Anyone tempted to go MBN over Helenius btw ?

Forton's Sabres are going to be super talented in 3-4 years.

Barring an off-the-board selection in this last 8 picks, we're looking at back to back years without a 1st rounder from the Q.

Interesting. Hope we can pull another late round sleeper like Komarov if teams maybe aren't looking as closely.

Utah does have SO MANY picks. Needed to thin.

Their front office is looking positively hilarious matching like LDS with Carolina blue ties.

My (2nd) wife (non-LDS) grew up in PHX, AZ from age 6 or 7 through college (U of A in Tucson), then left for grad school, work, marriage, children, (before I was in the picture) etc. Her sister and parents moved east a couple years ago; her brother and sister in law still remain in PHX (Chandler / Mesa).

Supposedly there is either a state law or state custom that any school property be developed with a shared property line and open fence gate between the school and an LDS facility. School calendar is made to accommodate both scholastic and LDS scheduling and logistics.

Analogous to where I live in North Carolina where (maybe this has lapsed / changed) but scholastic sports were not scheduled on Wednesday afternoons / evenings because of Baptist instruction / fellowship, and the like.

Tempted yes, swayed no. I'd rather have had Hage if they wanted to go bigger.

Pretty much all the Jr High and High Schools have an LDS Church next door and the good Mormons will go there for Seminary 1hr a day, they had to take a personal hour not sure if thats changed now and they get some sort of elective credit.

Kings really flogging the new jerseys

 

[HOOats]

Chernyshev and Emery are the only guys I'd trade into the first for at this point. Maybe Elick.

Otherwise just make the picks (please trade one or both).

Carolina moves back

I wanted a center. I always want centers. But in the draft previews from various sources I read,
1. There weren't any large / massive centers in the range BUF would be drafting.
2. To "reach" lower for the size wouldn't have been the proportionate tradeoff for skill.

Goal horn for Bettman

Exactly as my wife described it 30+ years ago and persisting until +/- 2020 with the era of our niece and nephews graduating HS (2 families, 3 different schools).

They do it often and do it well.

 

[Tatanka]

I would watch more GM pressers if Meghan Chayka was the GM.

She is very knowledgeable

 

[Tatanka]

She is very knowledgeable

And articulate among other things.

KA/JF will be live on wgr after the last pick btw

 

[Sabre the Win]

KA/JF will be live on wgr after the last pick btw

'I Tried but we are happy with our pick' - Kevyn Adams live on WGR after the last pick

Who has the excuse counter ?

Apparently Buchi did say he tried to trade the pick and could not do it

 

[SundherDome]

We may all come to love this kid, but Adams is ineffective as a GM. The admission that they are trying to trade but can’t is such a bad look.

Devils tried trading theirs as well and Ottawa was rumored to try and trade theirs as well. If there isn't a market, there isn't a market.

 

[Gras]

Interest move Briere

 

[Zman5778]

Philly trading out of the pick altogether to get Edmonton's 1st pick in either 25 or 26.

Huh.
