>THEY TOOK OLLI JOULEVI?

>>68888602
What game?
>>68888739
There was an exhibition match between the United States and Canada, they had quite a few players from their national teams there. I saw the one in Adelaide.
How do you stop Canada from ruining first rounders?
>>68888774
we're just seeing the draft lottery come full circle finally.
Guys like crosby, ovechkin, kane, toews, etc can't really be ruined and turned their teams from basement dwellers to contenders basically overnight. Once you get a guy like toews or crosby who you can throw out in any situation and they'll outperform the best players in the world on the PK, PP, after a goal, overtime, etc, etc, that's when managing becomes kind of "easy" because you no longer have to worry about matchups and you just need to fill in around them
>>68888753
Oh yeah I know what you're talking about.
I went to the game in Melbourne, because I love wasting my money on it every year.
This year's was probably the best yet, however none of the players actually play for the proper national teams... They are just minor league players mainly.
Anyway to answer your question, the NHL is probably the best place to start, however it doesn't start again till October.
In the meantime, you should follow the local hockey league, the AIHL. Adelaide has the Adelaide Adrenaline, which is a bottom of the ladder team... But it's still great to watch nonetheless.

>>68889584
>the russian couturier
Yeah, that's the problem I have with the pick. The Flyers don't need another Couturier, they need a high scoring winger.
I trust Hextall knows what he's doing, so I won't call it a bad pick just yet.
>>68889615
what's schuckers
>>68889624
I guess that's fair, Hextall just preferred to go with a safer, more nhl ready pick

florida is using some kind of a meme system to determine prospect quality
Rob Vollman @robvollmanNHL 11h11 hours ago
Florida is using the Prospect Cohort Success metric as part of their draft strategy. I'm curious to see who they pick.
>>68889778
>Based holland
He should have rebuilt and traded away his old productive players years ago. He's not getting Stamkos. I guess he can overpay for radulov now. Probably will do just enough to squeak into the playoffs again and maybe win a game or two. Just like the past 4 years.
>>68889951
>it was invented by a canucks fansite
>cole cassels was one of their PCS golden boys
>he's already a bust
nice system
>>68888995
They could've just taken him 33rd if they wanted him that badly, or the later rounds. Pretty much a meme reach.
He apparently went undrafted last year because he grew 9 inches within 12 months and forgot how to skate, he's been the most rapid riser this year among euro prospects
>>68889951
PCS was developed by a couple of ex-bloggers from canucksarmy.com. They're probably behind the Gudbranson-McCann trade (Benning admitted in an interview that the Cats had already decided who two players they'd like to trade when they called him, kek) and the pair might get a few later round picks for their algorithms to fully choose, but the Borgstrom pick was all about eye test scouting. Also their Finnish scout who picked Barkov and Donskoi loved him.
