It’s comical to say the least. Same people who incessantly whine about no longer having x-player, y-player, etc…would be the same ones screaming at Blake to make a move, to be bold, to not hoard so many players, picks, etc. The never ending cycle.
Still not sure if it's astonishing lack of awareness or some amateur troll baiting.
Yeah exactly.
I'll never get over the loss.
Just shitposting. There's no real discussions going on here.
The issue is when you and others categorize things like the Byfield and Turcotte picks as ‘mistakes’. It’s just ignorant-speak.
Didnt TB want either Cernak or Roy and the Kings chose to send Cernak? So if you want to net it out, its the difference between Roy and Cernak.
And shouldn’t you pump the brakes on the ‘Byfield is a bust’ campaign? Have you been watching? Looks like he’s gonna make you look real dumb sooner than later. I can’t wait….
Oh, it's Anaheim's turn this year to get the second game?
A second overall pick can bust and still be a pretty good player. It’s just that many of us, myself included, haven’t seen from Byfield the makings of a franchise-altering, game-breaking talent. That’s what I really was hoping we’d get at second overall. Sam Reinhart, Ryan Murray, James van Riemsdyk, and Jordan Staal, are all examples in the past decade or so of second overall “busts” to varying degrees who still had pretty good careers. What we really wanted was a Malkin, Eichel, Doughty, or Hedman.
I saw a lot of good things from the Kings in the almost comeback w/ Carolina. There's still a good chance that everyone benefits from those trades, but it will probably take the Kings a little bit to find their groove and settle in. Wait and see for me...
PLD playing well too.
Do you think the NYR org was expecting 'game-breaking' talent with their #1 pick in 2020? Can you show me one legitimate pick projection that didn't have Alex Lafreniere as the #1 pick? So, you are telling me that the NYR org made a mistake?
