@EverydaySens Too much money for a guy who hasn’t proven himself… Pinto is a better player

My feature from Kelowna on the Sens goalie prospect, who is “like an artist.”

@unsensrd What the heck would you offer St Louis for Thomas??? They’d want a kings ransom

@TheMugNHL @sabreappraisal Lmao show us your past rankings then

@NabeelRehman22 @HadiK_Scouting It’s cool to hate on Pronman, it’s the trend people love to do ever since his Lane Hutson takes

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@Scouching It’s Chase Reid vs Mathis Preston, just read his explanation, it’s not that hard. One is a 6’2 RD projected to play on the top pair, the other is a 5’11 winger who will struggle to handle the physicality of the nhl and to impose his offense on a consistent basis

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@sensfan9116 @SensCentral Lots of amateur scouts working for nhl teams have never played at a high level. That means nothing. There’s more to scouting than looking at YouTube highlights and looking up their HockeyDB page like you probably do

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@sensfan9116 @SensCentral He’s definitely not. If you pay attention to his work closely, he does not care about clicks or public opinion or else he’d be interacting with the public sphere a lot more frequently. Both him and Scott work really hard all year even if you disagree with them.

@NHLFoley @coreypronman @TheAthleticNHL The exact quote in the blurb is “Bleyl is a good skater that can lead a rush” and his skating grade is average I.e. nhl average as in the average nhl player is a good skater.

@McGregorRousey2 I can never tell when you’re being sarcastic

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@VinnieParise A lot of scouts would disagree with your tier breaks, what makes you think that McKenna and Stenberg are a full tier ahead of the rest? The offense they bring is great but they’re both 5’11 wingers at the end of the day with varying degrees of competitiveness.

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@KadriSens I feel like if he comes to the Sens, 12.5-13M would be the minimum he’d consider extending with us

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@KadriSens Question for you, what’s the limit AAV you’d be comfortable paying Robertson?

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@KadriSens Agreed (the full quote is also available on the May 1st edition of the 32 thoughts podcast where he mentions the Rantanen deal).

Elliotte Friedman: Re Jason Robertson/Stars: They're gonna have to pay him, there's no question, I'm sure they've made that decision already - FAN Hockey Show (4/30)

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@KadriSens Friedman reported after they got eliminated that they were prepared to offer him the Rantanen contract

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@KadriSens Iwhy would Robertson an American living in a no tax state on a team who is one of the genuine contenders in this league (3 conference finals in a row before this years blip), decide to move to a city in Canada with a worse team in a high tax environment for an extra $4M total

[Patrick McConnell @PatrickScouting]

@KadriSens Idk if he would accept that, 500K extra over 8yrs is only an extra 4M and in a province that has a lot more tax vs Dallas being a no tax state. We’d have to really sweeten the deal to entice him to come over.
