I get an an tripod feeling from Strome. That's not a bad thing necessarily, but it scares me as a top 4 pick. I'm personally hoping for Marner.

Tampa, Nashville,  Washington come to mind. There are others too i'm sure.

They also had one of the worst defensive teams (not just defence men) in the league. Adding even a great goalie isn't going to solve their defensive woes.

I don't want to deflate the bubble, but Draisaitl and Nurse have done absolutely nothing at the NHL level as of yet (even though they're quite young) and may take awhile longer until they're ready to contribute to a contending team. Yakupov as been extremely average, verging on bust levels of...

The more I read about him the more I'm hoping the Leafs can move a Kessel or Phanuef + the NSH pick to a team in the 7-12 range for Matthew Barzal.

I think Bernier might get that done.

To me that reads as if he sees the writing on the wall in Detroit. Basically he's good enough to coach an aging roster with few blue chip players (young ones anyway) into a first round birth most years, but their contention window is over. Teams like Tampa, the Rangers and some others will be...

How has he looked (haven't seen any Marlies games myself)?

I'd be more than ok with Hanafin and Kylington (sp?) in the same draft assuming there are some good C prospects next year (Leaf scouting should have a good idea about that)....

At the very least I'd imagine it opens up the Pens pick from the Perron deal.... Phaneuf for Yak/Draisaitl + Pitts 1st? Not enough onour end?

Yes it is.

I mean.....wow. EDM may finally be good, but they don't deserve McDavid.

I would really like to see what Tallon could/would do with this team.

I guess, but there's nothing that says they have to take Crouse. They could take Provorov or Barzal or Rantanen. There's no guarantees in drafts and while I'd prefer one of Marner/Hanifin/Strome they'll still likely get a very good player @ 6.

I took people's reaction as more of it didn't really matter, not that it wouldn't happen.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing or anything but I was surprised that the winners of the award over the last 10 years have had little to no (almost overwhelmingly no) nhl success. Anyone have names before 2005 that have won the carbonneau award and gone onto significant nhl careers?

I have this feeling that Hanifin will not go top 3. Leafs will pick Hanifin over Marner and it won't turn out well. Saw comparisons to Bouwmeester the other day which is good and all but we have enough of that skill set on our team (Rielly, and the ghost of Jake Gardiner). Hope I'm wrong!

Someone threw a burger on the ice during play! Arrest that man! Ban him for life!

I don't think I've heard Lupul's name once tonight, though truth be told I haven't been paying much attention. Is he trying?

Ari leading the Pens 1-0  :o
