I'll just drop this here because I thought it was pretty funny...

Could you imagine if we had drafted him too the same year as we got Johnny... two absolute home run picks.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Kucherov .... it wouldn’t even be fair.

One of my favourite highlights in the league to watch are Kucherov’s and when he did that move on Holtby in the ASGame I laughed cause it reminded me of a fooseball shot that I would try and play... I can’t believe he did it to the same goal in the third period of a close game like that.. that was sick!

That's really funny especially with Holtby's "are you kidding me" reaction. He's just trolling now.

Let's just not talk about how the Flames were considering drafting both him and Johnny...

I'd argue that him getting taken immediately after we called Wotherspoon's name was the trigger for Gaudreau, as Button had his "oh #### me" moment then and realized they should have been going more for BPA and less by organizational depth. Having Kucherov and Johnny as "wild cards" and not actually on their list gives me that impression very strongly.

It was then that he immediately decided to go for Johnny with their next pick, but Sutter had traded away their 3rd and so they had to sweat it out til the 4th round to call Johnny's name.

He's going to be in Holtby's head now. He needs to score on his next breakaway against him with a legit deke and then the subsequent one, do another no shot. Or maybe go for a third straight no shot....

Scouts don't get mentioned a lot in those hypothetical "who would you want to spend a few hours over beers chatting with" question, but Tod Button would be a great choice to hear about all of the Flames moves that never happened.

Wish we had been willing to trade a defenseman for Henrique.

Pretty impressive play by Getzlaf but Bishop needs to commit.

More of a lowlight than a highlight...
