Move up and get Moore.

 

[Preposterone]

we should have just traded down, with both of these picks, we could have picked our 9th at 17 and we could have picked our 17th at 25 or 26.

This is grotesque. A wee tiny defenseman that will never make an NHL roster when the fastest guy in the draft, who happens to play a position of need, is still on the board. WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK IS GOING ON HERE.

AHHRRRRHGGGGLLLLXX$%#*&FAAHHHHHHKKKKKKK

I dont neccissarily disagre with regards to Danielson (though I dont HATE the pick), but ASP was not going to be there in 2 picks

 

[saska sault]

Amazing how many pro scouts already know we bombed both picks. For anyone complaining we can score.. none of these kids are scoring soon. Goal scoring for the next few years is not a draft issue, almost like you need a long term plan and vision for a few years down the road..

 

[datsyukfan]

Move up and get Moore.

No kidding can’t believe he’s gone this far. Same with perault

Lmao. Zero chance ASP would be on the board at 25-26. It's actually shocking that he didn't go top 15, or even top 10 (he's a better prospect than Simishev).

Lol what

 

[Holden Caufield]

They just interviewed Yzerman on TSN.

He seemed more concerned about the Whereabouts of Nik Kronwall than he did the draft for some reason.

 

[Ezekial]

Trade away Hronek for #17.

Use 17 on a guy who will be lucky to be as a good as Hronek one day… makes sense.

This kid has the propensity to be a better version of Hronek on both sides of the puck.

 

[Petes2424]

You almost had to take him. He was the smart pick. The kid has a great feel for the game.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

Who are you ?

AAAHHHMMFFAXAAGARRRAAMOTHERF*CKINGC*CKS*CKINGARARRRRRGHHHH

 

[Preposterone]

This is a good point. None of the "goalscorers" left at 9 (other than Wood maybe) are contributing before 2025.

 

[Hoog]

Wow, a lot of negativity from the guys that are living off the rankings from Yahoo, lol. These are two stud picks! Interested to see all of you on the board in 2 years.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

at the very least this is a more conventional pick. Looks like most everyone had ASP ranked 17th or better

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Disregard Debrincat, get more firsts

 

[Barry Amsterdam]

moore isn’t good guys. Danielson>>Moore

This is a good point. None of the "goalscorers" left at 9 are contributing before 2025. In particular, Perreault and Cristall. Still what have prefered ZB over ND

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

At what point do we wonder that if there’s something rotten with Moore and Perreault?^^

 

[Vector Cereal]

Well we got my 5th and 11th ranked guys. Consider me a happy camper

 

[Petes2424]

moore isn’t good guys. Danielson>>Moore

The same people crying about him will love when he puts up 100 points next year.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

Great, Moore to the f***in Hawks.

 

[Preposterone]

At what point do we wonder that if there’s something rotten with Moore and Perreault?^^

Perreault needs a LOT of work on his skating. Some of the nastiest (not in a good way) edgework in the draft. says a lot about his hands TBH

 

[Ulysses31]

hawks and coyotes killed this draft IMO

 

[Umingmak]

Hawks are going to have the league's best set of centers for years to come. Makes me wanna puke.

 

[The Real Pastafarian]

At what point do we wonder that if there’s something rotten with Moore and Perreault?^^

I guess we'll find out when we play Shitcago and Beddard is hitting a streaking Moore with a tape-to-tape pass on a breakaway and that wee tiny defenseman we took at 17 breaks his stick on the crossbar afterward in frustration.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

One draft Bedard and Moore...
