Blake is a God

 

[kingsfan28]

Kaliyev it is. Now stop your whining!

 

[Steve Zissou]

 

[kovacro]

Well, I can provide some reports now that Kaliyev is a King. It will make it more interesting going to Dogs games this year.

 

[SFKingshomer]

I'm shocked but in a good way

 

[KingsFan7824]

 

[AlphaBravo]

Yes! I would like to officially apologize to Blake and co. Draft is a huge success!

 

[funky]

trade - Nash trades 34 to philly for 45 and 65

 

[tny760]

we drafted a legitimate goal scorer? the f*** is going on?

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Two players and a full count swing for the fences. I'm good with it.

 

[RocketKing]

Blake is a God

THIS = LOL

 

[AKAY47]

You guys can all stop crying about Bjornfot now. Well done, Blake, Robitaille & co. Worked out.

 

[funky]

Flyers take Brink

 

[dman3474]

I love hearing that conditioning is an issue, they are kids. Give him some time with the team and the trainers he can turn into a beast. Very happy about getting him.

Now the Bearfoot pick makes sense, they knew they could get him later

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Bunch of babies... there you go, now quit your dam crying... you’re starting to sound like duck fans

[Fishhead]

We will probably see a lot of those boom/bust scorers go now, all the solid defense was taken in the first round.

 

[kingsfan28]

trade - Nash trades 34 to philly for 45 and 65

And took Brink.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Conditioning and attitude can be worked on.

 

[funky]

Detroit off the board again - Antii Tuomisto at 35

Could they have gotten Bjornfot at 33? Or would he have likely been gone?

 

[Statto]

Pleased with Kaliyev, a great offensive talent. If we can get his compete level in line with our usual standard (not last years) he will be a monster. Classic high-risk, high-reward. He was my 2nd choice behind Lavoie going into today, so cannot complain although I’m sure someone will.

Before the draft yesterday everyone would have been delighted with the first 3 guys we have ended up with. So stop b!tching for just an hour or two... please!!

with the run of D I think he would have been gone

 

[onlyalad]

After one minor trade yesterday, several to start today. All the GMs must have been out drinking late last night.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Home run selection. Kaliyev is a goal scorer we desperately need on this team.

With the run on defense he would have been gone.
