Can we all let the Hawks have a re-do? Kyle Davidson let his daughter get control of the keyboard
This is what you get for getting Bedard and Moore last year. At least you’re not a ducks fan.Can we all let the Hawks have a re-do? Kyle Davidson let his daughter get control of the keyboard
You can't read. 6'0 D-men are ok and there are exceptional guys in the NHL who are that height, but if you got six guys on your back end who are 6'0 you won't win jack shit. Quinn Hughes got bullied in the playoffs. It has been proven year after year that teams with big back ends win cups. I am not gonna speak about this any further.The issue is you think a 6'0" d-man can't be effective NHLer. But think 5'10" forwards are perfectly fine.
Simashev is fine, but not spectacular. and Silayev is massive and skates very well too. So I guess Silayev is equal to him.
Oleksiak is massive and is fast. Yet he's a 3rd pairing d-man.
Yeah and Graves is real great on my Pens. Not.
Apparently someone doesn't think Makar was a big part of why the Avs won a cup.
Oleksiak is fast. I watched him every night when he was Penguin. It was amazing how ineffective he was. He was bigger than everyone, faster than many and yet he still gave up a lot defensively. Offensively, he was decent. Overall, not a good player. Which is why you can have size and skating and it still not working out. Not saying Simashev is Oleksiak 2.0. But I think he might be more Zadorov. He won't be a Hedman.You can't read. 6'0 D-men are ok and there are exceptional guys in the NHL who are that height, but if you got six guys on your back end who are 6'0 you won't win jack shit.

Oleksiak is def not fast lmao. Makar is a special talent and obviously his size doesn't hinder him too much, but he also can hit for his size. And I never once said he wasn't a big part lol
You have a good night pal
What’s wrong with that?This is what you get for getting Bedard and Moore last year. At least you’re not a ducks fan.

He's fine. Don't hate him. I think he could be pretty good, but I don't think he's going to be anything close to a Hedman.What stands out about Simashev's skating isn't speed - many big men are fast in open ice. Simashev has incredible natural deception. He can combine multiple changes in direction within a second or two and escape with the puck into open space. That's what makes him special.
Does anyone truly respect the Panther organization? Not counting Zito, not Maurice and not the players.. The rest of it. I think it was deliberate.Hey, did anybody explained why not one team congratulated the Panthers ont their Stanley Cup? It's so odd. Was this a rule by Bettman? Like, they didn't allow for the whole team to come up stage either.

100% and it sounds like it was very well attended as rival fans will always fly in to spend a weekend in Vegas. The NHL would be dumb to keep doing venues all over NA.The league should honestly just do the draft at the Sphere every year now. By far the best venue for it and so much better then arenas.
Exactly how this oiler fan sees it. The guy was playing jr.b a year ago the development curve is very impressive and hope to see the rising stock continue to riseGoing against the grain here a bit, I think that O’Reilly’s value next trade deadline will be perceived to be higher than what their first would have been unless things go really wrong for the Oilers next season. London players tend to take big steps forward in their draft +1 seasons and he definitely showed well in the playoffs and Mem Cup.
The issue with that is that the Sphere is ridiculously expensive to host events at.The league should honestly just do the draft at the Sphere every year now. By far the best venue for it and so much better then arenas.
Its also a cool event and special moment for the prospects, I dont like seeing them take that away and do it entirely online like they're currently planning to do.
Biggest boom-bust potential in the Draft imo.Skating's an issue, but I wouldn't say he has huge bust potential. He is a big winger that uses his size too.
But I would say this is the draft mentality in general. Not specific to this draft.
Good value. Not the greatest fit though. But funny that Sabres fans seemed convinced they wouldn't pick this type of player.
The habs will have the last laugh here, there was a bit of a run on size but Demidov's skillset should have had him picked second.Demidov is going to the Jackets now.
