Agreed. My pessimism has turned to optimism after doing a bit of homework and seeing that video.

Gabe Landeskog-Paul Stastny-Alex Tanguay
Jamie McGinn-Nathan MacKinnon-Steve Downie

Damn, that looks good. Good thing they still suck on D!

[Bertuzzied]

EE is no longer the man?? mind bottling! hehe

[JurassicTunga12]

Marco Dano to CBJ

[Ashasx]

And, unfortunately, Fucale is still on the board.

[dammage79]

Whoa. Dano so early?

[vanisleflamesfan]

My want list: Robert Hagg, Jacob De La Rose, Valentin Zykov

[JiriHrdina]

Off the board!

[OILFAN #81]

Whoa, off the boards a lot now.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Hagg or McCoshen looks really good right now. I bet we take one of these two.

It most definitely can be argued

And you have to include the fact that they gave up Schneider - for poor value by most accounts

Mikael Backlund comparable?

[Dx54]

I want to puke thinking how weak we are. Butlersoft team to the max.

Hello Dano's GF.

[dissentowner]

Damn, I wanted this guy as a Flame, predicted it in our Draft contest.

Since every NHL team has professional management and scouts, are any fans warranted in expressing any skepticism about any draft picks? If not, what are we all supposed to be doing here - giving each other virtual high-fives at every pick?

Player Comparable, Mikael Backlund

All of these teams going off the board makes me feel better about taking Poirier .
