I would tend to agree, although I think I got about 5 of their picks right tonight, so who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who's going to score for this team? It seems like almost all of their forwards are "bottom six" players according to the small blurbs I've read. I hope the Rags don't end up with Giordano. I know a few fans who are already thrilled with the prospect of acquiring him for Strome then adding Eichel. And why the fvck would SEA eat some of that salary?

Other than Eberle their forwards look terrible to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) So wait, literally nothing happened tonight? We lost power in the northern philly suburbs this afternoon when a nasty cell rolled through. Since the power showed no signs of coming back on any time soon, my family drove down to the shore so we would have power and internet. (I know, total 1st world problem.) I was bummed that I was going to miss what I thought was going to be a flurry of deals announced tonight. I guess not. There has to be more pieces to fall. You don't just draft THAT team without other deals in place. Edited July 22, 2021 by Lateralous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? I feel like they drafted a 90’s style expansion team even though the rules allowed them to do way better than that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 They probably know there's 3 generational talent coming in the next 2 draft so might as well keep their chances of landing them high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to suck to maybe add 1 of those 3 "generational" talents (are they generational if there are 3 in 2 years?) and still having to fill out another 22 players around them seems like a silly way to go.

There was definitely a happy medium in between, I think. Just now, Lateralous said: (are they generational if there are 3 in 2 years?) By definition, no. I hate that phrase.

Yeah i do think they made some pretty bad selections. They must have picked like... 5-6 type of guys that you can just sign in the offseason for cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 As long as we didn't give up an asset for them to take Bastian. I would seriously start questioning Fitz if we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
