Post-Game Talk: Requiem for the 2023 NHL Draft

[bopeep]

I had to put my dog down today and the draft was underwhelming. Double sad.

But, for the draft, I remember us being a winner in the 2012 draft and it turned out to be awful so who knows.

Sorry about your dog

I don’t understand this rangers blueprint thing. What have they done in the playoffs in recent memory? They have an ok team. That’s about it.

 

[Nevins]

The biggest problem of this franchise is the absence of Elite talent.... Ok we are complete at all positions but name me an Elite player in this team and his prospects? There are not any . Too often having bad selections in the 1 st round, or traiding our 1 st and 2 nd round picks, it gives this: a small and average team.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I'm not defending anything and there's no irony.

yes, there's irony, genius, you're being super judgmental as you can't accept people see things differently.

If you read my message properly, it is a message board afterall, it's more calling out all the whiners every time management does something,

See more irony as you're whining about whiners. You're a whiner yourself. You call people judgmental, yet you're being super judgemental. You were like that in the PLD thread. Whining about people, not actually debating.

just for them to get a get out of jail free card by saying "I'll eat crow". This fanbase is toxic at the best of times and we're hated everywhere now.

Every fanbase is hated by other fanbases. Every fanbase is toxic to the same degree, except maybe the Leafs. And more irony again as you are being toxic by being intolerant of different views and sentiments. Instead of simply debating, you act completely triggered.

I mean, if you don't like it here, GTFO, here's the door, good riddance.

Matheson trade was the same as well. Tons of people hated on it, as usual. How's that looking now?

Dude, the great majority of moves will not be unanimously accepted. And it's not the same people everytime. Grow the f*** up and realize we all have our own extremely varying likes and dislikes, our own unique desires and expectations.

People have a right to dislike something, adolf.

 

[abo9]

You see it in the trade threads all the time....

Can't deny that... but overall I can't fault people for complaining when any move that looks good individually translates to nothing in the grand scheme of things.


It's not like Hugo's moves have been homeruns yet. Most are mostly up for debate

 

[LaP]

A lot of AVS fans say he was mismanaged by the team as well. They were in their cup run and didn't take the time to develop him. We will see.

All our fans says we mismanaged AG. We did. But even with a better management he would remain AG i.e. at best a support guy.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

I don't know why we kept half the scouting staff from the MB era.

I don't know why we are incapable of adding elite talent.

And I don't know why we expect anything to change.

2 has a lot to do with 1

 

[Twisted Sinister]

Who's called this team successful? We're just saying you complain at everything.

BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SUCCESSFUL.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

We still need elite talent but I really like how our D in shaping up.

Its not like our offense is barren, we're still decent up front but with another great talent I think this team could do some damage in a few years. Getting that player obviously won't be easy though.

Can we get the Celebrini thread going already?

 

[BenchBrawl]

What's the point of watching hockey, cheering for a team?

Both in terms of winning and entertaining, they have failed for 30 years.

This draft was an insult.

 

[CoopersFalls]

The only thing I like about this draft is the goalie's - one of them is bound to hit.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Holy shit, I just watched the Lapointe & Bobrov PC.

Bobrov looks sad. Not enthusiastic at all. Very different from last year.

When you read El Cloun's strange tweets from last night, it gives me the vibes they wanted Michkov but got overruled at the last minute.

The people deserves to know who is responsible.

Lol because El Cloun said it, it must be true.

What a crock of shit. They wanted the RD, they always did. They were unanimous and had him high on their list since the winter.

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

They went with the second best because stupid Molson didn’t want to deal with the Michkov show. It’s a joke, he should never get involved in hockey decisions. Also, they better trade Dvorak before his clause kicks in

 

[Team_Spirit]

This draft was an insult.

Like 20 of us watched the finals and were active in the playoffs thread.

Playoffs hockey is so good but most are stuck in fandom. Unfortunate, especially in the modern era with easy access to all the games.

 

[le_sean]

I expected getting rid at least of 1-2 vets :

Edmundaon
Savard
Dvorak
Hoffman
Armia
Anderson


I don't even know what are we rebuilding exactly, we are using the same material

You should realize no one is going to want Hoffman and Armia. They will keep Savard for the young D. The reat, there’s over 2 months left of summer, including free agency. When a team strikes out on this bad crop, they will come to the Habs.

Dude have you seen Bobrov's tone and facial expressionj at the PC? Does this look like a man enthusiastic about defending the choice they made yesterday?

The contrast with last year was significant.

Whoever took the real decision should have sat his ass in that presser.

He always looks like that. He’s f***ing Russian. Just like Michkov looked miserable even after getting drafted.

 

[Lockin17]

Reinbacher = Awesome pick could not ask for a better pick after the top 3 (I hate Mitchov attitude)
Fowler = Goalie is a stud, his stats are talking for himself, he sure will have some NHL games.
Xhekaj = Might be a 4th liner that brings some protection for our little guy. (got picked a bit early)
Bogdan = Seems like a legit D that can be trusted on the ice, did not know him at first but i like him now.
Miller = wow might be a steal that kid's got game. will see in the next season with the Rempart when he's #1 goalie there.
The rest i don't really care and pretty sure we won't heard from them in the long run, Maybe Harris could suprise us..

 

[BenchBrawl]

Complete bullshit, and very racist tweet too, but never mind that.

Bobrov didn't look like that at all last year.

Don't know who you are talking too because he's on my ignore list.
So i beleive you, your post makes sense

 

[Kennerback]

He always looks like that. He’s f***ing Russian. Just like Michkov looked miserable even after getting drafted.

Keith Jones, president of the Flyers just now: “Number one for us is getting talent…We want some 100-point players.” Just saying that there's two scouting staff. One who believe they picked up a franchise players and one that must of not believed said player was. Time will tell.

 

[David Suzuki]

4 great arguments that wreck everything you say and all you can go for is a personal attack. Typical.


@Clownzymandias

the fella he’s arguing with literally called him hitler for disagreeing lol

 

[le_sean]

Complete bullshit, and very racist tweet too, but never mind that.

Russians aren’t a race unless you talk to Vladdy

And yeah, he always looks stoic

 

[JeffreyLFC]

You guys want to know what is more scary?
Philadelphia, San Jose and Chicago should finish near the bottom next year and they will have very decent chance to also get Celebrini or Eiserman or Demidov to what they currently have! That's a f***ing amazing rebuild!
