Nope tired of this. No assets bad team no direction. Just very very frustrated. I want a proper management group that has won before. Doesnt mean it will work just means we have a better chance. What a joke

Go smoke a blunt man, you're being dramatic. This kid is top 5 in skill, nhl ready, a steal at 10. He can buy out his final KHL year if he wants, and silver lining, two years in the KHL is arguably 2 years better spent than in Utica under Cull. He wasn't my first or even second pick, but you're being a drama queen

Well KPod is no Boeser but he might be okay

God damn horse crap. So so so risky and stupid but im not shocked cause its Jimbo. Fire his ass now (frank)
- Jkuzzi

Maybe Podz is a top 5 talent in the draft, but he doesn’t have impressive stats and isn’t set to make an arrival for a couple of years. Hard to judge for at least 2-3 seasons and I certainly would have preferred one of the other prospects myself...but I’ll give JB/JB props for taking the risk on BPA in the first.

Canucks picked the one guy nobody in here talked about.

Let's see if player development is up to the task.

Benning has some Sutter sized balls picking a kid that he is banking on developing for 2 years instead of trying to force a kid into the lineup to possibly save his job in his last year.

All the people who've been screaming BPA can be happy their wishes were answered

I really wanted zegras or boldy. Probably should have invested more interest and time into other picks Haha.

I never was a BPA advocate. Then again this draft i never got close to predicting how it would go down like this. Need is always a factor every draft.

The second year in a row that they have taken a D that doesn't belong in the first round.

Dont be negative Nostradamus.

Grewe or Vlasic

Kind of suggests he is pretty secure in his position to do that

Says the poster who would trade Boeser...
- Nighthawk

Greyzky got traded. If your team gets better trade them. Wasnt barry pederson a goal scorer before he got here? Open your brain a bit. Trading boeser for a top 2 de makes perfect sense. Your right lets just follow the oilers path. Mcjesus draisaitl hopkins no de works splendid.

The way this draft is playing out the 2nd round will have some awesome picks to choose from.

Jimbo get more 2nds 👊

If it makes you feel better.

Last season I had Hughes ranked 4th in the draft and Van took him 3 spots behind at 7th.

This year I had Podkolzin at 7th and Van selected him 3 spots behind at 10th.

We like Hughes so far.

Bjornfot to the Jets?
