Even today some analysts speculated until the details come out he likely won’t get moved. I haven’t been following too closely to be honest.

It’s a false narrative. It’s an old story. Been dealt with. What do they gain by exposing players? The players are only involved because it’s part of the storyline. The investigation is more in what hockey Canada did in response to incident. It’s not a witch-hunt into the players.

Weird that there hasn’t been any trades in tonight…kinda of a vanilla draft.
- landros 2


yeah but after being essentially gifted Michkov at 7, if those guys can bring us great returns at the TDL/next draft we can afford to wait for the right deal

During the photo sessions of the players in their new sweaters. They showed it during one of the promo sections of the broadcast.

No, he had a hot dog prior and was licking ketchup off that dripped.

If you listen closely he whispers "American wieners are good"

Bonk fills a need, if not one of the more exciting needs. I think he’ll be fine but certainly wasn’t a homerun swing.

Maybe Colorado moves one of their other D prospects now. They are stacked.

There are questions about his compete level and skating. Was he a product of his linemates? But 132 points is 132 points.
- MBFlyerfan


Maybe his line mates also benefited from his play. Scouting also says he has a very high hockey IQ. Skating can be worked on.

Yeah I can live with it. Because landed michkov. The bonk pick feels a little more further down the rebuild type pick. Personally I think they need to focus on skill. There was still good skill there. In future draft at 22 possibly won’t be.

But maybe they see bonk with a little more o to game too. It will fill a need if developed just kinda feels like maybe or good chance the missed a chance there.

Not gonna kill them for it tho.

Bonk isn't Adam Ginning. He's got legit upside.

There are so many good players left, has anyone really needed to trade up?
- MBFlyerfan


If anyone was interested in moving an existing player and get another pick in round 1, maybe because they don’t have and seconds (sound familiar).
