Well, we know what song will play whenever he scores a goal.

 

[MacKaRtin]

Good vibes only. People fully invested in the team with the respect of their teammates and coaching staff.

Let’s go.

Im winning our next bet and its going to involve Brock.

I don't know why Detroit did this. Lombardi should be in the NHL next season. I know he's about to lose waiver exemption. But what's the point of drafting a guy with a 4th round pick, developing him for a few years, and then trading him for another 4th round pick?

I mean he had 60+ points, 30 goals with a Selke nomination. What more do you want from the guy

Is it Thunderstruck?

 

[The AntiBob]

We dipped into the 29 picks, do we attach the 29 1st to the 26 2nd?

 

[atreyuavenged]

Need to replicate the Toews deal.

No. Going "All In" has been an abysmal failure. We need to rethink things.

This team is going to suck ass by 2030-31. Go all in, trade vets in the future for picks. Same as it ever was, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you go all in or you rebuild. Not everyone can be Vegas and OKC and have the commissioners looking out for you.

The "All in", in my opinion needs to consist of maybe two years at a time. The moves we make now need to benefit this season and next.

This team could suck ass by '29 too. We may want that pick.

Like how, for real?

The team needed to go all-in for a few seasons now. They blew their picks and prospects and have an aging group. There is no turning this boat.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Facebook groups are special. Apparently they think we got that 2nd because we really like someone in the draft.

Maybe just me, but I'd like to see what we can do without burning anymore 1st rounders.

Probably some overager who sucks

And do you see the monsters this boat is surrounded by? Hold onto those 1sts.

Any kind of production in the playoffs at all?

They shouldn't trade them anymore, it gets too risky. They blew their load the last two seasons and have one conference final spot to show for it.

The team can be way worse in a few seasons and end up trading a good pick.

These are not the defensemen you are looking for!

Lmao is that Donovan McNabb

 

[Cypher]

The four 7th round draft picks are really the icing on the cake. 10 draft picks and you just know with our amateur scouts they'd find a way to draft 0/10 NHL caliber players.

Four chances to pick over-agers or sub 5'10 dman

 

[The AntiBob]

Maybe just me, but I'd like to see what we can do without burning anymore 1st rounders.

I'd prefer to keep that 29 first as well, maybe see how we're actually doing two years from now, I just put out the idea since we used the 3rd.

I asked AI to put Darnell Nurse and Morgan Rielly in the back seat.

I admit... I have to take my glasses off and then kinda squint to make it work. Sort of like those old posters that would try to sell in every freaking mall in america in the 90s where you had to cross your eyes to see the picture.
