I think there is some validity to people saying that the Flames are shying away from drafting Americans after seeing what happened with Gaudreau and Tkachuk a year ago. Oliver Moore was available (regarded as the top skater), yet he's American.

I was hoping the Penguins would have taken him.

The Jets select the only player who said yes to play in Winnipeg.

If Benson looks to be 10 years old, Barlow looks 28 :D

She literally said Eduard Sale compares to Kasperi Kapanen.

Ugh. That is tough.

ESPN was going on about how Otto Stenberg didn’t score much in the SHL, seriously what do you expect when you play with Loui Eriksson.

Day 1 thoughts:

  • Overall, very boring from a trade/energy perspective
  • Not a lot of WTF moments. Unfortunately for me, they mostly happened with my teams: TOR and NSH
  • Does Glendale have a large Russian population? New revenue source for the Yotes?
  • Carey. Oof. That was hard to watch. And I am genetically trained to hate all things MTL.
  • Will someone please tell the teams that, after 3 or so, NO ONE has to congratulate Vegas, suck up to Poile, or thank the city of Nashville for their hospitality. Announce the damn name and move on.
  • The previous comment can be attributed to me NOT getting an invite to the open tab at Tootsies.
  • Finally, was disappointed that no G was drafted. Was hoping the home crowd in attendance would bust out the traditional "You suck. Its all your fault. You let the whole team down".
