MacKinnon did a thing.

Yes, that's NAK.

Chuck would’ve taken Seth Jones at 1st overall

I think you should check who went 8th overall before being so presumptuous.

Why? It was AV and Holmgren that wanted Risto.

I tried to make that joke but the post kept getting merged and it looked stupid so I gave up.

I hate life.

[GapToothedWonder]

I would love for somebody to calculate the total current cap hit league wide of contracts signed by Fletcher.

Yes, that's NAK.

So did McDavid. Again. It's every night with this guy

Kraken plan to send Shane Wright to AHL for conditioning stint – Sportsnet.ca

The Dave Hackensack development plan

 

[Beef Invictus]

I was repeatedly told that Haksol is a great development coach

"It was his spot to lose. He got too cocky. Incredibly selfish. He lost it himself"

(yeah I do notice it says "conditioning stint")

Yeah, well, he played TK and Provy at 19 and they clearly suffered no ill effects whatsoever so you can't criticize

 

[Beef Invictus]

Played them with absolutely no guidance or coaching. What a true marvel.

Wonder if there's some stuff behind the scenes that explains his drop to #4 in the draft.
Suspect the only reason he made the club was marketing, but they then realized he wasn't ready for the NHL.

The Kraken want to play Shane Wright more, but here’s why it’s not happening

For now the Kraken want top draft pick Shane Wright, a healthy scratch in four consecutive games, honing his skills in practice so he's ready when he plays.

The simplest explanation with the most evidence is that Hakstol is terrible.

Maybe that’s true….

But you use Torts previous tenures to describe the situation here, I think we can do the same here.

Hak is the guy who sat Sanheim for 3-weeks in a row until Hexy sent him to the AHL, where he miraculously looked head and shoulders above the rest of the league.

Well, if he turns Geekie into a player, what does that say for Wright?

The simplest explanation with the most evidence is that Geekie became a player despite Hakstol's determined attempts to ruin him.

Tortorella: “No I didn’t have time to talk to that guy, I was too busy getting kicked in the face by a horse.”

you forgot to say "whats his name again?, frankly i dont even know it..."

None of Wright's teammates came to his birthday party.

Sheesh. There's a reason there's basically one 6'6+ skill forward in the league. Being that tall doesn't make you a unicorn (right, Flyers?); having that stickhandling and short area body control is the unicorn part.
