  1. Historically pick #76 yielded Mike Knuble ... most games (1098) ... most goals (298) ... most points (548) ... also defenceman Keith Carney
  2. From a selfish perspective of the board, I wouldn't make that trade
  3. Only 12 picks until the next selection ... thank you Andrew Shaw and Stan Bowman
  4. His big brother Kasperi could be available at the trade deadline if Pittsburgh out of it (pending RFA) ... just looking ahead
  5. Looking at the history of picks 63 & 64 the best selections historically are 63 - David Krejci (most games, most goals and most points) 64 - Brad Richards (most games, most goals and most points) One can dream
  6. Another disgruntled veteran being disposed of? CBJ take on an extra $2.375 but for two years less term ... guess they are trying to"change the room".
  7. Were they TRYING to make a deal but couldn't complete it ... otherwise, makes little sense ... unless Waddell was "indisposed".
  8. Teach me to trust a media report ... makes it even more confusing for me
  9. The surprise for me is that they only buy out two unrestricted seasons ... Jones got $9.5 for eight UFA years
  10. Someone (Detroit) wants to move up to get Aatu Räty? Wouldn't mind the habs moving up to grab one of the best still available.
  11. One of them later pointed that Seattle needs to fill not only their NHL roster but also their AHL team, so selecting players eligible to go to the Charlotte Checkers (AHL team shared with Florida for 21/22; they will have their own AHL team in 22/23 - Palm Springs).
  12. Logan Mailloux faced the press this morning ... considering he is barely 18 I thought he fared well ... its importantly, I felt he was not just repeating/reading scripted responses provided to him ... although he obviously would have been coached about what needed to be said ... on another note, I think he must speak some French as the statement at the beginning his delivery didn't feel like something that was just written out phonetically https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1418942253012246532?s=20
  13. I totally agree ... MB knew the backlash that was going to erupt and wanted to take responsibility and be the "face" of the selection ... he also met the media mere minutes after the selection to face the questions that everyone obviously would have ... for both of those at least I give him credit ... concerns about the apparent hypocrisy of the choice aside.
  14. Since he is not a "jump straight to the NHJL" prospect, not signing an ELC would mean little ... other than forgoing whatever signing bonus is involved ... he would have to not sign by June 1, 2023 and re-enter the draft for it to be true penance.
  15. On this cherry note ... sleep well all
  16. Bowman brings 8 women with him ... Blackhawks organization is in the midst of a sexual abuse investigation ... not much to be proud of in that organization at the moment
  17. So they draft the convicted "pornographer" ... who asked not to be drafted? NHL prospect Logan Mailloux withdraws from 2021 draft after criminal conviction in Sweden (msn.com)
  18. Looking at the Elite Prospects summery of various rankings ... none had Räty lower than 28 ... some as high as 12 ... seems like a decent risk ...
  19. From a quick search ... 1989 ... selected Patrice Brisebois
  20. Timmins can breath ... no Francophone available to be criticized for not taking
  21. TVA comments on Xavier Bourgault ... huge skill ... great shot ... great scorer ... only criticism that he didn't deliver in the playoffs ... the perfect Oiler? Mostly kidding ... couldn't resist
  22. And Xavier is gone ... Timmins breathing easier?
