If the Bruins draft Oleksiak then they might as well just become a basketball team

Haha no kidding. I can't get over how big he is. Being 6'7 is one thing, but when you're over 240 pounds at 17 it's just ridiculous. He can skate too.

I've said Sabres over Vancouver since the beginning of the season and I'll stick with it. I'm surprised at how close your picks are to mine Thom, good call.

Brian Boyle part 2. Nugent is obviously the class of this draft. Not the deepest of drafts but theres certain to be some gems. I'm waiting for round 5 to see who detroit drafts as the new Zetterberg those guys always squeak a star out of the later rounds.

Not really seeing how this is gonna pan out honestly. The Sabres won't get past the Flyers they will bounce them. The Kings will be lucky to take a game against the sharks. The Ducks will get by Nashville in a close series. I think this year the Canucks will go deep thats about all we can agree on. Can't wait for the puck drop i'm dying here.

The first year that I haven't been a homer and at least put the Sharks in the WCF. I'm done picking my own team, only primes you for disappointment.

I hope you bet on all that certainty. We'll see how it pans out, but I'm looking good after day one.
