Watching Senyshyn I can't see how he ever makes the NHL on a regular basis. Zboril might have a chance. Still one of the most idiotic draft decisions made ever in that year. DeBrusk beeing that "good" is nice, but doesn't make up for those gaffes.

yeah basically everyone said it was stupid at the time and then it turned out to be stupid = RESULTS ORIENTED

before the draft started

RESULTS ORIENTED

butnahhhhh

almost



good run of posts

butnahhhhh

indeed

RESULTS ORIENTED (well, save for Zboril)

indeed, that would have been most upsetting

tee hee

indeed

now this, is actually results oriented

RESULTS ORIENTED POSTING ON THIS FORUM

golf clap

^ here is where the LOiLers basically traded BARZAL for Griffing ****ing Reinhart LOLOLOLOL

almost got there

indeed

is that bad?

granted

kind of crazy that they're still loosely contenders, but obv they'd be in a much better position today had they just drafted Barzal & Connor with 2 of those picks instead of FPSing

loooooooooool, excellent reference

lolol

what might have been had they not finally luckboxed

Philly had a good day too huh

granted

RESULTS ORIENTED

hey who signed Lucic btw?

i forgot they had three 2nd rounders (i remembered they got Carlo in there), but this is kind of the thing about those picks too, why reach for guys when you have three 1sts & three 2nds? just don't be stupid

i know i know "our guys had them rated there blah blah blah" but at what point do you stop and wonder that maybe the consensus from literally every other source with half a brain might be on to something?????

iirc Zboril was a bit of a reach, mid-1st was about the top of his range, most had him late-1st/early-2nd
Senyshyn was a total gamble there, most had him as a late-1st/2nd at best
Debrusk was a mini-reach, again, about the top of his range, but it's worked out so far


but i mean, it's possible they could have taken Barzal & Connor and still gotten Zboril and/or Senyshyn in the 2nd round, and if not, oh well

before the draft i had 6.BARZAL, a decent looking board if i do say so myself (save for LolCrouse), and the Bumz winding up with ~Konecny/Connor/Chabot if they stand pat


RESULTS ORIENTED FTMFL

I sure posted a lot about hockey those days. That draft night must've had like 10x the post of this year's

Though he ****ed that draft up badly obv, he's done some ok moves I think (?) and given the level of GMing around the league, Sweeney might not even be below average.

They're almost as stupid as me (I was billed 100 bucks by the NHL yesterday bc I sent my cancellation to the wrong email adress)

yeah, that draft alone was like ~25% of this thread?

always impossible to know who's responsible for what inside of a front office, but his overall record is probably above average, in a league that has like 5 good GMs & 10-15 bad ones

So I guess Ottawa now has the answer to the question "what will the Gods do when you trade Karlsson for scraps?"

Haha Lucic. I'm still amazed the Kings got saved from themselves. Thanks Chia!

I guess it's pretty low on the list of LOLBergevins lately but he really just gave 4 years to Paul Byron?

I dont remember making any of those posts, did you hack me

yeah 13.6/4 for a waiver wire guy made good is pure Benning

never go FULL BENNING

lol, yeah that's about how i feel whenever i look at any post of mine older than 6-12 months

man i was such a stupid ******* wtf

(especially the old ones tho, like legit have zero recollection of posting some of these things)

I was legit LMAO at those posts because I 1. cant believe I was posting about that draft 2. dont remember even watching that draft

I was like no way he can find a post of mine to quote here... wait what

You two clearly don't watch the habs play, not that I blame you really.
Byron is one of the very few players with heart on that team. He's also the only one who scored at least 20 goals the last 2 years, yes they are that bad.

The contract is fine, both in length and $.

In no way comparable to Roussel/Beagle

For under 4m, you get a back2back 20 goal scorer, defensive aware winger that excels on the pk and has been a fan favorite ever since he's arrived in Mtl.

Also easily movable asset if need be.

This would never make a top 10 worst move list by Bergevin.

If Byron regresses, obv this signing becomes dog **** (like suddenly becomes a 8~9 goals/year guy that is only good on the pk).

Warning: may cause feelings

In those 20 goal seasons his shooting % were 23 and 17%. Yes I’m sure he’ll continue shooting significantly better than Ovechkin or Stamkos.

well there's this...

yeah sure whatever, Byron will keep shooting 20% through his age 30-34 years, nice signing


in other news, the most predictable thing oat has happened:

hockey is so amazing
new GM & coach come in to a team, everyone gets a fresh start right? lol no
some stuff apparently happened in the past, we heard, idk
can't let that **** go man


Lou also bolstered his defense by signing Luca Pizza


he's yet another guy in that "if you were actively trying to destroy a team, would you be doing anything differently?" zone

GREASE UP THEM POLES

I am in tears. Thanks Gritty for making my day LOL

lol gritty what is that thing supposed to be

so Shea Theodore just got 36.4/7 as an RFA

kinda makes sense, but didn't really see it happening for whatever reason
