@MSchloeman23904 @jprutherford @coreypronman If that were true, shouldn’t he be better at it then?

@mistersoftee24 @coreypronman @TheAthleticNHL Wright is a C, isn’t 5’11” and is a better skater. Apparently doesn’t matter Perreault is clearly much better at hockey..

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@coreypronman @TheAthleticNHL I can only assume this is purposeful trolling. Zach Benson at 124 (6th just in the Sabres org), Gabe Perreault not even on the list. The mental gymnastics Corey must make to not admit his draft year takes on these guys were wrong is insane.

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@jprutherford @coreypronman Jecho and Fitz over Stenberg, Lindstein, Ralph and Fischer?? I wouldn’t be surprised if Jecho doesn’t even make the T-birds. You guys need folks that focus on just 1-3 teams. Someone trying to cover all 32 to that level of depth just produces garbage.

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@jprutherford @coreypronman Perhaps Corey is a decent evaluator but it’s a near impossible task. The result is a bunch of nonsensical lists with very thin analysis. It reads as his thoughts from each player’s draft years with very little added info in the years since. Jecho at 8? Fitz at 11??

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@NHLFoley Parayko was a rookie at 22. Still a pretty big difference between 22 and 24 IMO. I see the potential in Nikishin too but I also see the need for a lot of caution with him too. Especially if he wants $8M+ after only 1 season playing a 3rd pairing role.

@Jabman025 @StLouisBlues @NHLPA To be fair, they said it was a drawing of him, not a drawing by him. Or maybe I’m just hoping his artistic skills are better than that?

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@M_Meyer3 Nah. I wasn’t super high on Dagenais either but have precisely zero regrets on them passing over Belchetz.

@SEllisHockey Gastrin dinged up or just getting the day off?

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@AyyLmayo1 @NHLRumourReport So again, who would they be mad at for that - the team or Robertson? Seems to me both sides drug it out longer than it needed to be

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@chriskerber 9 darter for sure. A 9 darter is closer to bowling 300 than 250.

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@RobertTiffin @MDeFranks So like a spring training double header. I like it.

And the Blues and Stars play their first 2 preseason games against each other this year so not sure why it can’t be implemented yet this season as long there’s building availability 🤷‍♂️

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@NHLRumourReport Package him where he’s the 3rd best asset for this 2nd line center? Then it’d make sense

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@NHLFoley Doug Armstrong

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@JFreshHockey What I’m seeing is if you can draft like the Blues, maybe take the picks - Thomas, Thompson, Oshie, Snuggerud (and Tarasenko was back half of the 1st rd in 2010 too since there were only 30 picks back then). But any other team? Keep Carlsson for sure.

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@ByronMBader @robbhope Ok. But he is 5’9”. That kinda matters…

[Mark Massa @MarkMassa22]

@stevewerier @19Simon19 I really want to like this but it’s incorrect. $4,775,666 would still be a 2nd rd pick. To get a 1st and 3rd it’d have to be one dollar more. It’s $667, not $666 🫤
