from Ottawa: D-man Marc Methot. probably the "steal" of the draft and definitely the BEST D-man available. may be their first ever captain
from Florida: "young gun" forwards Jonathan Marchessault (selection) AND Reilly Smith (trade for "donuts") proving once again that "Elmer Fudd" Rowe and Vinnie Viola the DUMBEST GM/coach and owner in the NHL
from Minnesota: forward Eric Haula. "Haul Azz" Haula a sniper with speed to burn. definite 1st line forward potential
from Vancouver: Luca Sbisa. decent D-man and probably "as good as it gets" from available Canucks
from Calgary: Deryk Engelland. solid "stay at home" D-man and "enforcer" tough guy. a "fan favorite" both in Pittsburgh and Calgary
from St Louis: David Perron. another "sniper with speed" forward like Haula
from Chicago: D-man Trevor van Riemsdyk. good young D-man that can bring some offense too. may be the #1 D-pairing with Methot
from Columbus: forward William Karlsson. I overlooked this kid in my draft BUT he is outstanding on the PK
from Toronto: forward Brendan Leipsic. a bit of a young "project" BUT been tearing it up in the minors. probably "as good as it gets" from the Maple Leafs
BAD
from Detroit: forward Tomas Nosek. WHO ??? could have had either goalie Petr Mrazek OR forward Darren Helm
from Sabres: forward William Carrier. WHO ??? D-man Zack Bogosian was available
from Predators: forward James Neal. ya he is "OK" BUT Las Vegas could have had Colton Sissons who showed in the playoffs he has more "upside" and is younger
from Tampa: D-man Jason Garrison. could have had "sniper" forward JT Brown
from New Jersey: D-man Jon Merrill. WHO ??? could have had "banger with skills" forward Devante Smith-Pelly
from San Jose: D-man David Schlemko. see New Jersey. could have had "banger with skills" forward Joel Ward
from Montreal: D-man Alexei Emelin. could have had center Tomas Plekanec
UGLY
I guess the "Nightmares" decided they needed a "marquee name" in goal selecting Marc-Andei Fleury from the Pittsburgh Penguins BUT they COULD have had their choice of forwards Bryan Rust (my choice), Carl Hagelin, Tommy Kuhnhackl or D-man Ian Cole
from Anaheim: selected D-men Clayton Stoner and
Shea Theodore on a "side deal" with the Ducks to stay off potential #1 pairing with Methot D-man Sami Vatanen. it is like getting two Chevrolet's for a Mercedes
from Islanders: selected backup goalie Jean-Francois Berube and get forward Mikhail Grabovski in a trade for "donuts" BUT could have had unprotected starting goalie Jaroslav Halak
from Rangers: get forward Oscar Lindberg who would normally be a GOOD sign BUT could have had unprotected goalie Antti Raanta instead who had better numbers than Lundqvist last season AND could have "pushed" Fleury for the starting job
from Philadelphia: forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare. could have had goalie Michal Neuvirth who also could have pushed Fleury. this selection made NO sense to me. right now your three "Nightmares" goalies their first season are the obvious starter Fleury with backups Berube and Calvin "Captain Jean-Luc" Pickard from Colorado. they are FUKKING FUKKED IF "The Flower" WILTS or gets injured
OPINIONS ???
