I was sure it said Yager on the WHL site scores. Oh well....4 minutes left still tied.

I thought I was seeing thingsThey did update it and it changed.
Winnipeg won in overtime series is 2-2.

Yep, Ostapchuk lunging to deflect a puck on the PP in OT. MJ's announcers were pretty heated about the call that put the Ice on the powerplay. Benson made the play to set up the goal with the shot-pass that Ostapchuk deflected in.

Firkus was MY guy last year. Just ridiculous skill.
Him and Yager together is just deadly. I don't have a data point, just that it seems like they chew up the other lines more than Savoie's line so Savoie has been given the "shut down" assignment which is more like mitigation. They aren't going to stop 'em, just try to make it not be as bad. Rysavy I liked at the U20's, he fits in there too - his shot really pops and it seems like he does some of the dirty work to get the other two the puck.
I didn't realize that the 16-year old who scored the pair the other night is Sasha Lakovic's nephew. Or that he was one of the four MJ players suspended for the balance of the regular season for something that they did on the road in Edmonton. At least the local police said it wasn't worth a criminal charge, but man, that was harsh so I wonder what the hell they did. It certainly dampens interest in the kid for 2025 until we know more.

Ryan Leonard has the makings of the next great NHL power forward
When it comes to Leonard’s strengths, take your pick. And soon, an NHL team will pick him quite early on...

So if we go forward with the 1st. You can never have too much forward talent and they all won't turn out to be 30 goal 60 point guys.

I'm kind of hooked on the idea of Leonard at the moment. Is he a unique (and good) enough addition to our forward pool that he'd be worth jumping from 13 to 7 or 8 for? We're going to have to consolidate and use some prospect/draft capital at some point, is he that kind of guy?Ryan Leonard has the makings of the next great NHL power forward

Same, @Chainshot has recruited me to the bandwagon.
To expand on that, I think he's probably around 8 or 9 to be "sure" he's there. From 13 to get to 8 is going to be heavy in terms of price even if you can convince someone at that point to slip back. And since no one does that under normal circumstances, how much goes into the trade is going to hurt.

Bakes mentions adding to D core in the draft (with Johnson up in the air), Reinbacher, Sandin Pellikka, Gulyayov, and Simachev here:

Hear ya for sure. Just figure we could handle a little "hurt" - trade out of an awkward slot and from a position of strength (finesse F, picks) to get an unicorn for our system,
(a throwback 200' bulldog shooter). Any estimate on the cost to move 13 to 8 from past precedent? (Just as a thought experiment, what pick does JJ land us straight up?)

Moore's motor and skating is best in the draft, it's his tendency to have a bit of tunnel vision vice using his lineages that has him in that 8 to 15 range. He was much better closing out the year with Eiserman on his wing.
I like Moore more than Smith. I know, I know...

Smith's offensive instincts are off the chart but his defensive game leaves one wanting
Smith's abilities are amazing. And yet Moore is the guy I have been more impressed with when watching Program games though other than Leonard among the forwards. And there is a possibility none of those three are still there at 13.

I've really come around on Moore after multiple viewings. I get it now. Easy top 10 pick
