Maybe just me but I miss the old time hockey players, Tocchet, Lindros, Clark, Neely, Tkachuk, just to name a few. Dayem they don't make them like they use to. Skilled can skate and fight.

this is a super productive draft if not just for the number of bodies coming in

need to ship off some more dead weight this season for another 1st and 2nd next draft and you got yourself a nice restock

Yup our pipeline is still depleted. Not all of the kids will make it to the show.
 
Blake likes trading with Bergevin. That's at least the 3rd trade they've made in 2 years, and they were talking Pacioretty too.
 
Nathan Lagare still on the board I believe. Would be a great pick.

Nathan Legare, RW, Baie-Comeau-QMJHL
Jan. 11, 2001 | six-foot | 196 pounds

Skating: 45
Puck Skills: 55
Physical Game: 55
Hockey Sense: 65
Shot Grade: 60

Legare was a top player on one of the best teams in the CHL. The best way to describe him is he’s a power play weapon. He lines up on the left circle typically and creates so much havoc from that spot. First, he’s got one of the best shots in the draft. He’s scored a lot of goals this season wiring a shot from long distance off a post/crossbar or blowing it past a goalie. He’s a great scorer and it’s where he’ll make his money, but he’s also a very smart overall player. Legare can hit tight seams consistently and is very crafty overall with the puck. He’s not often going to wow you with an end-to-end rush, but he’s skilled. A wonky skating stride is Legare’s most noticeable weakness. He has a decent top gear, but the stride isn’t smooth with a rough first step, and he can tail off toward the end of a shift. Legare is a big body forward, but he’s not overweight, it’s a lot of muscle. That’s good, but also a minor cause for concern as scouts wonder if the skating can ever improve because his strength level is so advanced already. He’s also tough on pucks, goes to the net, is physical and is hard to dislodge along the boards.

NHL scout on Legare: “He plays a heavy game. He’s got that right-shot cannon he can launch from the circle. He’s very smart, too. I just wish he was a better skater.”

Was gonna quietly make smartass remark about another vanilla around 6 foot 200 lb d-man, but Fagemo is RHD :naughty: :sarcasm: Edit: er, jk, he's a winger. Wonder who I got him mixed up with.

Really wanted Grewe at some point, he's just enough crazy
