but we really need that conditional 2nd for our best winger to really spark this rebuild

None of these guys are doing anything in a rebuild.

The 1st is likely mid in a bad draft.

This isn't the haul people think it is.

It's good work, but nothing Dubas has acquired outside of our 1st potentially this year is turning the page on this team.

I just remembered... Bjorkqvist.

Your average second round pick, ya'll.

That's the one! Dude probably owns a Mustang and likes Coldyplay.

edit: Lol, I totally forgot that some idiot scout (probably Guerin TBH) thought he was 2nd round material.

 

[HandshakeLine]

We are on pace to do a lot of things, SEAL, but pacing != guaranteed.

 

[Freeptop]

Lol U of C general honors used to be a 3.0 GPA. CMU was the only place that came close to how miserable we were.

Don't get me wrong, I loved my time at CMU, but, uh, don't go to there for Computer Science or Engineering if you want easy A's

Likewise. I'm glad I got my degrees, but holy hell, I am glad I don't have to work like that anymore. But you survive those schools and you can survive anywhere.

Since 2000.

2nd round picks by us that have played more than 246 games in the NHL (3 seasons)

Daniel Sprong
Teddy Blueger
Scott Harrington

I mean, maybe Dubas pulls a rabbit out of a hat. But you are not getting franchise altering players in the 2nd round.

"Anyone who doesn't agree with me wholeheartedly and unequivocally needs to f*** off and die!"

Yup it's 2025 alright.

 

[Darren McCord]

You know he's getting a like 3 year 1 mil deal for no legit reason.

lol that’s a good outcome. I’m waiting for the 2.5x3 because he can pk

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Whatever, somebody clonk Sid's wrist with a shot from the point so he has to sit out the rest of the season so this team can go get that top 4 pick. And be way worse next year and the year after.

That's how you expedite the rebuild. Landing like, Misa, McKenna, and Dupont.

So you’re telling me we are overdue.

Yeah, I think the haul is good (not legendary or anything) but the issue is, that none of these things (picks or players) have decidedly panned out. Thus, it's always better IMO to get more picks and more prospects until one of them actually hits and you can start working around them.

And to have them make the transition to the NHL we're going to need an entirely different coaching staff, but we won't make that move until god knows when...

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Meanwhile I'm over here like a dipshit listening to this stupid f***in' pre-game intros song with the horns on repeat for 40 minutes on the youtube stream, waiting for Dubas to say some sanitized corpo-speak bullshit that Yohe fawns over and yinzers eat up.

Jokes on everyone, I can only be killed by being sucked off, not f***ed off.

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

Thanks Mikko, go f*** yourself.

 

[HandshakeLine]

LMFAOOOOOOOOO

Do GMs not know you can do multiple things at once?

You can flip a few of them over the next few years for more picks.

Also I am glad some 18 yr olds aren’t part of a rebuild lol

 

[MayorofWBS]

The plan is....there is no plan.

Not moving Rakell seems like it will be rather regrettable. Four eyes did well with what he did trade today. This team is being ridiculous for not committing to the full rebuild. This team has more holes than swiss cheese and still has a lot of garbage vet players to get rid of. It's gotten progressively worse over the last three seasons. The prospects we do have are more complimentary pieces and we might get our first real building block prospect this offseason depending how we finish the year and how the lottery balls draw out. It's pass the point of repair of getting one big UFA and then trading high picks for youngish complimentary NHLers. We stink at all three levels of the game. Let's not pretend we are the Steelers by trying to stick a horseshoe up kindergarten's backside hoping to good enough to sneak into the playoffs. Stick a fork in it already....

 

[pensfan71]

Maybe Gyz is a part of a trade

 

[Freeptop]

Likewise. I'm glad I got my degrees, but holy hell, I am glad I don't have to work like that anymore. But you survive those schools and you can survive anywhere.

It definitely made the adjustment to working in Silicon Valley startups at the beginning of my career a lot easier, I can tell you!
Though I'll say that moving back to Pittsburgh where I can have actual work-life balance makes it so I don't have any desire to go back!

 

[Jaded-Fan]

lol…

Giving Sullivan a no offense stiff who reminds him of his glory days as a player to overplay over better alternatives is not a bad way to tank.

Getting him two is even better.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

That's the one! Dude probably owns a Mustang and likes Coldyplay.

edit: Lol, I totally forgot that some idiot scout (probably Guerin TBH) thought he was 2nd round material.

It was definitely Guerin. I remember the dude nearly salivating as he wiped greasy sweat off his brow watching Bjorkvist do hip thrusts.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

Eh. According to Wheeler (who knows if he fact checked) we have the most draft picks of any team the next 3 years

And we have done that while only really selling 2 truly quality players off in Guentzel and Petts.

But only one additional first, which are what really matter

 

[Darren McCord]

Maybe Gyz is a part of a trade

Accari plz

 

[sovietsanta87]

If the goal is to have one more run with sid then you top priorities are a new coach and like four new defensemen. Late first rounders in a weak draft are for long term rebuilds. If you want to go full meltdown like buffalo, San Jose, Chicago that’s just not going to happen.
