Well this blows. I don't understand why the NHLPA has been dragging their feet.

Yeah for sure, but he is still pretty knowledgeable on prospects and he did almost nail this guys draft number precisely. The rest of the scouting I've seen had him around the exact same spot except for 2 had him going early 30's.

Maybe JR just uses Bobs list then

I don't think the next CBA negotiation is going to go well.

Upside and cap space.

You still think there's upside? I feel like we're in Yakupov territory.

You guys wet your pants over 24 year old guys all the time...

You think a 21 year old that had to get rushed in by EDM and spent almost half of his NHL career playing with an absolute anchor in Lucic doesn't have upside?

I don't always necessarily go by age. I go by pro/nhl experience. If a player breaks in at 23 or 24, I'm willing to give them time to see what they are before sealing their fate.

I think there are exceptions to "they are what they are." FWIW, I'm generally pretty conservative on younger players, good or bad.

Hahaha I actually had a thought that perhaps JR didn't even care to learn about or look into anyone ranked under #20.
