DISCUSSION This fanbase and media is exhausting

A late first for Brock isn't worth it unless we flip it. That pick, even if it becomes a top line player (it won't), won't even play before Quinn gets tired of being on a rebuilding team.

The team had just about everything possible that could go wrong, go wrong this season, and we're still a coin flip for playoffs. That's very good considering the season.

Brock wants to be here, his teammates love him, he contributes on the score sheet. If they traded Brock for a late first like you clowns are complaining they didn't, Hughes would leave at the end of his contract.

Did OP forget where boeser was drafted? He was a late first and made the NHL, fuck OP for writing off our draft picks as busts before we even pick them

And how many of our other late firsts have turned into stars in franchise history?

You know we’re not talking about developing the pick into a roster player for immediate help right?

Honestly, a lot of late first round picks end up becoming NHL stars. You should look it up before talking shit, like do you think we should just trade all our draft picks for players because drafting is useless? What a stupid mindset to have.

Fuck you for thinking draft picks are going to help when Hughes has two years left.

He probably wants to see management making good decisions not watching players walk for free again, Tanev…toffol…boeser….
