@BluesProspects1 I was very pro tank and thought the higher pick the better and still do, but with that being said I think the blues will get a great player at 11 and should help the young core in the relatively near future
@LFCpat511@Ferrario101ESPN A game in April that didn’t matter that you won’t remember by puck drop next season affecting our draft stock which is how teams build success is relevant to team success in a retool. Not trying to go at you but also want to mention it is important
@Ferrario101ESPN Yesyou can find countless examples of top 10 picks not working out or revisionist history of players that should have been drafted higher ofcourse but giving your team lottery percentage and a higher pick helps more than winning late season games being out
@Ferrario101ESPN Yes, those are great value picks. Kucherov 57th pick, Pastranak 25th overall all top players all great players that where found at later spots but doesn’t always happen as opposed to a top 10 pick which is usually a gaurentee
@NickYetAgain I’m not disagreeing with that at all im talking about draft talent. the difference between loosing one game tonight and getting the 8th overall pick and the 11th overall pick could be a vastly different player
@LFCpat511@Ferrario101ESPN We finished strong last season and that didn’t carry over to the start of the season plus roster changes are coming that would disrupt chemistry anyways. This one game would not affect the chemistry but the 8th overall pick from a loss would help the franchise
@MDeFranks The anti-tank crowd won’t even remember this game tonight when the puck drops in October. Winning meaningless games and not having a elite prospect or talent coming is awful
@M_Meyer3 It seemed like we knew since late November to early December that roster changes were coming and we were missing playoffs. Not everyone agrees the late season surge was infuriating as we put ourselves out of playoffs and high draft stock
@Palazzola_RTN I was initially alittle critical coming into today with no moves being made but all in all pretty solid. Would’ve liked to see one or two more pieces moved but really can’t complain overall
@Josh_B23@StevenBibas Idk if you guys saw his intermission interview Joey thanked him for the interview and he just ripped off the headset, said nothing, and went off maybe he was mad at the penalty but feel like he has one foot out the door
