Anyone else think is the plan is to suck badly next year and trade everything that isn't nailed down at the deadline for all the draft picks?
I'll be disappoint if we don't make Richards an offer. Would Like Rostislav Klesla as well.

Francis said he recently spoke with Joni Pitkanen's agent. Was told Joni still could not put foot in skate.

Vagrant out of curiosity, what about this draft aside from the Wesley pick was anything like a JR draft?
I wouldn't want to minimize the importance of the Wesley pick when making that comparison. Taking a player over slot from Plymouth is something so inherently JR that it's absurd. Additionally, taking a goaltender that ended up in Plymouth in the early 2nd is another avenue we've taken previously. Robb Zepp is another Plymouth goaltender we burned a pick on.
The fact that Kyle Jenkins' defensive partner last season was Tyler Ganly (2013 6th round pick) on a team where we already had two prospects we were watching is another JR move. One could argue that the Foegele pick was a lot like the Zac Dalpe pick in the sense that it was a player spurned by the CHL for being too small that had a growth spurt and then put up and unreasonable amount of points in a lower league. Was headed to the BCHL to play for the same team Dalpe did as well before early enrollment at UNH to play this Fall. Do we have any connections to UNH? Well only that our 3rd round pick from last season, Brett Pesce, also plays there.
If you get down to brass tacks, even the Wallmark pick has the six degrees of seperation feel to it considering we were watching Sweden at the WJC hard last season because of our interest in Erik Karlsson. It's just all too familiar.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect...
How is this productive and in what way does it disprove my points?
It was a Princess Bride reference. It was supposed to be funny. I'm sorry you think it was.
peters was traded to plymouth a year and a half after he was drafted. very clever wording to make to completely different situations look comparable, though.Additionally, taking a goaltender that ended up in Plymouth in the early 2nd is another avenue we've taken previously.
How about 3C and top-4 D?
Also on RFA qualifying offers:
It's embarrassing that I haven't seen that movie. Disregard and award yourself two points.
