Ben Street is the leading scorer in Bing... Brett Seney is 2nd. If not for Nico and Jack we’d be absolutely screwed. Shero needs to start hitting on some picks. Other than Bratt it’s been grim.

T0asterleav1ns Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) It's a craig button list which is worth about as much as the finest outhouse wallpaper you can buy. *for some perspective im pretty sure he had freaking Kravtsov as the best prospect last year lol.

There's not much excitement in there. I'd love for a few of those 2019 ones to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I am not going to go nuts over Button's list. Guy has been wrong plenty of times before. Like Toaster said in his post, he had Kravtsov very high, if not #1 on his list last season. Look where he is now. However, the Devils should still be worried about their drafting. As others have pointed out, other than Nico and Hughes being gifts as #1OA, there really hasn't been a whole lot to be excited about. Ty Smith is easily our best prospect in the system and I do have some good hopes for him, but after that it drops off. That includes Bahl who is someone I am not nearly as excited about as many others are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Unreal, really, how poorly we've managed to draft. It's just fvcking tragic at this point. Edited January 11, 2020 by Devilsfan118 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzey Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I say give Shero one more season after this and if we’re still at the bottom let Marty take over. He’s already being groomed as the next GM imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I’m sure Marty learned enough in STL that he could step right in and do the job. Did Sakic or Yzerman have much experience before becoming GM’s? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He worked in the Avs FO for a bit, and then was vp of hockey operations and defacto GM along with Roy the year before he officially became GM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Tyce Thompson is killing it for Providence. In 22GP he has 17G and 33PTS. So that's exciting.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll him out there he says hi, shakes hands and walks away. I do find it funny being his ego is bigger than the building and his personality the size of a gnat. For me it's a hard pass on being the future GM. Let go of the past already, move on and don't look back. Saying he can't be worse than Ray is weak, you have to aim way higher than that. One of the best goalies of all time, hopefully that's the extent of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titans04 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) I'm beyond happy for the Avs. He's been there ~6 years they missed the playoffs 3 times, lost in the first round twice and lost in the second round once. That said I would take him over MB. To me Marty has always been about Marty, more concerned about himself than the team. I don't care for that kind of personality as a GM.
