ESPN is clueless about hockey prospects

You could have ended that sentence at "clueless."

 

[DoMakc]

Fantilli and Wereneski in Columbus? Ew.

Kent Johnson as well

 

[Henkka]

I never understood the Fantilli at 2 talk. Carlsson is just a better prospect.

Same in here.

 

[Ulysses31]

BJs are back

 

[NickH8]

You could have ended that sentence at "clueless."

Who is Meghan and why are we going off her best available?

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

What kind of madman brings 125 people to the draft

 

[Bench]

If Bettman gets on the stage, is booed, and says shrugging, "Do you want me to tell you about this trade or not?"

You gotta finish your whole drink. That's the rules.

 

[ricky0034]

Fantilli looks like....at least mid 20s

 

[NickH8]

They are not playing the fresh prince theme

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Not surprised. Grier seemed like he was sweating a bit. Michkov fomo?

 

[TheOctopusKid]

Haha - I generally appreciate the fact that Stevie just walks up “Detroit Red Wings select…”

No speech. No thank you. Just a pick haha

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

This poor kid has The Fresh Prince theme playing right now

 

[theYman]

Hilarious they're playing Will Smith for Will Smith

 

[Pavels Dog]

Here’s where it gets interesting

 

[DatsDeking]

They are not playing the fresh prince theme

They are!

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Nothing against Bedard personally but because he got drafted by the Blackhawks I hope he becomes the biggest draft bust of all time.

 

[PuckeDRW]

Here’s where it gets interesting

I just said that, except I spelled (sh)it differently...

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Smith does not remind of Aho.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Does Montreal have the balls? We'll see, I guess.

 

[SimonEdvinssonAtSix]

This is cringe

 

[CorbeauNoir]

Aw come on, don't cringe-torture the kid like that

 

[Holden Caufield]

I don’t think Montreal’s management has the balls to take Michkov.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

That's snip show level embarrassing

 

[Henkka]

Centers first.... just more value.

 

[jaster]

God, she made him say the lyrics? My eyes can't roll hard enough....

Poor kid.
