Uuummm. If?!? Seriously. HE OWNS AN NHL TEAM! Why would we have to wonder “if”. We know exactly what Jacobs. Learn how to write...

You could have said if Palidino or Elon Musk. That’s an “if” statement.
- Gr8daygo

Ok. If Carl Paladino or Elon Musk owned the team, would they take Owen Power 1st overall or Matthew Beniers 1st overall?

But but but
- SDSabre

But what ?

5yr thing doesn't start until next year I believe, and I might actually trade back a few spots if we got 1 and grab another asset
- Buff36

That’s correct
And i like that idea of trading back
Seems like there’s about 7 or 8 guys all pretty closely rated in that top tier

Ok. Now, what would their style of play be like under a potential Paladino ownership?
- RichardRoma

You missed the point.

Thats a tough one both will be very good players in different ways

But if you're looking for a all around player that would be power

Over your boy Beniers?

Neither because they would be smart enough to hire a President to run the organization.

Who knows?
More importantly....
neither own the team, so it doesn’t matter

Hopefully they'd hire someone to run hockey ops who knows what they're doing and let them decide.

Ding! Ding!

Gr8daygo for team President! NO MORE DEFENSEMEN!!

But what ?
- gerbe75pts

But he's trash according to some.

So, you're telling me that they would hire YOU?

Over your boy Beniers?
- jdfitz77

Cole will be a better goalscorer but Beniers is good at everything ..

i cant find one weakness to his Game

So, you're telling me that they would hire YOU?
- RichardRoma

Oh hell no

Gr8daygo for team President! NO MORE DEFENSEMEN!!
- RichardRoma

Oh I’m not smart enough for that gig. I’ll pass that torch to ion, Hommie, Pach, jcrag, stripes, plenty of peeps ahead of me. I’m mainly here for comic relief.

sorry, i meant Power over Beniers?

Oh hell no
- Michael Pachla

Why not? Look at the state this team is in. We NEED you and Gr8daygo and Pegullaville in charge to finally turn this thing around.

No more defensemen. I hope we don’t win the draft for two reasons, 1- no more defensemen. 2- running into the nhl no winning the draft twice in 5 year rule.

Give me 2 or 3 overall this year and let’s see if Adams can right this ship.
- Gr8daygo

Not that you are wrong, just funny to me that everyone said the exact same thing, and I mean exact same thing in the 2014 draft before we knew we were drafting at 2. Most had decided on Sam or Leon at 1 and letting Ekblad go because we were good on D. Well, 7 years later and our defense still sucks.

Your Hall point is conjecture
He was simply stuck in a HORRIBLE offensive system under Kruger
Even Eichel struggled to score
And u didn’t explain how (basically) the WHOLE TEAM looked so much better after the coaching change

And if u think Hutton is STILL a “great backup” then you’re blind & crazy
Good for him that he put up better stats on a good defensive team FOUR YEARS AGO
He’s been extremely inconsistent in his time here,
which culminated this season with stats of:
3.47gaa
and
.886 save%
There’s just no way around the fact that he sucked overall for us this year


Now, those weren’t the ONLY problems we had....
but Coaching AND Goaltending were huge & obvious problems this season
Are u really trying to say coaching was good?
Are really trying to say goaltending was?
Come on man, let’s be real here

Ok wienerhead. Coaching and goalies are all they need. Nice talking to you with all your knowledge of the sport. I’ll step back and wait for all your great analysis and ideas.

But he's trash according to some.

Who said hes trash? I think he turns out how myers was supposed to be

weak come back

Never meant you. I know you think he's the good Myers in the rookie year. I've seen many post that he's Risto 2.0, in all the bad ways.

weak come back
- Michael Pachla

I was being serious. It's long past time to put a select group of knowledgeable fans in charge of the team.

sorry, i meant Power over Beniers?
- jdfitz77

For sure beacuse you already have Dahlin

Beniers is a player you can count on all the time

Yeah and I was right about Leon being Malkin 2.0.

Kind of sad how the Pegulas could have let me and Gerbe run our last 8 drafts and we would have been in a better spot than the smucks they paid millions of dollars too.

I would have done it for free too.
