Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[2CHAINZ]

Peterka is gonna be a 35+ goal, 65+ point player and I'm gonna be a moody bastard about it for the next decade or so.

Regardless of how well he has panned out, it was such a muppet move to not draft him. You knew Stützle was going to be a star; why not draft his friend and teammate? The Story writes itself. It was really dumb at the time and continues to get dumber by the season.

I wanted to draft him where we drafted Greig even. It still would have been the right move, even though Greig looks like a good one. Didn't know anything about Jar-Jar, but not drafting Peterka there was really dumb.

Too bad Peterka couldn't rack up more than 14 PIMs in 42GP that year to get our scouts interested

Just couldn't compete with Greig (83 PIM in 56GP) and Jarventie (56 PIMs in 36GP)

Buffalo has a great group.

Hutson, Demidov, Reinbacher, Mailloux, Fowler, Roy, Beck and Hage are just "decent"? - Yes other than Demidov.

I must admit that the Dahlin, Power, Byram, Samuelsson quatuor makes me uneasy, they could literally have the best Top-4 in the league

And they have quite a few desirable forwards... Thompson, Cozens, Peterka, Benson, Tuch, Quinn and several good prospects too. McLeod is pretty smart add even if it cost Savoie. Great goaltending pipeline too

Demidov is seen as one of the best prospects in the world and I am quite annoyed no team took him before them. Thank Alfie they didn't pick Michkov last year

Not sure why you think the rest are just "decent". Hutson and Reinbacher are ranked around Yakemchuk. Mailloux and Hage not too far behind. Roy and Beck are Greig level prospects. Fowler is seen as one of the best goalie prospects. Are you saying all sources out there are extremely biased towards the Habs?

You gotta stop drinking the Montreal coolaid. Greig and Yakemchuk are better players and prospects than those guys. I wouldn't answer the phone if that was the call. Roy and Beck are way more comparable to Ostapchuk. He played on the same.wjc team and was better than Beck.

Demidov fell for a reason too. Very risky. Lindstrom and Senneka both have immense potential too.

Where is that "coolaid" coming from? The Score? The Hockey writers? EP? McKeen's? Wheeler? Button? Dobber?

Greig and Yakemchuk are better players/prospects than which guys? There's like 8 names

Greig and Yakemchuk were not even in same tiers. Ostapchuk is also 1 year older than Beck.

Anyway, it's not like this was my opinion, it's what the hockey world thinks. You seem to have a special hatred for Montreal lol, based on that Barzal-Suzuki thread...
