Bears close to trading to 2, then to 9 with Carolina moving up to 2: Houston felt comfortable staying at 2 because they are confident Carolina doesn’t take their guy.

Here is the truth. Houston doesn’t have “a guy.” These two are so close that whoever is left will be deemed the one they wanted the entire time and their decision to stay at 2nd will be seen as prescient. Never in recorded history has a team picking 2nd overall said they wanted who went 1st but took what was left. You immediately freeze your relationship with the player as well as the fan base. There’s no gain to be made. And you can bet whoever goes 3rd was 1st on the board of the team picking there. Funny how that works.

This has to be one of the most well executed smokescreens of all time. They convinced everyone, even the Texans, that they wanted Stroud, which made the Texans comfortable staying put. Then they take Young. Beautiful.

Yea this is what I think happened. Which is, as stated, probably the greatest draft punk of all time

Take note that Houston basically sprinted to the podium as soon as we announced our pick. Sounds like they had conviction in who they wanted and were comfortable sitting at 2.

they probably wanted to hurry up and get the cardinals on the clock to pressure them into the trade wtih them... sounds like Titans and Texans were burning the Cardinals phone down to the last minute.

Yeah, this is what happened. Stroud wasn't on the top of anyone's board.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
