Classic Flames. Throw a one or two darts at C/their biggest need and figure that's enough.

insert Debbie Downer gif here

Now hes over 30.

This organization needs to throw as much mud at the wall at C to make sure something sticks.

Its also the deficiency in our line up that has easily held us back the most in the past couple playoffs.

Needs to be addressed.

Loading up at D hasn't done anything for us the past five years of "stacking" our blue line.

Just saying.

Shoutout to all the people of 2024 reading this thread.. Entertained?

[Geeoff]

Zion Nybeck seems like the Canes just drafted a Gaudreau.

Really?

Lindholm isn’t a replacement for Backlund if need be?

Adam Fox was a major component in acquiring him 2 years ago.

Understanding asset management isn’t that hard.

[Royle9]

Canes killing it as usual.

[GranteedEV]

Is Zlodyev still available?

[Royle9]

Toronto gets Villeneuve

[Roof-Daddy]

Villeneuve gone to the Leafs.

Yup. And Ovchinnikov. And Pashin.

And Oliver Suni too.

My dark horse pick for the Flames, PA Raiders center Ilya Usov.

[Roof-Daddy]

Still taking an hour to get through a round.

Do the scouts get paid hourly?

[sureLoss]

Good lord there are still 3 more rounds to go!

[agulati]

Chromiak still available. #35 as per NHLNetwork #75 on Bob's list.

[gilligans_off]

What a snooze-fest

[SuperMatt18]

Still some good pieces available.

Farrell who just went to Montreal is another guy with great USHL numbers similar to Gaudreau, lots of people close to USHL on twitter saying it's a steal.

[dammage79]

I'm guessing they'll take a 1 hour coffee break before round 5 starts too lol

CP is surprisingly good at draft reactions in hindsight. Mostly because some of the lists available are also quite good.

For an example, most people here hated the Mason MacDonald, Hunter Smith, and Keegan Kanzig picks.

And most people like liked the Fox, Mangiapane, and Wolf picks.

Someone should hire an angry mob of us to be the amateur scouting department.
Would probably be better than the Oilers.

Is Detroit so far gone they're making picks via rotary phone? They're the slowest of the bunch.

Well Yzerman is in quarantine. If they need to consult with him it takes time.
