Post of the day

This may be fitting now

Jake Guentzel is a baby faced assassin.

Wow, huge jump for Philly. Smaller jump for Dallas. 2 of the top 3 have gotten bumped.

Yeah, this changes things for us entirely. I never thought anything like this was possible. Now Hextall has an entirely different talent pool. I want Nico, but my guess NJ wants him as well?

I don't disagree, but I question the thread placement.

Oops, my bad.

I don't know which one of Nolan or Nico will go first but I figure teams have a good shot of getting the better of the two regardless of order.

Other than in 2015 and maybe 2016 (I don't know enough about Rubtsov and regardless he's still got time, obviously), Philly hasn't really hit on their first rounders in the past ten years. This win can instantly change that.

Also the superfecta in the 4th race at the Meadowlands

My favorite line:

"Well, the number six was the only number to pop up three times and the Devils won. Coincidence?"

Congrats to New Jersey on winning the draft lottery. I've always liked the team, be nice to see them draft someone #1 overall again, weak class or not.

Who should my Devils draft?

Who should my Devils draft?

Connor McDavid.

 

[CalamityX11]

Connor McDavid.

Not gonna lie, he's definitely in my top 5....

Who should my Devils draft?

I dunno, but unless you want to be stuck at the bottom forever, you better trade Taylor Hall
