Confirmed with Link: [TBL/CHI] Lightning trade a 2027 3rd rd pick for Jack Pridham

[RSchmitz]

He first came over in the Dan Boyle trade iirc.

I completely forgot about that, good memory. He played a handful of games before we dealt him for Downie

 

[RSchmitz]

David Carle, not Matt.

I had no idea we were associated with D Carle in any way. How were we involved with him?

David Carles heart issue was found during NHL draft exams and he basically had his dreams dashed right there. He was friends with Oren's kid and they played at Shattuck iirc, but Oren & Co used the last pick they had in the draft to pick him to fulfill his dream of being drafted. Denver was expecting him to go there as a commit and play (George Gwozdecky was the coach at the time) and they honored his scholarship, as well as pushed him into the coaching staff as long as he was a student.

DC did a few years in Denver, took over the Green Bay Gamblers for a couple years, then came back to Denver under Jim Montgomery, and then took over as head coach. Kind of a crazy path, involved with Oren, becomes a bolt (kinda), goes to coach with Gwoz who later becomes a bolts coach, takes over Green Bay where Coop won a couple of USHL titles, and then goes back to Denver a few years until he takes the reins.

And the great Steve Eminger

Completely forgot about that

Not to make us both feel f***in' old, but uh... that was like 18 years ago now.

He doesnt know, guys.

Its okay Mr. Baby. When you decide to mock Stammerclown University's lectures and act like you can gain a high level education elsewhere, this is what happens. The Clown Commission Board would like to inform you that David Carle, brother of Matt (yes, that one), had a heart condition and the Lightning organization drafted him in the 7th round. The story is on your Google machine if you so kindly wish to pursue furthering your knowledge.

Consider yourself clowned on.

*turns to CCB*
*all honk noses in unison*

Good day.

Last Lightning pick (203rd) while Anders Lindback was still on the board (went 3 picks later to the Preds)

Hell yes he owes a solid. If we started the Lindback experiment earlier than we did, he wouldn’t have his ceremonial drafting take place

That is a fantastic story. I'm a little surprised he hasn't jumped onto our staff yet

Anders Lolback. Man, was he hated on here

 

[Stammertime91]

Brian Lee, Keith Aulie and Lindback was an era of Lightning hockey..

Almost has a touch of destiny to it, doesn’t it?

Its very storybook, no doubt.

That got us the 3rd pick In the 2013 draft = drouin lol

Which got us sergy and then got us geekie and moser .

 

[JoVel]

That Drouin pick keeps paying dividends for us despite him being a flop. Thanks to Bergevin being an idiot.

What if we use geekie as part of a package to trade for Larkin that’s from the drouin tree lol

Scout's Analysis: The top 32 prospects not yet in the NHL

Saw this link in the Larkin thread on the trade board. Don’t know how well respected the guy is, but it’s his top 32 nhl prospects yet to play in the nhl - posted in early April.

Clicked it curious to see if and where SOR was, but didn’t expect to see Pridham at 18th

For what it’s worth - Jason Bukala (and The Pro Hockey Group) has been my go-to for 5 years now. I value him and that group so much, that I have completely overlooked (and forgiven) the multiple years he spent in the Turds organization as their Dir. of Amateur Scouting.

Given my extremely well established hatred for that franchise, that saying something.

Your mileage may vary.
