Watching interviews/crowd shots, imo Shane Wright fell because he seems like he has just been coached on how to talk/act and it comes off as super awkward. He wasn’t even trying to smile when he shook Francis’ hand on stage lol

Compare that to Slaf who seems like a fun, chill dude

it's the Stars turn!!! let's go!!!

Word on the street is that the Stars are picking a defenseman, but I think most people at this point are hoping for them to pick up the sliding Brad Lambert...

picking based on positional need can wait till the 2nd round! come on Dallas, do the right thing!

No matter how good or bad the situation is, it is very sensitive and subject to change. It's a bad idea to publicly divulge information about it and he made the right call by zipping up.

Is there any chance Nemec plays this upcoming season? I wanted Slafkovsky but I think I'm happier with Nemec than a midget center.

I would expect them to give him a year in the A, but I do think they will also allow him to compete in camp for a bottom-pair spot and he could win it. Ty Smith seems like trade bait/on the way out/replaceable. I'm excited for the Devils' young guys now and I hope Nemec can make it next year, and I really hope Alex Holtz plays well in his time up.

I know it's felt like "this is the year they elevate themselves" a couple of times, but it really does feel that way over the next year or two. Fitzgerald has been really good as GM, the Devils have zero bad contracts, a good bunch of impact prospects/really young players, and a ton of cap space to go after a very good class of available free agents.

Goaltending is voodoo but if Kuemper isn't horribly long-term I would love to see them get him.

Really happy with Washington’s pick. Glad they went with high upside instead of the safe WHL defenseman they’ve been doing for years now.

Don't even mention Ty Smith. Hopefully they develop this dude differently/better.

Sorry, it's just that I was high on Smith. Unfortunately he is defensively a train-wreck and not good enough offensively to nearly make up for it.
