Comedy gold out of Edmonton

Here's hoping they forget the "6" on the official trade sheet and trade "Overall Pick #1" for Talbot.

Bettman would shart himself and then approve that trade in record time (lol)

/or Bernier

I don't get the trade - how does Eberle fit into it? Does Sbisa have to be involved as well?

Bettman only makes that announcement i referred to above for canucks trades involving goalies so yes ... Sbisa will be involved

Sbisa and Miller for the #1 pick

/BOOK IT!

EDM fired head amateur scout Stu MacGregor tonight as well as two other amateur scouts and one pro scout.

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC
EDM changes involve both head amateur scout Stu MacGregor and head pro scout Morey Gare. Both had been with organization for over a decade.

Draft is 6 days away (lol)

EDM has cemented Gold status and may be pushing Canada's team for Platinum.

 

[puckhead]

hope the fat kid with the jew-fro got promoted to head scout

Those mgmt meetings in kelowna must have been something

But getting rid of those clowns might be good for the coil even with the draft in 6 days

Stu: Okay, everyone is talking about McDavid. Saying he's a consensus #1. But let's think about this logically. We need Defense.
Morey: Yeah, we've got scoring punch. And remember a few years back everyone was talking about how Murray was the consensus #1. And we didn't take him. Everyone was talking about that Seth Jones kid going first too. Just because a guy is expected first, doesn't mean he needs to go first.
Stu: Right, so we've been doing some research and we think Provorov. He plays D, and can be friends with Yak and Nikitin.
Devin Crowe, a guy who looks suspiciously like Lowe but with a big mustache: See? That's the type of thinking that gets us a roster every other team wants. I LOVE IT.

Chiarelli: *rubbing temples* Someone kill those three. I'm heading to Florida. All I need is a laptop and access to Hockey's future.

Most people were pissed that EDM got #1 because they expected them to take Murray and we'd have gotten stuck with Yak.

I seem to recall the "Fail for Nail" chorus was centered around Blue Jackets fans. Guess I could be wrong, though.

Best player in the draft went 5th anyway

Reminds me when Montreal had the 5th overall and jackets the 6th and the jackets got all excited they got their player. MacLean was so excited in a video about Montreal taking he goalie! Carey Price and Gilbert Brule....

Maybe among some, but there is a faction of Leafs fans that want Dion to stay forever. Most people I know never wanted Yak. Too much potential to flake out.

And the number you are looking for is not 5th, it's 11th (Filip Forsberg).

Just one of the many reasons why Doug MacLean is not allowed anywhere near an NHL front office ever again.

Fucking Zherdev when the next 4 were:
Vanek
Michalek
Suter
Coburn

Phaneuf, Carter, Dustin Brown, Seabrook and Getzlaf all went later too. Then he takes Dan Fritsche in the second and fucking Matt Carle was next and SHEA FUCKING WEBER was 2 later. You gotta be a serious fuckup to get nothing out of a draft that deep.

Then went and got Filatov a few years later.

But maybe that was Howson. Which is not better in any way.

Filatov is on Howson

At least Doug MacLean still has Rick Nash to celebrate about!
