2016 NHL Draft, Free Agency, and Offseason Thread

but but but he has stanley cup playoff experience

Eller and MT didnt mesh. DD is still there and I rather have Eller than DD.

Both our 2nd round picks for Andrew fukking Shaw? Another bottom six player?

Good Lord, Bergevin's determined to give us four 4th lines.

How valuable are 2nd rounders in the NHL draft?

Trade norris trophy winning defensemen for draft picks with French names brehs..

They hold pretty good value. Some good players get picked in the 2nd round, even stars sometimes. Patrice Bergeron, PK Subban, and Shea Weber were all 2nd rounders.

Hmm. Prob a good trade for the Hawks then.

I don't get it though, Shaw was a free agent. Why didn't yall just give him an offer sheet if you wanted him

Is it different in the NHL ? Cause I don't think the Hawks would have matched and it's looking like they couldn't sign him anyways financially

In the NHL offer sheets are borderline insulting to GM's

Oilers Lowe basically got blackballed when he put one down on Vanek a few years back

Holy crap oilers grabbed a good player in Jesse Puljujarvi he looked like studd in the world championship

LOL@ canucks picking Juolevi or tkakchuk

 

[El Guapo]

Who the hell can can stand watching this...it's been 2 hours and they've done 16 picks...

NHL draft is an extension of everything wrong with the league...why are there fukkn kids on stage and 87 people to shake hands with each player...

Just hve the commissioner make the damn picks and move to the next team..this is awful.

Even there draft is corny...

And every team has to thank the host city, then congratulate the Champs, then shout out their fans watching in their draft parties and then make their pick. Ridiculous.

Bunch of people on twitter were already calling McDavid-Puljujärvi combination the new Gretzky-Kurri

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

There's plenty of candidates out there, but Jim Benning is definitely making a run at being the most inept GM in professional sports

I feel for Canucks fans

 

[MikelArteta]
