Post-Game Talk: Stars Beat Dallas

[ACC1224]

I sincerely hope we don’t pick anybody up and save our picks. We are back to draft shmaft…. Go all in what 6 years straight now. Just spinning our tires. William, Marner, kadri, Mathews, Rielly, all came through the draft. Man you’d think it was some top secret formula on how to obtain top players

They won't be picking that high it in the draft where you find those players.

So there are very good players even lower in the 1st round, Hyman went in the 5th round. If you aren’t in you can’t win, as the saying goes.

Already no 2nds, draft shmaft, that’s what this place is

Yep the old GM loved to throw away his picks. I'd wait for it to happen before blaming the new guy for doing it, regardless they won't be picking any of those sure bet you listed earlier.

How do you know, we probably pick around 16 this year and already no 2nd or 3rd and no 1st or 2nd next year. They’d all be crap anyway I guess. Lol

Edit to add: why would any team trade a player that could help us for a useless draft pick?

History, shows it rarely happens. When have you ever heard of a guy going 16 guaranteed to be a top line player? They may become one but they aren't one heading into the draft.

Well if that is correct, why would any team trade a useful player to us for our useless draft pick?

Core four comes up big!

Nice win.

Thread name remains undefeated !

Just to confuse you.

Wow. Nylander was 2nd in ice time for forwards SH last night.

I am not sure that is tge way to go

They're using him there more and more and he's been doing fine, and with Kampf and Jarnkrok both out, what are the choices? Last two games he's taken most of the faceoffs on the PK and won 6 of 8.

I know it's a small sample size, but of the six players with more than one SH faceoff this year, he has easily the best % (63.6 - nobody else over 50).

Joe Sakic went 18th. Defenders often drop because they take longer to develop.

Just saying we need to keep that first it could be a decent spot.

Sure, just don't know what that had to do with my post.
