I guess it depends on how far Gally's value has dropped after all of his injuries. In the end, it's not too bad to be able to pick Murray/Forsberg instead, but I liked how he fit a need of ours and was not only skilled, but known for his good work ethic.
I doubt it will, his rankings seems to be off and Galchenyuk, Grigorenko and Dumba can all rise and fall.
habs will pick him
Edmonton should trade paarjarvi after they draft yakupov
I'm kind of hoping they go for Galchenyuk. I would love Grigs too, but the whispers about his shoddy work ethic seem to be growing louder.
Eventually their scoring ability will far outpace defensive liability
This year or next year.... Oilers are going to turn into the most powerful team in the NHL. There hasn't been a team as potentially scary as them since the Gretzky years
Yup. The order may change, but your Top 4 is Yakupov, Galch, Grigs and Murray. Leafs are probably looking at Forsberg.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this happens, pretty likely.
I take solace in the fact Montreal will finish in a higher position then Edmonton last year. Enjoy missing the playoffs again!
I'm a sad panda man
Fuck fuck fuck
If NYI takes forsberg... Leafs are gonna have to trade the fuck out of their D corps
Forsberg or Murray would not be bad at all.
The only crummy thing is that next year's draft is even better and if the Habs have the season I expect them to next year, they won't be picking before at least #15.
But if it's Murray... Leafs have so much Defensemen right now...
Phaneuf
Schenn
Gardiner
Liles
Franson
Gunnarsson
Komisarek
Blacker
Holzer
And then #1 draft pick
And Burke will be all over Schultz so if we get him
So many trades are going to occur

At the bar for trivia, but I just saw the results.....
Just wanted to say, "hahahahahahahaha"
That team really is gonna be amazing in a few years. They should make a play for Suter.

Yeah, if Murray drops, I'd have zero problem taking him. Absolutely none. Despite our need for a 1C, we just need talent. It's not as if this D was anything special.
I'm not exactly sold on Forsberg, but I'll trust the scouts that have ranked him so highly. And at least we didn't drop, we should be thankful for that.

Nope. But the TSN guy that had CBJ taking Murray and the Islanders taking Forsberg, allowing Galchenyuk to fall to the Leafs.... why would he give Leafs fans hope like that? So cruel. Like people have said, it's more likely that the first four picks are all forwards and Toronto is left picking a dman.Einherjar said:

I have to begrudgingly agree. I didn't watch the team at all, except when they played us here in Winnipeg
(And beat us *Shakes fist in Edmonton's general direction*)
But you need to be able to keep the puck out of the net, and there isn't enough Vodka left in Khabibulin's glove-hand to help their back end.
By the time their players get good, will they be able to hold on to them? Always been a problem for small-market teams, at least in the past, I assume it's still the same today?
I think I'm going to be drunk when the draft goes down
I just don't know how I'm going to handle it
On the other hand, if Patrick Roy does become the next coach, its nice to have a player-coach relationship already in existence like he and Grigs have.
I'm going to agonize over this for the next 73 days, lol. COME TO ME, JUNE 22!
Either way, I'm officially on the Galchenyuk-or-Grigorenko-whoever-is-the-best-fit train.

If the Oilers could pull off something to get a top pairing dman for the #1 pick, they'd be in a much better position to start attracting players outside of shitstains like Hordichuk and Eager (and vets like Smyth with some rare affection for the city). Dubnyk/Khabibulin is a decent tandem, too.
Three consecutive #1 picks. Incredible.

1 more game and Yakupov would have been ours
I'm not going to lie and say I'm not upset over missing out on Ovechkin 2.0, but at the end of the day, our biggest organizational need is (and has been for 15 years) depth down the middle. We finally now have the chance to land that #1 centre we've been lacking since like the Pierre Turgeon era.
If Eller keeps developing, 5 years down the road we could be looking at:
- C1: Galch or Grigs
- C2: Eller
- C3: DD
- C4: White
Sat there and looked like he pooped himself like he usually does.

This shit's fucking hilarious.
Hope Dumba wears a Ducks uniform next season though, not Toronto. They need forwards, not D.

This is the Top 5 I want. Columbus taking Grigs before us leaves us with no hard decision to make and removes the work ethic cloud from over our heads. Galchenyuk's worth ethic has been praised.
It actually looked like he was trying to poop himself, but couldn't.

OP updated for relevancy.
Bish, any chance we can get the thread title updated from the OP in the title? Or if anyone has any better lines.
