No. I’m saying none of us know squat right now so the naturally tendency is to stick with the guys we know.

Svboda is really the only "oof" pick. Been joking about size but I am very happy they're picking physical players with at least some size and not 5'8-5'10 forwards. This team needs that former far more.

Sharks having a good draft. Halttunen probably wasn’t BPA but still a fine pick. Svoboda was a bad pick. Very bad. Cagnoni is a great boom bust pick. Could end up nothing or a major steal. Landen is nice to have a steady RHD.
Your post is totally fine. However, when you align it with a post taking an unnecessary jab at another poster, the context of your post changes. It comes across as validation and agreement.

Can't wait for Sharks hockey to return someday
Unless I’m specifically naming names then perhaps, but the fact I used “some posters” removes the specificity of whatever they posted. It’s moot. I don’t see you having an issue with the guy who made the actual post attacking someone.

I probably prefer Suchanek a little more anyways so hopefully we can get him.

Perron has excellent physical habits and is smart off puck, no reason he can't Crack the bottom six just because someone is small does not mean they are boom or bust.

Yes. Age curves are definitely a real thing, but there are players who can break them.
The Nemesis
Semper Tyrannus
Guys who have gone though at least 1 year of draft eligibility without being picked. So basically guys that are already 18+, excluding early birthdays.
Or if you're using the term in CHL parlance it's guys who are in their age 20 season
Juxtaposer
Outro: Divina Comedia
To put things in perspective, with the Sharks original set of picks we could have had:
94: Perron
100: Lipinski
123: Minnetian
130: Sotheran
132: Mania
94: Perron
100: Lipinski
123: Minnetian
130: Sotheran
132: Mania
My vote is that since goalies are such a lottery ticket roll the dice on 2 or 3 with the remaining 7th rounders and see if anything pops down the road, versus taking overagers at this point

Blanket attacks can still be considered flames. You don't need to name names to take a shot at someone or group of someones.
Not saying you did because I haven't been in on the whole conversation, but it's just something worth noting.

He’s 3/7 in my books. I like Smith, Musty and Cag.
I’m not only negative, I’m just very critical

It’s kind of expected these days. This board is getting some serious hardliners who don’t like seeing criticism of the team

Eh, you can make a list like that for every draft and for every team (and every poster, haha). It's more understandable in the top-half of the draft, but once you get out of the first you really have to wait for the results. We have no idea how these players are going to turn out, or where they would have been available.
