There's no run to make. This team is gassed and has nothing left in its current set up. If the Bruins keep going on in this "win now" mode, we will be just like Detroit was post Mike Illitch's death.

If that's the pick with the Bruins pick for Orlov, I'm fine with it. Leafs could have done so much better. Cowan was 15th on my board among OHL players and the general consensus is this was a reach. If they were going to reach, Lardis was the guy.

Let's just say on Lawrence's master list he had a 3rd round average
I guess we'll find out in 5 years
My guess is Price tried to pronounce it in French and just couldn’t. I don’t think there is French pronunciation for the ei combination.

2023 NHL Draft: Best players available on Day 2
We had the excitement of Day 1 of the NHL Draft on Wednesday. Now, the real fun begins in Nashville....
www.dailyfaceoff.com
Oscar Fisker Mølgaard, C (HV71, SHL)
Mølgaard didn’t produce much in the SHL, but the fact that a 2005-born played more than 40 games against some of the best competition in Europe is nothing to sneeze at. He was excellent against U-20 competition, and, honestly, the smart, controlled center could end up becoming one of the biggest steals of the draft given his pro-ready tools.Anton Wahlberg, C (Malmo, SHL)
Standing tall at 6-foot-3, Wahlberg was a C-rated prospect in the NHL’s initial Central Scouting Rankings. Now? I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go in the first round. He had an impressive season against men with Malmo to help the team avoid relegation. Wahlberg then closed the year out by helping Sweden win silver as one of the team’s most valuable forward threats. He’s a good skater for a prospect his size and works hard, hits hard and wins a ton of battles along the boards. Teams will appreciate his work ethic.Ethan Gauthier, RW (Sherbrook, QMJHL)
One of my favorite players from a style perspective, Gauthier is fierce, aggressive and never stops moving. He saw his offensive output jump by 30 points to a nice 69 this year, establishing himself as a strong goal-scorer. His power-forward style suits him well in a middle-six role.

Must be hard on scouts, they go the whole year looking at certain players, assuming the picks they have. Deadline approaches and bam guys you were probably really thrilled about in that pick range evaporates when picks are traded.

They have been in this "win now" mode for over 55 years.
Detroit has missed the playoffs 7 years in a row and counting.
Bruins have not missed the playoffs more than twice in a row.
7 times total in those 55 years.
By the way, real classy visual.
Hooray. 55 years of not being able to pick a lane under Montgomery Burns after Espo, Bucyk, Orr, and company won two cups in three years and only getting one cup in that entire span after the early 70s teams. Always competitive enough to make the playoffs, but just not enough to get over the hump or make a deep run. Just a nonstop cycle of the blue balls. Awesome.
It's a gif of a cartoon that airs on network television in prime time. Its not like I posted someone doing the actual thing.

Definitely has to suck. I'm still in the camp that thinks the time was right this past season to go all-in. Certainly didn't work out, but I appreciate the attempt by the Bs brass even if it meant sacrificing some draft picks. I do feel bad for the scouts, though. Frustrating to scout all these great players, only to realize the Bs will get none of them.
It's a bit stunning to me that no team made a trade in this year's first round. I am sure there were plenty of GM's (DS incuded) who were burning up the phone lines trying to make a deal to trade for a pick. Lack of trades seems due to 1) quality of prospects this year, and 2) what a premium cap space has become. Teams would rather roll the dice on a first rounder than take on a more established player that eats up cap space.
Amazing that Vegas won the Cup and STILL at the 32nd pick got Edstrom. Serious quality at 32. Nothing in the draft is guaranteed but I would bet a lot of money that this year's crop of first rounders is going to end up being a notable class.

Too many bombs off the melon.

The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
In a few years or as early as next year...Detroit is going to have a solid team with Chicago following behind.
Ottawa could have already been up there with all their amazing young forward talent, yet they've had some bad injuries to their goalies and have not built a strong defence core.
Would be nice if the Sabres don't squander their soon to be superstars on their team and build a competitive team.

Dave Poulin was just telling a Story how Brian Burke would get up and go to another teams table at the draft, just to mess with the media. lol
