  1. I disagree. I'd say the majority of fans are NOT sold on Hellebuyck. Just too many weak goals and breakdowns. There is very little confidence in him as our future starter. Was at the game tonight and opinion seems pretty consistent... Hellebuyck not the guy.
  2. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen or Keith Pettruzelli but neither one has really stepped up and claimed the number one spot. I'd be surprised if either one goes in the top half of the first round.
  3. He probably wouldn't be here in 2017-18 but 2018-19 wouldn't be surprising. Good size and more importantly a good skater, no reason to hold him out of the NHL for long.
  4. I'll be happy if we get a top 6 pick. I want Juuso Valimaki and 6th should be good enough. Nolan Patrick or Nico Hischier would be nice, yet are unlikely and I want a top defenceman. Valimaki has decent size and great offensive ability.
  5. It's just cocaine, whatever
  6. The producers wanted it gone more than anyone
  7. You don't know that, why not give it a try?
  8. I actually tend to agree..... lots of rookie OL get eaten up. Like you said, Ruby is young and has a year of experience.... almost certainly a better player right now than anyone we could get at #6. But would MTL move him for #6? That I'm not sure about.
  9. My short list: Korey Banks, Arland Bruce, Anthony Calvillo, Jason Clermont, Scott Flory, Terry Greer, Brent Johnson, Mike O'Shea, Byron Parker, Ernie Pitts, Geroy Simon, Barrin Simpson, Orlondo Steinauer, Anwar Stewart, **** Thornton
  10. Apparently still filming
  11. Is Foucault that good? Can't say I really paid much attention to him while with the Panthers. He started, but it was as an injury replacement and then he got released so I'm not sure that means much.
  12. Do we want a Canadian tackle? I'm generally against paying a bunch more money to our tackle just to have a Canadian who may or may not be as good as Hardrick. IMO priority one is keeping Nichols upright not filling the ratio on the OL... at this point we have enough good Canadian starters elsewhere.
  13. Imagine if it actually works and the Riders are good this year with Young as their QB. I don't think I could take it.
  14. I don't know if it is sane to go through QBs faster than Mike Kelly
  15. Why? It's always been in the expansion draft rules to allow trades for promises to not select certain players... this isn't so different. It's just another way for assets to go towards Vegas. I think anything that allows Vegas more flexibility in terms to building their team will be looked upon favorably by the league.
  16. I think these are just all the QBs since Jones arrived. The only ones under contract are Glenn, Young, Bridge, Kinne, and Bennett. I know Gale, Moniz and Waters are no longer with the Riders. I don't recognize a few of the names, maybe they are just mini-camp arms with a chance to get signed.
  17. Why Columbus?
  18. He's hired the right guys to turn the record around, now let's see if he can get attendance/season tickets back to the level they were at a few years ago. Pretty tough to judge the President of the organization beyond the record on the field and the numbers on the balance sheet. But both of those factors have been improving and so has the game-day experience. And he hasn't done anything horribly embarrassing so that's a plus.
  19. Called it way back on page 34! Boom! Bow down, peasants!
  20. I mostly agree but I wouldn't put Nogier and Kichton in the same group. Nogier still has some potential to be a third pairing guy if he develops like Chiarot did. Kichton will probably never play in the NHL.
  21. I'd argue Stafford didn't play "really bad" when he put up 20+ goals.
  22. Luke Green as well.
