Thread: MARNER TRADE UPDATED
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Herb_Brooks</b></div><div>what has brady ever lead his team too though lol? this is what i dont get about brady, hes looked at as this unreal leader and playoff type player yet hes never led his team to anything and has never played in the playoffs. and if marner is a primadonna, then so is brady lol. I even said that the sens wouldnt and shouldnt do a marner for tkachuk cause of tkachuks contract but marner is the better player. but brady is viewed as this god who hasnt done anything so far in his career</div></div>

Brady, is someone that actually has a voice in the lockerroom, is Marner well liked by his coaches and teammates through and through. Not from what we have recently seen in the playoffs.

Brady puts everything into every shift. Also to your point what has Marner lead his team to? You cannot say the playoffs or whatever because it isn't Marner carrying the team on his back, its Matthews and Nylander that are the true stars of the leafs

Thread: My top 32 Rank (Not Draft) Give opinions thanks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>That's not... that's not really the argument I'm making here. Most of the guys in the top 17 will need a year or 2 of development also so that point is irrelevant.

My argument is he's on the younger side of the prospects (which does matter at that age) and that I don't think he falls all the way out of the top 10, and certainly not down to 17.

Every year every pick between like 7-50 can be a toss up because these are basically kids your picking from. Even late round guys develop well.

The kid broke the USNTDP record for goals in a season and he's like 6 months to a year younger than 95% of this draft class, I just don't think a team at like 10th passes that up because Zadina was a bust 7 years ago and some guy at The Athletic thinks he's a cherry picker.

I don't know, I could be wrong. I just don't want Ottawa to draft another bust tbh lol.</div></div>

Who are your busts? Boucher? Thompson? I don't think JBD is a bust. Maybe Colin White?

Thread: My top 32 Rank (Not Draft) Give opinions thanks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BillytheKid3</b></div><div>Ya guys see Pronmans rankings and think teams will just straight go by that. I've been debating [arguing] a few Caps fans about this.

My comment recycled from another thread below:

"I know we're all armchair analysts here, and you're mock draft is very interesting. That kid is one of the purest goal scorers I've ever seen.

Keep in mind, Eiserman is a basically a September 06 (Aug 29th) so he's one of the youngest players in this draft. I could only imagine what another 8 months to a year could do. Someone graabs the kid in the top 10."</div></div>

I will say, everyone gave into my logic on the other post.

For a shortened version here:

Eiserman has the talent for his offensive ability but he is not a complete player and is a ways off from being NHL ready. Needs probably another 2 years of development.

Here is the point I made. Look back to the 2018 draft and look at the hype around Filip Zadina. He was seen as the same type of prospect, a massive offensive threat that had his shot going for him. Teams passed on him because he was not a complete player and I am sure Detroit wishes they could go back and pass on him as well. Not saying Eiserman will pan out the same way, but that is the type of risk you take with this kind of player.
