i know people hate cheering for losses, but man I was pissed when we were winning those games in the end, and now when the draft depth may be deeper than just the top 2 or 3 (which has beenn the case for the past couple of seasons), it's even more sad.
sorry for the rant, no need to bash the above sentiment, i don't care to debate this opinion  .
taking off ur flames goggles for a second, and forgetting holes in our prospect pool, if u were an expansion franchise, which player would u select 1st to start ur franchise around? i think i would pick mackinnon based on his skill level + the position he plays being the hardest to fill in the NHL.
I think the avs will end up taking mackinnon and trading stastny for d help. |
If they draft MacKinnon I could see them dealing both ROR and Stastny for D help + a Brandon Sutter type 3rd line center.
