Lightning draft Brett Harden.

You're my favorite slightly incorrect news breaker.

 

[Kin]

Sort of.

;D

 

[TBLeafer]

Boston loading up on Yanks this year.

 

[Britishbulldog]

Back to the Knights in Max Jones?

That's who I was thinking. I wonder if he's not a fit in Anaheim though.

well that was spooky!

Oh Well.  24th to Anaheim as suspected by you

 

[bustaheims]

DeBrincat at 31 tomorrow?

Small but highly skilled. Has steal potential.

 

[Tigger]

Ahem, likely a good selection tomorrow.

 

[sneakyray]

I still think they go D

and maybe a goalie with the later 2nd?

 

[ZBBM]

DeBrincat at 31 tomorrow?

Small but highly skilled. Has steal potential.

OK you draftdogs.  How about 4 more possibilities for tomorrow's kickoff?

 

[groundskeeper willie]

I have only seen half a dozen of the picks 'prospect analysis' but every single one had compete level as a player skill

 

[Kin]

So, yeah, I think as disappointed as some of us might be that they didn't make a move tonight...there's a really a part of me that thinks that despite the Andersen deal this is a really conservative bunch. I think the reason we think they're going to go slow and take a measured approach is because I don't think they've done anything to counter that.

 

[Al14]

Sam Steel, private eye! 

 

[Frank E]

There was a whole lot of size drafted in that first round.

 

[Tigger]

Sam Steel, private eye! 

Broke this fighting that guy, broke that fighting this guy!

 

[TBLeafer]

Okay, so a D and G second round I'm hoping with the 31st and Washington pick.

 

[sneakyray]

after thinking about it for awhile I now would like them to just get bpa...star potentia.

that might mean small and skilled.  like debrincat or girard.

 

[L K]

I was working.  Did we draft anyone good?

 

[disco]

I was working.  Did we draft anyone good?

... took a guy... Mauston Atthews... something. Could be a hidden gem.

Seems like a real cool cucumber. I think with the commitment now from management to protect their young players, he's gonna be just fine 

ROUND TWO!!

I swear I wrote Howden, but my not so smartphone stylus fooled me.  Obviously, it doesn't like me as much as you do.
