Love these lines. When Monahan is back I swap Bolig with Shore and we're done.

I think bionic Bouma will need all of another week in a hand cast.

I friggen hope so.
I just envision Bouma cranking up a couple notches for the playoffs, despite the outstanding year he's alrady had.

Same... or alternatively put Jooris on the Bennett-Backlund line and Colborne (in lieu of Bollig)with Granlund/Shore. I'd like Colborne and Backlund on different lines as I don't think they play well with each other.

I guarantee someone has attempted to use this logic.

They are addicted to the rebuild. There is probably some warped logic about how we made the playoffs too fast and needed to bottom out harder with moar picks~!

I've heard this logic before for sure. The thought process is they would rather tank for x number of years to make sure they build a perennial contender instead of just squeaking into the playoffs like we did.

Is 10 the magic number of tanking years?

We should heed their advice, they've already managed to build a perennial contender up there. Year after year there's few teams who are as widely regarded as them when it comes to challenging for the first overall pick

Apparently Hartley didn't check with the handful of blowhards on here who said there's a 0% (or less than zero) chance that Bennett slots in Game 1.

Draft Pick
|
Raymond had not been great, needs to be better. Colbourne has not played well with anyone. He has played hard, but has not made anyone better, and according to analytic guys both Raymond and Backland have played better away from from him. It is great that he fights against the boards and seems more confident with the puck, but none of this has translated to scoring chances for his line.

That said, I absolutely support the idea of Bennett being tried on left wing, with Backlund/Colborne.
Can't wait for Wednesday

it was a nice pass and that was arguably his best game in a long while but I don't think he should get a free pass because of it
