Goalie

Elliott will be a good mentor for Helle and is very good in a tandem role. If true... Our goaltending will improve. I also think with a capable vet like Elliott Helle will be better also as he really was thrown to the wolves last year with very little to no help from Hutch and Pav for that matter.

So just a fan. Yup.

Foote isnt making this team ever. Hes a member of Tampa Bay.

Well when a 1000 square foot house costs you well over 1 million dollars, its no wonder why ppl dont show up to football games. They are all house poor.

He had pretty decent numbers in Edmonton minus 1 season. Condidering the crap team he played behind. He played more than 30 games for the oilers 4 seasons... His save percentage in those 4 seasons were 916. 914. 921. And his last year there... 894. Those are good numbers actually.

I highly doubt we would have taken Foote so im not sure why his name is thrown around. Every mock i saw had Valimaki going to the Jets. Foote? Has anyone watched him play cuz if you did... Youd realize hes an RHD.

Goalies are voodoo. Some of the best ones were late round picks. Not much is known about holm tho. You should find hellebuycks write up when he was drafted... Similar to the Dallas pick but better numbers.

You know what happens when you draft based on needs? Ask Carolina who took Hayden Fleury (probably a bottom pair d man) who is playing in the AHL over guys like Nylander and Ehlers.

There comes a point where you just need to let it go... I think that point was several pages ago. Enstrom is a Jet... Future superstar foote valimaki brannstrom vakainenen are not. Man.. Its gonna suck when these guys are ripping up the league and winning conn smythe trophies. I guess tho... There are 2 potential stud d men in this class... One went pick 3.. One went pick 4... The rest including samberg and kovacevic are all the same really... Some got more hype than others tho. Reality... At 13... We probably would have taken BPA who was probably Suzuki actually... Since who drafts for need in the first round when none of these guys outside of maybe hischier and maybe patrick will actually play in the league in the next 2 or 3 years. Stop pretending we missed some stud D man or we would have even taken one at 13 when Jets tend to draft BPA and BPA was a center.

There are plenty of things to criticize chevy about. Losing thorburn and moving down 11 spots isnt one of them. As for enstrom he sucks so bad that real insiders like dreger bobby mac and friedman were all convinced vegas would take him.

Hamonic is a RHD and as if Chicago would trade Hjalmarsson in division. You me whoever else have no idea who they would have taken at 13 and its not like that guy taken at 13 would Step in immediately either. Hes 2 or 3 years away regardless.

Yup. Chiarot isnt nearly as good.

Trouba Morrissey Buff Chiarot Myers Enstrom Thats a damn good top 6 D.

So tell me... Youd prefer morrissey chiarot and stuart on our left side instead? Ive yet to see you actually logically validate this. U say things like when he doesnt play we win more... U know when crosby doesnt play... The penguins win lots also? You have some agenda with him and its showed for years now. He is better than chiarot and stuart and we have nobody ready to take his spot

We have rhd. If he wasnt from manitoba.. You wouldnt want him. We never were in the conversation on this one. RHD is not a problem. I like Hamonic but hes pretty over rated by a few of you because hes from here.

Chiarot is fine with buff. Forget the idea of 1st 2nd 3rd pairs. Trouba Morrissey Myers Enstrom Buff Chiarot Thats probably what we will see and that should be solid. Hopefully maurice and huddy implement a defensive system that plays to our strengths. That right there makes a bigger difference than some scrub "3rd pair" LHD.

Mason probably is but he doesnt like the tandem idea. Theres a few good UFA options.

No. You have no idea who they would have taken at 13. It might have even been vesalainen.

He played in a weaker league than vesalainen.

Nah. Liljegren is over rated.

He could in reality play for the moose this season but yeah probably not. Great value at 24. They did the right thing and went BPA.

Lol. Interesting picks still available tomorrow in hague timmins brook and many more.

Top 15 talent there maybe top 10. Steal of the draft potentially 6 3 210. Power forward.

Maybe the other coaches need to do a better job of implementing a better system that works to our strengths aka speed and skill.

All those teams are canadian besides Tampa. He probably asked to be traded.
