[Jason Squirties]

If I don't have people blocked already, anyone who yammers on about the "rigged" lottery is an instant ignore from me.

Pro-tip : they likely should've been on your IL already

Agreed

 

[kilowatt]

So what with Berg! LA missed handled him badly should have sent him back for 2 years maybe 3 years

Out of curiosity, was it rigged in favor of a big market team like Los Angeles picking second overall to draft Byfield?

What about one 2019 draft.
Kings have being moved from 2nd to 5th.

 

[Dykstra]

Kings should target Lucius with their pick (considering Hughes is gone). We desperately need a goal scorer.

 

[Steve Zissou]

This is a really good read for anyone out there that has an Athletic subscription.

This kid will be a gamer!

Great name, too.

I can’t get past his name.

 

[kovacro]

I can’t get past his name.

I can see it now, him yelling at TMac "damn you, Todd."

 

[Lt Dan]

I can’t get past his name.

He shall forever be Lucius Jackson to me

 

[SFKingshomer]

I'd really prefer a sniper over most of these defenseman.

 

[Fishhead]

He shall forever be Lucius Jackson to me

You dare rank me.. 12th...

 

[Reaper45]

He shall forever be Lucius Jackson to me

I totally forgot about that song. Probably haven’t heard it in 20 years.

I am jealous. It's on my girl's Spotify and I hear it almost daily

Your cat has spotify?

 

[Lt Dan]

Your cat has spotify?

No , my girl has Spotify. My cat prefers Amazon music. And before you ask, my dog listens to 8-tracks

 

[kovacro]

Perfect, tell me the dog is listening to Sister Christian (Night Ranger).

 

[Lt Dan]

Perfect, tell me the dog is listening to Sister Christian (Night Ranger).

Yes , of course. He also loves Johnny Paycheck

 

[Schmooley]

Yes , of course. He also loves Johnny Paycheck

You watch tales from the tourbus? Theres a good Johnny Paycheck episode. He was a nut.

Sounds like I need to now, with the dog of course

 

[BringTheReign]

If one of the top pairing-potential defenseman doesn't get to #8, I'm onboard with Lucius or Johnson. I think we make Johnson play wing if he entered our system though. He reminds me of an even more skilled Tyler Madden.

No Hughes or Wallstedt?

Interesting…

Maybe Hughes ends up dropping to us?

He has Hughes at 6. I think I will get this,...I subscribed to THN for decades and stopped it some years ago.
I think these are McKenzie's rankings, still? But the issue is pretty in depth, at least it used to be.

His dog listens to Stryper.

You take that back!
