[Boss Man Hughes]

I think we are no longer interested. It was reported we had a trade worked out in case demidov wasn’t there. I think Hughes sees his top 6 almost done except for one UFA and therefore no room for him, just a guess though.

I expect they are interested but they probably don't have what the Jets ould be looking for.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

With the amount of exposure he’s had, there must be something teams really don’t like with Zetterberg. I get that he’s small but the skill level is very high.

His skating is poor.

Just give 'em like... Dvorak or something. And Harris and one of next years picks.

 

[Schooner Guy]

Should we trade our 224 pick for a 7th round pick next year just for old time sake?

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Well, not that I thought he was a superstar in the making or anything, but I didn't expect Ryerson Leenders to last til the end of the 7th round.

You are welcome.

 

[Draft]

His skating is poor.

Straight line yeah but I thought he was pretty agile.

 

[417]

Well you are sometimes tough to follow. In the same post you respond, you directly respond to something I said...and then in the same post, you generally talk about what people say? Just be more precise, and there will be no issues.

Well apologies if I wasn't clear, but again, I wasn't suggesting YOU called someone an idiot or stupid, I was using it as reference of when an opinion (which was your point) crosses a line into something else.

I used it as a reference point to our discussions about this being a message board and people just posting their opinions. I never once even suggested that you crossed that line.

I'm talking for myself. I never said people are never too harsh to judge. I don't know why I should often bear other people views....lol. My view is my own. I'm dissapointed in today's based on my list. But we will have to wait 4 years to be sure. But when a post will be made to analyse TODAY'S, I can't like it. Let's bookmark it and see in 4 years.

I haven't read all of your posts in this thread, but I've known you awhile here and I don't think you would have crossed that line, so that's not and has never been the discussion here.

But talking about your disappointment for today. Are you only happy or rather, do you only evaluate the Habs performance at the draft table based solely on if they agree with who you would have picked?

I mean in the 1st round I get it, in the 2nd round even to a certain degree I get it...but past that, no one knows.

Incoming our last pick

[Habs13]

Dammit... a D! Lol.

i took galvas in the 2nd round lol

 

[Wateredgarden]

Well, he's got the name to be a number 1 defenceman.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Well, not that I thought he was a superstar in the making or anything, but I didn't expect Ryerson Leenders to last til the end of the 7th round.

I’d take almost every goalie we have in the system over him, even a guy like Dobes, so it’s not really all that surprising.

 

[Whitesnake]

I mean in the 1st round I get it, in the 2nd round even to a certain degree I get it...but past that, no one knows.

I made a top 100. I had 3 out of that list from my top 100. So for me, day 2 is not a success. Not being able to move up in the 2nd, not a success.

But then even if the players that they take is not in my top 100, usually I still could be happy if I know the guys. Even if they didn't make my list. How can I be happy when I don't know any of those guys? lolll

I'm thrilled about yesterday. It's insane. yesterday was the best 1st round in ages for us. I love Hage also more than probably a lot of people here.

But today as been underwhelming. Today. And the great part here is that the expectations will be at an alltime low.

 

[Treal]

Well that's that! Congrats to all the kids that got drafted this weekend. Hope I see a few of you on my TV in the future.

 

[Michoulicious]

Very disappointed would could not even spend a frickin 4th rounder on Poirier...
