The ‘23-‘24 boredom thread.. no square poop allowed
Beaglefan2:
Maybe he turns out ok. He went well higher than he was projected, but who knows. There were several players still there like Connelly (who had conduct issues) and Eiserman that seemed to be better prospects, but I'm not an NHL scout. The Caps drafting has been ok under GMBM, but I think you would have to rate his overall drafting as just average at best. We need them to get lucky on some 2nd and 3rd round picks.
Mickstix:
Yea, his drafting isn't bad. The trading though hasn't been great. Other than Oshie and I guess Strome, he's really not done anything but waste money.
And now this.. I really liked Maly's motor. Not sure what they think they'll improve on with this pick, but.. :cross:

Beaglefan2:
So that idiot just traded Malenstyn to Buffalo for a 2nd round pick! I loved Malenstyn - high energy, skilled, gave it 100%. This will be just like the Chandler Stephenson trade. He finally has a previous late round pick (5th round) that has developed into a really nice player and he trades him. I'm all for accumulated draft picks, but this was a huge mistake.
I am on the edge of moving on from the Caps.
Mickstix:
Panthers have fan vacancy! :wackysmile: lol
Yea, bad trade for the 43rd overall pick. Maly was "developed" and doing great for a 5th rounder. :-\
Beaglefan2:
AND - with that pick they got, they draft a smurf defenseman! Cole Hutson 5' 10" and 159 lbs. That's what they do - they pick up guys like Sandin and build a core of defenseman that are quick and can skate, but will get steamrolled if we ever get in the playoffs again.
