Was more tongue in cheek than an actual draft theory

Lol.

So much for people worried about them just drafting for size...

• Tkachuk: 6'1" 202 lbs
• Parsons: 6'1" 185 lbs
• Dube: 5'10" 183 lbs
• Fox: 5'10" 181 lbs

There are holes at RW in our prospect pool, never mind the big league roster.
Treliving even said at the end of the season he wanted to address that.

Right wing still will need to be addressed.

However, you can do that in multiple ways. For example, sign a UFA or two.

Next year, if there is a RW they view as being good enough is on board, they'll draft one. Otherwise, there is always trades available. It's not like there is a complete shortage of RW around the league. Other teams will lack D and C, which the Flames have plenty of.

Wasn't going to reply to the 1st comment, but the 2nd kinda proves the first correct.

Fan 960 coverage is terrible today, they choose to do 2 interviews during the Flames last 3 picks. I would rather listen to analysis about BPA on the board etc..interviews can be done after

Sure thing boss.

ONLY top 6 level scoring RW in the system is Poirier.

Your argument of Shinkaruk and Magiapane being both wingers means nothing. They're prodominantly LW.

If you think the like of Carroll and Smith and Harrison are projecting anything higher than bottom 6 RW's I'd like to hear that defense.

So Yes, there's some decent bottom 6 potential RW talent, but we really are only rolling with Poirier as a legit top 6 option.

Luke Green was a perennial all star and first ballot Hall of Famer in my Eastside Hockey Manager league. Great pick by the Jets.

[DropIt]

Why talk about Stamkos?

[TheScorpion]

There goes Day to NYR.

[sureLoss]

Rangers take sean Day

I know, Green always turns out amazing in that game. So does Benson, but the Oilers grabbed him, so there's no chance of that happening.

It's a tough spot. This year the best players available to us were not RWers. It happens. That doesn't mean that they won't try to pick up more RW like they did Pribyl.

And you are bitching in the late 2nd round and early 3rd round where you are extremely unlikely to get a top 6 level player?

Makes a ton of sense. I guess some people just need to complain about something.

What's the story with Day?

Did I hear Calgary's name in the background, or am I hearing things?


... Oh, Philly drafted a Hitman.
