It's a talent evaluation, not a hockey card back competition...

I mean, on Saturday, we're going to pick a player with no NHL experience...the whole idea of this management thing is to be the best talent evaluators so that you can get good players for cheap...

Here I am, thinking that Ullmark's performance in his games and the box-on-the-side-of-the-road performance in their games are mutually exclusive.

Woah, woah, road side boxes can really be a dodint when they get wet...Buffalo's other goalies weren't that tough...

Ullmark is good. I would enjoy having him

This isn't the fun and exciting changes I hoped for.

Hextall has shown he can excel in the draft. Problem being that most scouts had their nuts in a grinder this season, so this draft is probably the biggest Hail Mary we’ve ever seen

Teams that are prepared (last year's notes, ability to scout on video) will excel, teams that don't have that (scouting in person vs video is a different skill set, for instance) will struggle...watch the teams that trade picks one for one for next year picks in the same round...

Pens open October 12 @ Tampa.

Oh, that should be easy. Tampas difference makers will be back on IR.

Pens open October 12 @ Tampa.

Normally, I'd be all in for trying to get to a Penguins game in Tampa. But not the season opener where they're raising the banner. Maybe I'll shoot for the Panthers game a couple days later even though that's a much longer drive.

Someone texted me that we got Darcy Kuemper...I'm camping, can't follow up...

They might be pulling your leg or misreading an article, because none of the big guns have mentioned that.

Yohe just recently wrote that the Pens are interested in him, but I didn't see any word of an imminent trade.

Told it was a mid round pick and a multi year deal between 3 and 5 per...we'll see, not standing by it...just drunk, trying to help...

I'm all in on Aleksei Heimosalmi.

Postby **meow** » Sat Jul 24, 2021 7:46 am

I would be on board with Kuemper.

Did he and Sean Burke cross paths in Phoenix? Because I would be very much on board if yes

Yes. Should have went in the 1st...

So not a great chance he'll drop to 58?
