Description

Not to be taken seriously. I specifically recall watching the draft and knowing that Barzal, Connor, and Chabot were the consensus picks at their position, it's not even hindsight. Obviously Bruins would be struggling with cap and other moves wouldn't have happened/would have been forced to happen, but let's just have some fun with it. Maybe they figure out a trade for Krejci and actually somehow manage to be compliant.

Nadda, you pushed off to start a new thread (ps it's been done ^ ^ ^)

What I engaged in/presented was a factual point of view on how a teams pick is not the way some flippantly comment - like 'fans', instead of GMs...

I never said they won the draft - not once. However, they picked two guys as per the "scouting reports" and went off the board for ZS.

No matter how you slice it/dice it/spin it - DeBrusk still leads all the 2015 class in PLAYOFF goals - even McJesus - that is fact.

Now back to your US$7,885,171M Cap crunch ^ ^ ^ there Jakey - chop-chop
