...and likewise, if Hunter busts and Poirier turns into a gem, it's a win-win.

3 skilled forwards, including a potential top center, I'm a happy flames fan.

Volunteered downtown yesterday for ten hours, drank the entire time, then drank after voluneteering, then had to go into work this morning to prepare for the holiday. So, mostly due to drinking, whcih is usually the culprit when I miss anything. I'm back on track and following now.

Only 23 posts so far, seems about right. Really wasn't that upsetting. Think of how it could have been the 6th + for Coburn/Read/11th ...

Absolutely true, and I hope thats the scenario, but in my opinion Poirier has a slightly higher bust potential.

Holy heck does Poirier have speed though! lmao

The fact that your second statement shows you know absolutely nothing about him calls into question your first about "higher bust potential".

This should just be an automated response for most of the over-reactive posts at draft time.

Well as long as you had valid reasons.

I thought Feaster did a decent job this draft. I would have liked him to take advantage of Hunter Shinkaruk at 22, but at least we got our center. Now we have several top 6 left wingers.

[t0rrent98]

Oilers have both Yakupov and now Yakimov..haha.

[UKflames]

Feaster was screwed whoever he took, there are some here that won't be happy with anything he does even if it fits their opinion of what he should do.

You can almost feel people hoping all of these picks fail just so that they can use them as stick to beat Feaster with.

Fire Feaster! Today doesn't really effect things (good or bad), but he's going to be fired nest offseason anyway, so why delay the inevitable?

He is not the person who should be in charge of this rebuild.

It's still a bad idea to hit on 17, even if you happen to get a 4.

This thread is being under-utilized.

Damn skippy it's a bad idea.

My Uncle Pervy hit on 17, and he got 20 to life.

Thanks for the info. What else is happening next offseason?

I think Jay Feaster forgot to get the PUCKS upgrade that was released last week.

I just don't understand why you guys bother typing these types of posts out. I just don't. Like what are you hoping for that compells you to go through the effort?
