BigBubba Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 With the Leafs having clinched 4th last, it's looking like we're gonna end up with one of McDavid/Strome/Marner, either of whom would make me very happy. And oh, hey, I can start cheering for the Leafs now! Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Thank God it's over. That's all I have to say.And if the Pens and Avs get points, I believe that moves San Jose up to #9 which would be awesome considering how much of an :censored:storm this season was. "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorinK92 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 ^That's literally the exact opposite of my list. I sort of want Columbus to win it, but I also wouldn't mind Colorado, Florida, Dallas, or New Jersey. Part of me does really want the Sabres to win though.

They have a good young core and could be an exciting team in one or two years, McDavid breaking into the league learning and playing aside Jagr would be great for him as well. And if they do eventually pack up and go to Quebec in a few years, then McDavid will be appreciated so much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the ability to draft the best player since Crosby you take him even if you are already loaded at his position (the Jackets are not).

We don't need forwards or goalies, we need a halfway decent defenseman.This is a guy who's said to be the next Crosby. Hell, some are saying he's better than Crosby. I don't care who's on your depth chart, there is absolutely no way you skip out on McDavid in lieu of a "halfway decent defenseman". Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

sportstar1212 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Taking Hanfin over McDavid, regardless of need, would be the dumbest :censored:ing move EVER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Central scouting are pretty much the only people projecting Hanifin to be the best defensemen anymore anyway. Werenski and Provorov have added massively to their draft stock down the stretch while Hanifin has tailed off a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Buffalo Pros: happy Western New Yorkers and message boarders with rustled jimmies. God knows they need it, but because they already clinched Jack Eichel, it's hard to cross my fingers too hard for them. In fact, Eichel would be better in terms of cementing Buffalo as a Great American Hockey Market. Cons: again, happy Western New Yorkers and message boarders with rustled jimmies. My God, the anti-tanking proposals, we'll be swimming in them. On a scale of 1 to 10: 8 Rick Jeanneret calls Arizona Pros: Oh, why bother? Everyone knows this is going to happen, so like Bobby Knight said, better just relax and enjoy it. Cons: Count Bettman's endless self-satisfaction On a scale of 1 to 10: 1 uninformed Glendale alderman Edmonton Pros: He will cheer up northern Albertans as the oilsands stop being cost-effective to drain and the province tumbles into a recession Cons: They make me feel like a parent of bratty children. God, guys, I love you and all, but you don't get to have any more nice toys until you play with the ones we got you! On a scale of 1 to 10: 4 #1 overall draft picks Toronto Pros: THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. For too damn long, the Maple Leafs have languished as a flagship franchise without flagship players. No, Dion Phaneuf is a solid oak door with hands and feet. JVR is good, but not great. And that other guy? Just look at this: I think that sums it up. McDavid, the Toronto native, turning around his hometown team would be glorious for the world. Cons: n/a, baby, n divided by a On a scale of 1 to 10: 10 naked pictures of Joffrey Lupul Carolina New Jersey Pros: Eh, he'd end up with a NYC-area team, and it might finally light a fire under their asses to play uptempo hockey. Cons: How do you know Lamoriello even has him ranked #1? I heard he dropped on their depth chart because of low scores in "getting pucks deep." On a scale of 1 to 10: 5 head coaches on the same bench Philadelphia Pros: A big, powerful hockey market that has kind of lost its way in recent years after the disastrous Richards/Carter trades. McDavid and Giroux on the same team would be a pure delight to watch. Cons: I have visions of some meathead injuring him in practice. The meathead might be Craig Berube. On a scale of 1 to 10: 9 Vets being brought back Columbus Pros: Add McDavid to a loaded roster rounding the bend before our eyes and they'll be damn near unstoppable and fun to watch. Cons: I've never gotten jazzed about Columbus. It seems like the most Middle American city in America. Marketing-wise, it would be kind of deflating, I dunno. On a scale of 1 to 10: 7 claims adjusters in mayonnaise-stained Ohio State sweatshirts San Jose Pros: McDavid would go straight to the playoffs in his rookie year with Joe Thornton there Cons: No. Let them burn. On a scale of 1 to 10: 4.5 Best Fans Colorado Cons: They already got MacKinnon, Landeskog, and Duchene, that's enough high drafting for them. On a scale of 1 to 10: 3 bros driving Subarus Florida Pros: none really Cons: sigh On a scale of 1 to 10: 2 people in attendance at a Florida Panthers game Dallas Pros: We complain about teams not scoring enough these days, but this one would! Cons: Stars fans have gotten awfully smug for a team that's missed six of the last seven postseasons, not sure I want any joy in their lives On a scale of 1 to 10: 6 Jamie Benn monosyllabic grunts Los Angeles Pros: Great for marketing, will help "strengthen Sun Belt hockey" for the people who believe in that hooey without squandering him on a backwater Cons: On a scale of 1 to 10: 5 Jim Fox rising inflections? Boston Pros: Big market, great for bolstering hockey in New England, Jack Edwards will have a field day, and I've always liked Bruins fans. Cons: We'll just spend his time in Boston wondering which pu-pu platter of plugs he'll ultimately be traded for. I'm going to say Chris Stewart, Erik Cole, and Trevor Lewis. On a scale of 1 to 10: 7 facks given ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
