How would we have drafted him since he went #2 overall? Great up and coming player it appears so far tho.

Still only 21.......struggled for two years, spent most of last season in the minors before coming up for the playoffs, and now this year he certainly seems to be breaking out.

So, wait a dad burn minute here. Are you saying that a defenseman, even a second overall pick, might need to spend time between the AHL and NHL to develop?

I think the op is referring to a trade rumor from last season. Schenn would have gone the other way.

I'm just (upset) we didn't draft McDavid when we didn't have the chance...

We should have at least gotten one of the Tkachuk boys when we didn't have the chance.

Yep, that's where I was headed with that! But I didn't want to spell it out more directly because it seems to send some off the edge!

I would just like to point out for the record/album, that your friendly sarcasm on a rather routine basis, is not only appreciated…but also welcomed. In an otherwise clusterphuck full of instigating, insincere, hypocritical, forum filled with peebrained peasants and fallopian tubed teeste toddlers, your Blues brethren banter is a beautiful breath of funky fresh oxygen.
