Take this in: the Sedin bitches are washed up and they have NOTHING down the middle in their system.

#1Cs are the hardest to obtain behind #1D and they have neither. Also, in any attempt to obtain these through the lottery in the coming years they are cucked with the addition of a 31st team and these new lottery rules.

Basically hongcouver is completely fucked and it's glorious. If any site is offering it I would bet $1k on them missing playoffs for the next 5 years at a minimum.

Cale Makar is P.K. Subban 2.0. Liljegren is basically Doughty. But I'd agree. In fact the best player imo might not even go in tbe first round due to mablet status.

No he wasn't. Everyone knew Murray was better but the Oilers ignored their scouts, though Murray's still not the best player in the draft (Forsberg, Lindholm, Galchenyuk in that order).

Duchene and MacKinnon would probably be playing wing on good teams desu. So they essentially don't have any proper top centermen. They gave away the legit ones they had in O'Reilly and Stastny.

Everyone knows this. When people say tanking they're talking about the GM not the actual players. None of them actually play poorly on purpose but the GM gives the coach only bad players to ice.

I certainly wasn't shitting on the Tkachuk pick. I argued a lot that year with stupid Coilers/Cantpucks fans who had no idea how good Tkachuk was. They had never actually watched him play, of course.

I want to remind people the canucks lost to the 8th seed kings

Thank you goodbye

>>75602380
If the 2004 draft was redone, would Washington still choose Ovechkin?

I myself would take Malkin.

>GM gives the coach bad players to ice

But AHL guys play their asses off to get a spot on the roster. And they bring up the top players from that league. They aren't "tanking" they're scouting future talent for next year.

If they actually wanted to tank they would bring up guys from the fucking ECHL or something.

You mean the dispute that Metalburg wouldnt let him out of his contract in 2006? It was never "publically" stated it was to play with Crosby, he said it was too much pressure or something like that. Maybe youre right, but theres a reason not many good russians stay in Russia, so I assume he just hated the KHL

>>75602567
It's good to give them experience but the GM knows they'll lose more games by calling them up than if they made a trade for better talent.

You've fallen for the narrative here instead of seeing the actual result.

@75602560

I'm not negative at all, I thoroughly enjoyed watching tankcucks get rekt in the lottery. Wish it could have happened a few years ago to Edmonton but I will take what I can get.

Why not cheer for the most successful non-original 6 team in the NHL?

Americans are more than welcome. We have a strong history of icing great American players like Dough Weight, Bill Guerin, Tom Poti, Todd Marchant etc etc.

>>75602699
They need to trade Giroux and Simmonds now before they get old.

>>75602694
considering tickets cost more now than in 2011, when they were presidents trophy-tier, id say its going to keep dropping. thats really the only way ownership will make a real change.

CAR BALLOON

>>75602610
How's that? Who are going to be their gamebreaking forwards?

The only pieces on Philly I think all 29 other fanbases would want are Provorov, Konecny, Gostisbehere, Giroux, Simmonds, and Voracek. The latter 3 are on the wrong side of the aging curve, Gostisbehere is a meme, Konecny is an alright top 6 guy but not a gamebreaker.

Provorov will be a legit #1D, that's it. Whoever they draft this year won't be a gamebreaker either

>>75602625
Do people in Seattle actually follow the Cantpucks? That must be horrible.

>>75602724
I already cheer for the Islanders m7

>>75602724
Current American players:

Maroon, Pitlick and Hendricks

They use to have more though.

the only way Philly will approach being "scary" is if they can trade off Giroux, Simmonds, and Voracek for a good haul right now. Like this very offseason.

Giroux's decline is hilarious and would be scary to me if i were a flyers fan

On top of this, when was the last time they won a trade? Boychuck for Hundricks, Shattenkirk for Johnson, Elliot for Anderson, that whole ROR trade, the Boedker deal.

Why would you feel bad for this team not winning the draft? They've done shit all for almost 10 years.

Someone tell me one positive thing their organization has done that would lead me to believe they deserve a 1st overall outside of being in last place.

I bet you the Hasb would take Giroux in a second and he'd agree to go there as well.

I could see them giving up Galchenyuk+1st+Juulsen which would be great for the Floyers. They might have to retain 1 mil to facilitate it but it would be worth it.

Simmonds would be snapped up in a minute by a lot of teams too especially the Coilers their GM would be slobbering over him.

>>75602152
The oilers tanked on purpose as well as agreed to rigging by Buttman.

>>75602965
The lottery is good for entertainment. The idea that anyone could win is exciting and this year proves that it's possible.

Winning a few picks won't make your team good. You still have to build around them.

>>75603040
He lives in the Ottawa area in the offseason, which is pretty shit so I don't see why he wouldn't wanna live in Montreal. Say what you want about the place but it does have a certain allure.

Not to mention if he rejected such a trade he might actually get killed by a Floyers fan. They fucking hate him now from what I've seen

>>75602955
I don't see Montreal giving up that much for Giroux. Sure, he's French and they love that shit, but Galchenyuk is proving to be great and could still get better, while Giroux may very well be on the tail end of his usefullness. So also adding a 1rst and Juulsen is out of the question imo.

No doubt Simmonds would be highly sought after. That contract + what he brings his unmatched by anyother player in the league.

I doubt Flyers trade any of them though. They will hold on and keep trying to build a playoff team these next few seasons. It's just too bad the timing is off. BJs are ready to take the division away from the Pongs and Caps, but both are also still good. Islanders had an off year but could turn things around quickly. Carolina may very well break out soon. Devils are meme tier but always seem to play above their level. Rags are rags. In anyother division, the Flyers actually stand a chance at making the ploffs.

Only the picks 1-4 are terrible. The draft gets better from the 5th onwards.

>>75602965
They should change it to take into account the previous seasons performance/pick, and remove the lottery system. So if a team finished last the previous year and got the 1rst, then no matter what, the best they can get the next season is the 2nd. If they finished in the top 2 the past 2 seasons, then best they can get is 3rd. And so on.

>>75603149

Who are you even?

>>75603099

They don't value him as highly anymore though. That kid is being raked over the coals in that market right now. They played him with 4th liners down the stretch and throughout the playoffs. Julien gave him a shot at C before quickly moving him back to wing. Bergevin talked at length in his presser about needing a 1C.

He's as good as gone, it'll be for Duchene if Giroux's not made available

>>75603157
That would go against the actual point of having the draft system. They want the bad teams to stop being bad.
