Its a tough pick to get excited about TBH. If we took a defensive guy who was fell to us at 25 (like Star or Ealy) I'd feel better about it.

 

Instead, we took a guy at a position we didn't need help at (yeah yeah I know TD is getting older and we didn't have an absolute stud for a 3rd LB, whatever, don't tell me LB was one of the top 5 spots we needed help at) right around where he was expected to be picked at, if not earlier.

 

Gonna trust in the fact that Gettleman is way smarter than the average NFL media writer/scout for the time being, but its hard to feel great about this pick.

B.

 

Not a need, but improves our D. Gives us a guy who can cover HBs, TEs and Slot guys. Can tackle well.  I expect us to use him like a hybrid Mike Mitchel/Thomas Davis kind of deal.

Rate: 8/8 mate

The draft didn't do us any favors. It didn't fall perfectly where a player we really liked dropped to us... But Gettleman took the top player on his board. I like it. We got better today.

I have a friend that works for a draft website and he told me he has a 3rd/4th round grade on Thompson. But I trust Gettleman much more than this guy.

TD said that Shaq is a better version of himself, and he was a great 1st round pick.  You haters are retahh-ded.

 

And just because TD says something means its true or will come to fruition? 

 

Lmao

 

As for the Grade. 

 

Id have to go with a B. 

 

Shaq has come question marks. This could turn out great or so so. 

 

Gotta give it some time.

I think TD has a much better concept of who is a better version of himself than any of us do, yes.

      Fire Rod

      I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.

      And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot

      I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
