Dont try to dissociate with me when my hand is out to grab u tenderly. Its time to recognize that and join me in thirst, of never ending doom and hopelessness. We both love to panic and let valuations be fluttered like tiger butterflies to make deals that make no sense for us time to time. Come with me.

Paul will eventually Author the BBKL Biography when we are all gone.

Timothy, ur team management is the very definition and epitome of "random by feel", and "having no direction". U and i are more alike than you think.

Omfg lol!

Because you just burned off 11+ hours again. The sheer lack of consideration is mind-blowing. It's like aggressive dickishness.

Sorry I went on the clock literally right after I went to bed and actually have a job to show up to and actually have to do some work lol!

Maybe if you had a better track record you'd have more credibility. Speaking of which how about you make your pick in ADHL

[The BBKL Insider]

Darkness up. I.pmed him

[Matthew]

79. Morgan Geekie - C - Tri-City

As someone who lives in western Canada and has seen him play plenty of times, it makes sense he was passed on last year. I knew he was going to be picked this year (just cuz of all the lists), but it really blows my mind, because despite his scoring this year he is quite bad, imo.

Have you watched him play this year? By all accounts he has improved his skating, he also is top-end defensive player and FO man, and he led his team in scoring with 35 goals and 90 points.

Say what you will about my team, but there is definitely a direction.

Dubois -- Vilardi -- Mittelstadt
Asplund -- Frederic -- Andersson
Benson -- Howden -- Comtois
Robertson -- Hurley -- Kuokkanen
Popugaev -- Geekie -- Wagner
Anderson -- Kaspick -- Koivula

Valimaki -- Fabbro
Carlsson -- Kylington
Koekkoek -- Mueller
Moverare -- Gavrikov
Niemelainen -- Carrier
Fitzgerald -- Borgen

+ the only worthwhile players on my roster are all young (Leddy, Danault, Eakin, Hartman, Beauvillier, Nutivaara)

[CasperX22]

But will you make gp?

Honestly: questionable. As is I'd be hopefully optimistic but by no means sure, but I'll look to add some guys before the season starts to solidify it.

[kimmer]

I do like ur first line prospects team bro

[CasperX22]

I do like ur first line prospects team bro

But do you like the rest?

[kimmer]

No i dont really

[timwebb1212]

No i dont really

Asplund - Just finished D+1 season at over .5 PPG in SHL, was PPG at WJC, smooth-skating 2way player
Frederic - 6'2" 201 good defensive C who was over PPG freshman season in NCAA
Andersson - Had a better draft year in SHL than Nylander
Benson - 41 in 33 as a D+1 on Vancouver team where only Bondra was even remotely close to PPG (he was one point under)
Howden - 6-3 C had 81 in 58 as a D+1, also had 73 PIM and led forwards on team in +/-, then went to play in AHL and had 6 in 8
Comtois - Was a top 10 pick coming into the year, still like his upside as gifted power forward
Robertson - still only 17, led Kingston in goals by 16 and points by 30, is also about 6-2 200
Hurley - former high 2nd who was near PPG junior season at ND
Kuokkanen - was putting up huge numbers early in the season as a CHL rookie in his D+1, then hit a wall when the rest of London did too
Popugaev - if he can ever get his head screwed on straight his upside is crazy, 6-6 goal scorer, had the talent of a top 10 pick but the head of a UDFA
Geekie - as I've already said, reports say his skating has vastly improved, led team with 90 points and is a very good defensive, PK, and FO guy
Wagner - ridiculously fast, good production in D+2 (albeit on loaded offensive team) but every scout who watches him comes away raving
Anderson - 37 in 39 as a freshman at UMD, made USA U20 team as a 18 y/o
Kaspick - 45 in 49 in D+1 season playing behind Patrick, also had good PIM numbers
Koivula - 6-4 220, had 30 in 50 in Liiga as a D+1, won Liiga ROTY and won't turn 19 till September

[Tony]

don't go down the rabbit hole, Tim... c'mon now

[kimmer]

and then ill just say:
http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2015e.html

after 3 years 6 players yet to play 1 NHL game in 1st round

8 players in 1st round draft played one or more full season in NHL so far lol

im just saying prospects are prospect man. rebuild is fun in a way but at the same time reality hits u when only one out of 10 pan out and even then they may not make impact in h2h
