and a ton of draft picks and cap space

Detroit and NJ each have 10 draft picks in the first 3 rounds of the next two drafts.

Okay?

I'm really puzzled by this lol

I'll be straight-forward - There's a reason why Greg Buttons is a former NHL general manager.

 

[esls79]

He better be paying Dave Staples royalties for stealing his Petry/Subban comparison joke from a few years ago.

I'll wait for McKenzie's preview show before commenting - good chance he's seen the scout rankings and seen that a few have Glass above Patrick/Hischier.

Choose wisely lol

It's still early, but how happy are Leafs fans that the Coyotes left Mitch Marner and picked Strome instead?

I was a big Strome guy during that season but given how quickly Marner adapted to the pro game what's there to be upset about?

Not a terrible consolation prize, but I would've been happiest had the one ping pong ball gone in the damn hole and given us McJesus.

I wouldn't have minded that either - Instead, all these Oilers fans have crawled out from under their respective rocks and they're back to being arrogant and insufferable.

/Actually, scratch that, they've always been arrogant and insufferable, just a little more so now.

You say that but the blanket McDavid on the Leafs coverage probably would've driven people insane already.

Hell, if Matthews pushes him in any scoring races this season the Leaf hate is going to skyrocket lol

I'm wrong about a lot but it looks like that was one I got right

If I recall you were a yuuuuuuge Lawson Crouse guy!

I can't imagine it being any worse than the coverage McDavid already receives from TSN, Sportsnet et al. I think what drives me the most bananas is Gene Principe interviewing an opposing player and asking him what he thinks about Connor McDavid. Gene needs to put a cork in it.
