harrington for Rychel, then Rychel and 2nd for Plecanec

so add a 2nd to what we gave up?

He's gonna get it alright. He's gonna open wide and other teams are just gonna shower him with offersheets.
- TheMussel

Are there any decent teams with the cap room to throw out an offer sheet? Are there any poopty teams with the cap room where Marner would sign knowing that there won’t be any firsts for 4 years?

I don't think you know how it works.

Marner has NO CHOICE but to sign the multiple offer sheets that are coming his way. Have you ever read a blog or a comments section on this site?

I will refer you to RippedFuel of buffalo sabres fandom. Good day sir.

This is all part of the plan. There is a bright ray of light shining on the franchise and soon the dark days will be gone. If you have paid attention, you will know that happiness is on the horizon being borne unto us by Mitch Marner wearing the red, gold and black.

I have it on good authority that Marner will sign with the Sens on the same day that Melnyk sells the team, and Dorion is fired by the new ownership group, headed by none other than Daniel Alfredsson! This harmonious union will deliver the organization from the dark depths to which it has sunk and bathe all Sens fans in its healing glory.

Love,
Spatso

Oh, and Doppelganger will return after unfortunately being unable to log in due to internet problems at his home, for the past 18 months.

if a team like Edmonton or Buffalo signed him to an offer sheet, you take those 4 lottrey picks

But then you remember Marner has to sign a contract with those teams. And nobody would do that
- senstroll

The chances for Marner to sign with Edmonton would be much much greater than he would sign in Buffalo. (McDavid factor)

Last I heard, rippedfuel was no longer on speaking terms with his investor buddy in Arizona.. Wonder how he's been these days.. I really wish he could tell us again about how the Sabres would finish higher in the standings then the Leafs.. I miss those days.

He is melting down in the Sabres thread. I feel sorry for (most of) the rest of the Sabres fans who have to deal with this idiot.

disagree, Buffalo has a brighter future and is close to home.

But he is going to be a Senator. I believe in Spatso.

Where do you think he should be.

That's probably about right....just at $11.5per he should be top 5?

Next year he will be

He was around on Saturday for a bit, filling our eager minds with his illuminated viewpoints. Then he just disappeared. I hope he's OK.

Did Spazzo actually say that or is it just something that sounds like something that he'd say?

'Cause either way, I felly believe he'd say that.

Agree, and also I think that the chances of higher picks over that span would come from Edmonton...they dont appear to be able to fix anything

Both teams own their next four first round draft picks, however, I would think it highly unlikely, Marner wants to play anywhere else at this point. It might even get to the point that players will take less to play for the Leafs.

Soooooooo....

When do we start trolling in the Canucks thread?

I miss Esplen.
