It’s artificial intelligence that’s built into all android phones. It’s pretty handy. I have an iPhone so I use chat gpt myself.
I figured it was some kind of AI thing. Hilarious that I own an Android but didn't even know what it was although you're also talking to a guy who's never been able to figure out how to use mp3 players and I'm not so sure they even exist anymore.

Not sure about martin or McQueen cant take risk here. O brian I'll be more comfortable with. Frondell would be sweet if he slips.
Martin’s going to take Frondells lunch money. I like frondell but I like Martin more. I might like Eklund more than Frondell to be honest.

McQueen is risky but the kids 6’5 with insane amounts of skill. I think we are looking at a future top 6 star player here. he is only outside of the top 4 because his back injury.

I too want Obrien. I think the chances of seeing him on the board at 7 are slim.

You can learn to use the ai. It’s very simple. I promise you will love it.
 
You didn’t ask me a question you gave me a homework assignment.
Giving you a grade of incomplete.

You claimed that it was a tired narrative that the B's tend to go "off the board". My bringing up last year's 1st was to show, that they do indeed go off the board, with their most recent 1st... so it's not a tired narrative at all.

Personally I want either Desnoyers or Martone to be available at 7 . I suspect I will be disappointed . Desnoyers would be my first choice

Using the Russian kid was disingenuous, given he was ranked mid-first by many. He dropped as a Russian - putting that on the Bruins alone is kind of bunk.

If you consider picking someone within 7-10 spots at the end of the first a real reach, it’s really not worth discussing anything in this with you.

Why am I suddenly getting the McQueen "good feeling". I normally would not want to risk taking a player with his medical history, but a poster put out yesterday that the doctors said he broke his back and not disk related, and healing is not problem. I have back problems, and I am a believer once you do you will always have problems, but his injury seems a little different.

But they literally have the same rankings you are talking about from Button etc.
Button is one of the ones on there that is up to date.

If you look at each ranking, the ones that are up to date either have him ranked highly OR their rankings are all over the place...
  • TSN/CRAIG BUTTON is up to date (May ranking) and Martin is 6th
  • THN/FERRARI is up to date and they have Bear 7th, Desnoyers 16th and McQueen 17th
  • THN/KENNEDY is from Janaury
  • MCKEEN'S HOCKEY is from March and they have Martin ahead of O’Brien
  • ELITEPROSPECTS.COM is up to date and they have Frondell at 13 (Martin higher)
  • FCHOCKEY is up to date, they have Martin, Smith, Mrtka all in the teens.
  • DAILY FACEOFF is up to date and he’s 7th
  • NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING is from March and they have Bear in the top10
  • DRAFT PROSPECTS HOCKEY has O’Brien 15th and Frondell 18th
  • SPORTSNET/COSENTINO is up to date and has him at 7th
  • SPORTSNET/BUKALA is from March and they have O’Brien 11th
  • RECRUIT SCOUTING is from February and they have Bear 7th
  • DOBBERPROSPECTS is from February and they have O’Brien 11th
  • SMAHT SCOUTING is up to date and they have Desnoyers 11th, O’Brien 12th and McQueen 20th.

Given Pasta and Macs age i would have to think adding a guy like Robertson now while they are both still in their prime would be a pretty good move. Especially with this front office there is no guarantee they draft and develop any forward properly, however you know what you're getting with Robo (or Necas).

Maybe that forward at 7 is 3 years away from an impact. Do we want to waste 3 of our top players' prime while we wait?

Whereas if you get one of those two guys now you have a clearer picture of what we have and can move forward and build the team appropriately.
I think they run into the same issue if they keep trying to build like this. I appreciate Mac and Pasta but thats really all they have.

For entertainment I hope it’s this confusing June 27th at 7 pm

Good to be surprised instead of knowing Will Campbell going 4 to Patriots like

His stock rose after most ppls lists where published.
It definitely rose. Earlier he was around 16, then around 10. 7 is a bit of a question mark but then Utah apparently likes him too and they pick 4th so who knows. The kid says he looks up to Tom Wilson and Sam Bennett so what's not to like and I'd definitely look at him over McQueen and his question marks. Whether or not the high skill of players like Hagens and Frondell should place them ahead of this kid and his grit is another debate and hard to answer.

I don’t think it’s hard to answer. The hardest thing to acquire is elite offensive talent. It’s not a surprise so many here are drooling over Martin (or Aitcheson) but this team is bereft of top tier offensive talent. Drafting for grit in the top 10 would be so silly.
