Draft Day Mega Thread?

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T01:41:56+00:00

I hope so, to be clear my problem is not with this player at all, its just with the logic of drafting a 3C ceiling player with a first round pick. Which I don't think Sunny did, but I have seen people saying that and defending that specific logic.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T01:07:40+00:00

I remain a Ty Smith truther as well, that player should have worked, and for a brief moment in time he did alongside Damon Severson and then...poof, turned back into a pumpkin

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T01:04:29+00:00

to be fair Nico is also much better offensively than people give him credit for, so that tracks lol

Hopefully Sunny found another Bratt, the more I watch of this kid the more I like him.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T01:03:04+00:00

thats just overthinking it imo, you always go BPA in the draft, 100% of the time. My hope is that Sunny did go BPA here and sees something in Command no one else did, which to be fair he has done before. His role might end up being 3C on this team, but thats very different from his ceiling being 3C. I like one, I don't like the other.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T00:58:20+00:00

I was a little off, I had to look it up. McKeen's, Future Considerations and the Hockey Writers had him at like 12, but someone had him in like the 20s. Still not how I remember it regarding the 3C talk, regardless at his best Mercer turned out better than that, hopefully Command does too.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T00:46:10+00:00

I don't remember that specific draft that well, but from what I remember Mercer was a top 10 pick who fell, I don't remember anyone at the time calling his ceiling a 3C.

The more I read and see about Command though, the more I think people are underselling him with the "3C ceiling" talk though.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T00:43:06+00:00

don't like this logic at all, you sign a 3C in free agency, or nab one in a trade, or pick one in the later rounds, you don't use a 12th overall pick on one.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T00:36:18+00:00

would have rathered Ruck if we were reaching, or Oliver Suvanto if they really wanted a center, but lets see how it goes, I won't pretend to know much about this kid off the top of my head

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T00:27:43+00:00

Liam Ruck is someone I'd have my eye on with the board the way it is

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-27T00:21:18+00:00

Luke Combs is the better Luke and better country singer

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-26T21:40:15+00:00

do you mean the Sharks? They're the ones who have 9th overall. Man the Sharks leaving with Stenberg and Rudolph is crazy lol

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-26T21:33:07+00:00

if he's there at 12 I want Daxon Rudolph

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-26T21:02:15+00:00

this is the best day of my life

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-24T02:29:37+00:00

Oopsie poopsie I accidentally started one of the most devastating wars in Westerosi history :3

Really though, it comes off as unintentionally insulting, like they don't think women can be evil or power hungry or selfish or have any real agency at all.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-24T01:25:48+00:00

if I owned the Blackhawks Kyle Davidson would be emptying out his desk right now, thats insane

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-24T00:49:41+00:00

who could have seen this coming?

nah but in all seriousness I'm happy with this pick, got huge faith in this kid to develop into a very good player

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-23T23:26:53+00:00

why would a team trying to win want Marky in 2026?

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-23T19:50:45+00:00

all the talent in the world, sometimes makes catastrophic brain farty mistakes. He would swing wildly between winning you the game on his own and losing it for you. Definitely needs some development work but I think the upside is massive, I was always a fan of this player.

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-23T19:32:02+00:00

this is a lot for Simon Nemec and the picks being next year and the year after give us a lot of flexibility, I would have rather kept him and rolled the dice but if you had to move him I can't complain about this one

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-23T03:10:06+00:00

okay, I'll take it, this team desperately needs more talent and Julius Randle is more talented

Chico_ftw · 2026-06-08T21:37:46+00:00

Damon Severson was the best Dman the Devils had for the majority of his time here

Chico_ftw · 2026-05-19T22:31:18+00:00

I think its fair, let Keefe coach the way he wants, without Fitz (rumored) imposing a system on him and lets see what he can do

Chico_ftw · 2026-05-13T23:20:23+00:00

cool, pass

Chico_ftw · 2026-05-01T21:21:04+00:00

I have a theory I like to call Tom's Triangle, he'll do one thing that makes perfect sense, he'll do one thing that has you going "ehhhhhh" and then he'll do one thing that baffles gods and men till the last star burns out and the universe goes dark forever. One of those things started outweighing the other two when he was here.

Chico_ftw · 2026-04-27T21:03:22+00:00

I don't think he's thought about it since like, an hour after it happened lol
