thats two goals on him tonight I don't know what Savard, a veteran I'm told, was thinking when he has the puck with 9 seconds left in the game and no one on him in his own zone. All he has to do is clear the zone and Wings do not have enough time to reset. Yet Mindless Dave lobs it down the ice for an icing. OMG. We should not be letting Lane and Logan watch this stuff  |

Lastly, Josh is terrible. He has become a 4th liner at $5.5. Sure we finally rid ourselves of Alzner, but MB jus tkeeps ion giving with Josh  |

So with the loser point we drop to 6th pending the Coyotes game. Sooo stupid I'm extra stressed because the last draft ranking I saw had the first 5 picks all forwards and the 2 Russian dmen that we don't need dropping to 6 and 7. Next we'll lose the draft lottery and drop to 9 We still might get #5. Big game tomorrow between Yotes and Oil. Yotes only need a point and could put on a show for their last game. It's a somewhat meaningless game for Oil as only issue is whether they finish higher than Avs which really won't be a factor until the 3rd round. If I'm Oil I'm resting my guys - please, pretty please. |

I still can't get over how our brilliant management can't control outcomes. We shouldn't be depending on others to determine our future.

So they should have sat the 1st line and told juraj forget about 20 goals and a bonus... tell suze too bad about your best season ever... tell the same thing to matheson.... I'd say that would be poor management... what you saw last night was a team that lost 2 very close games to a team fighting for their playoff lives... The team held their heads up high at the end of the game knowing they've grown leaps and bounds this year and its only going to get better... BTW St. Louis's contract option was exercised... he's here for a few more years |

The BPA is going to be another defenseman or we draft by need and get another Kotkaneimi. Worthless points in a worthless games is not an achievement when everybody knows the consequences. |

We don't know how the draft will pan out... looks like at least 2 teams in the top 5 want a D man, so that leaves celebrini, demidov, catton, lindstrom but Greentree is an intriguing prospect, reminds me a bit of Slaf and there is always Iginla... |

From what I've read, there is a lot of forward talent at the top end of the draft. Celebrini, of course, Demidov, Lindstrom, Catton and Iginla. Just below them are Bransen-Nygaard, Greentree and some other names I can't recall off the top of my head. The latter group isn't in the Will Smith, Leo Carlson level. Given how many Dmen there are available, we might even get a better than average prospect with Winnipeg's pick, if it's kept.

Would you rather have Seider or Turcotte? Doesn't matter what the Habs need as far as I'm concerned. Pick whoever you think will be the best player in the long term regardless of position.

It is just getting overshadowed by a highly above-average group of potential top end defenders. |

I would try to package that Winnipeg Pick, a 2025 3rd rounder, and one of young defenceman (Harris, Struble, Kovacevic) to try and get into the top 10 and draft two forwards. Demidov and Ignila?

That wouldn't be nearly enough, unless you add a lot more (Xhekaj, Calgary's pick next year etc.). As you get closer to the top, the cost of moving up increases exponentially. That package might get you from 25 to 16 or 17 say, but moving up one spot in the top 5 gets very costly. moving to the top 10 would still cost quite a bit. I agree with your sentiment, though. It would be awesome to have another pick in the top 10 or even top 13. |

So you only need to move up 10 spots or so. |
