>>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.

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

>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.

>cole cassels was one of their PCS golden boys
>he's already a bust

>>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.

I can see the rationale for it, as we have at least four top 9 centres in Galchenyuk, Plekanec, Eller, Desharnais, if not Danault and perhaps McCarron in a year.
Desharnais or Eller had to go just looking at salary and age and we know that McDavey getting traded before Lars will cause riots.
Eller also is especially shitty on the wing.
It's just a lot of assets to give up for Shaw when you need top 6 help. Of course this free agency is deep, so I guess we have to give the benefit of the doubt for now.

No he won't
>>68896923
If skating is browns problem than I'm more optimistic, skating is easier to pick up in training.

If you're referring to Mete I'd hold off as he was playing behind Juolevi in London. Very young too.
>>68897155
Yeah, I really want my nigga Okposo but free agents just don't want to play in Canada. If MB can't get anything done this summer to acquire what we need I view it as a abject failure. I'm already furious we didn't can MT last season.

Compare who each are playing with in the QMJHL. Dubois' of course is a 10x more complete prospect but Abramov has been lightning in a bottle offensively.
>>68897414
His skating is good, especially for his size.
The bright side for Brown is that he finished the season on a 1.7ppg tear with over .5 goal per game.
To be honest I thought he'd go top 10, around Arizona just because some teams tend to love those players that have a lot of room to grow.
>HARDY HÄMAN AKTELL

>>68897698
I could see Eriksson or Ladd, especially if we are leaning for left side depth with Shaw now in the mix on the right because Therrien is too autistic to play wingers on their off-wing.
Ladd would conjure the Chiraq connection again but his skating isn't as good so who knows.

>>68898190
True. Plus getting a cheap goalie is perfect. The Kings play Quick 70 games a season anyway
>>68898123
I'd be somewhat okay with Ladd 2bh, the problem is his age and the fact he'll probably demand a ludicrous contract that would totally fuck us when all the great contracts expire in a few years. We're going to have to pay the core and we will end up in cap hell. I hate that being a hasb fan makes you an eternal pessimist.

So, a core of Connor McDavid, Taylor Hall, Leon Draisaitl and Jesse Puljujärvi. That should be a pretty good starting point. I might just have to start bandwagoning them.
RNH, Eberle and Yak should fetch a quality Dman.

This draft has actually been good for the jackets so far PULJU was a fucking cuck Dubois maybe from the meme league but he's got pure talent we picked up a Manlet fast right winger who survived a meteor and a 6'4" defenseman I'm excited for this season

Jarmo is clearly over compensating when it comes to not having bias towards Finns.
This move probably costed him his career.
Dubois is not a bad player but he is a future 2nd line C at best. Not exactly what you want for a 3rd overall pick.
>>68901012

That's not what the entire scouting team said. It was like 9-2 in favor of Murray but mctavish vetoed it and went with yakupov.
This was way worse though. I like Dubois I think he'll be a solid nhl player but the jackets just handed the oilers potentially the best or 2nd best player of this draft.

You never see a player that size skate like he does.
When he fills out and developes his offensive game there is a very real change he ends up being the best player of this draft.
He is the most complete player of the draft and at the same time one of the rawest when it comes to untapped potential.
