This is a great draft. It's a year you could feasibly get away with being in the middle.

As someone who wants us to pick Kaliyev as early as 4OA, I'm not too concerned about the specific draft position outside of the lottery odds. He's putting together a Svechnikov-like season as one of the younger guys in the draft.

Just make sure to get enough late 1sts/early 2nds to get Kokkonen, Höglander and Fagemo.

said it before ill say it again.

ADA is a keeper and EXACTLY the type of player this organization needs in a rebuild or whatever this is.

hes brash, cocky, has swag, won't back down, plays with some emotion and grit and will chirp and jaw with anyone. kids not afraid and he will drop em and hold his own. PLUS HES TALENTED AS f***.

trying to HEALTHY SCRATCH that out of this kid isn't the correct method to control him.

monitor his behavior on and off the ice, discipline the kid when he steps over the line, and help him mature with off ice support but for gods sake....

DONT f***ING SCRATCH THE KID ANYMORE FOR STUFF HE MIGHT DO OR STUFF HE DID THAT DOESNT AMOUNT TO DOGSHIT. LET HIM PLAY.

understand quinn ???

Yeah. He does.

Way more than you and your incessant ramblings about this topic do.

Don't forget that ADA had a pretty bad game last night, except for the GWG. Took a stupid penalty, and the Bruins scored. Screened Georgiev instead of blocking the shot, another one in our net. He has a lot to learn, and that GWG won't fool Quinn.

Our corsi sucks but our quality metrics are pretty decent. We've been a little lucky but we should probably only be picking 9th instead of 11th.

Unfortunately, we're just not THAT bad. I think we've done everything we can to be that bad, but we're just not.

That's the thing, they just aren't that bad. If anything, outside of Hank stealing a few, they've probably outplayed more teams that some are giving them credit for.

I'd say with a little luck, they may actually have 4 more points then they have now.

Games are not shooting galleries in the defensive zone the way they were under AV. They really have cut down on shots against.

Where they really suck is on the penalty kill. If they could kill penalties at least at league average, this team would be in the playoffs, as much as that annoys many around here. And that's not because they're "good", it's just that there are at least 10 other teams that aren't exactly "competing" either.

Stick to Zucc shilling.

The penalty was the ref being bad, and the GA wasn't his fault.

I think Buch has gotten a little better since Quinn's wake-up call. But I wouldn't be surprised to see him gone from the team eventually. I don't think it is lack of effort but rather he just doesn't have another gear or can be in that gear consistently. Maybe he goes back and plies his trade in the K eventually.

Also, these points aren't "meaningless" as I've seen many say. I know it's said in the context of "the tank," but still. We talk about building a culture and all of that, and at the same time the kids need to learn how to win games. These types of games are important in that sense. And we're getting important contributions from young guys like Chytil, Buch, ADA, Georgiev, etc., which is great. And Zibs isn't really thought of as a young guy because he's been around for years, but his continued ascendence into stardom is just as huge.

So the points don't help the tank, but they're certainly meaningful.

Building a winning culture?

Despite all the disappointment, some of the teams in the Dark Ages were highly entertaining.

They were never really awful. They were just bad, but not bad enough to get top picks.

Sort of like this year, except this year, I think we tried our best to commit to a rebuild. The Dark Ages teams tried to compete and sabotaged their own draft status.

I tend to feel like he should stay in the line up as well he does bring some of those elements, sure he has some boneheaded mistakes but I’m fine with that because it’s not like right now every single point counts

ADA is still considered a rookie, isn't he? Anyway, young D men usually DO make boneheaded moves now and again. Their development is a lot slower than forwards because they have a lot more to do and a lot more ice time, more responsibility. ADA seems to learn from his mistakes from what I can see.

I mean, look at the Oilers.

I'm not discounting culture, but I think it's much simpler than that with Edmonton.

They're simply the worst drafting team in the NHL.

Yes, they have McDavid, RNH, and Draisaitl, and they had Hall, but my dog could have made those picks.

In an entire generation, they've had ONE good draft pick that they've had to put any effort into (Klefbom) and even that was a first rounder.

They also have just ONE player on their roster, drafted and developed by the Oilers, who was selected outside of the first round (Khaira) and he's a fourth liner.

Outside of Khaira, it's no exaggeration to say they literally don't get anyone past the first round.

Rieder was an Oilers pick as well, though I guess he was developed by the Arizona organizaiton.

I wonder if the term Dark Ages is used internally by the team's FO. lol

And you have to look long and hard to find ANY player of value they've added to the organization outside of using a high first round draft pick. Going back a long time. Stretching past three GMs.

Instead they trade one of their few players with tremendous value for a dollar store Norris winner.

He had a very good 1st and an average 2nd (I don’t think the goal was his fault), but had a great 3rd period.
