i think ras will be fine for what he is: a 3rd or 4th line guy. he should get stronger and hopefully that will result in a guy who can get to the net and not be moved and shows some physical forechecking ability. cause they need that badly. its just not what you want from the #9 pick. as for zadina, he's still young and could be on a line with vrana. he could produce. but i'll believe it when i see him stop shooting every puck either directly at the goalie or missing the net completely. let's see what a new system can do with them.

similar to what ras got.

that is such a sad list.

stats are fine if you understand what they measure and then you need to determine how valuable what theyre measuring really is. war - like any stat - is flawed. i think it places too much emphasis on quantity over quality and it tries to place a number on defense which i dont think you can accurately do. but that's just me. its not an invaluable stat, you just have to know what its flaws are.

semien hasnt been that good this year. the only reason he's ahead of correa is because semien leads the league in at bats. and he's also 31. 238/295/411 or 264/344/421? still better than baez though...

you can easily find a tucker barnhart any offseason.

i see so many people get back injections and then spinal fusion surgery. its incredible. it never works but still they do it. now, granted, when i see it its because theyre doing it for money, but it never seems to work regardless. backs are no joke.

war is a bullshit stat.

oh come on. i was hoping you had a cat named scout.

🙂 just messin' with ya.

i'm glad one of you can admit it. dear.

both of you were wrong.

i'm old enough to remember when half this board was crowing about the deal we got for baez rather than spending money on correa.

jobe is on these lists because of draft position.

fleetwood mac or harper lee?

that might have been the worst offseason dd ever had. it was one terrible move after another. wasnt that the alfredo simon year?

robbie ray too

fulmer was a good prospect.

i think its unlikely he amounts to anything. players who cant stay healthy usually stay unhealthy. ask deshawn hand. but you never know. i hope he pans out. mcneill looks pretty good so far. brockers is about to retire, imo. he's on the snacks harrison path without the 6 really good games he gave us. regardless, interior defensive line appears to be a big weakness for this team. combine that with the weakness at linebacker and it spells trouble stopping the run. i hope we get more "try hard" lions this year. that's kind of their only hope on defense. the offense should be pretty decent if goff holds up and doesnt turn into turtle goff like he was for half the season last year.

well, defensive tackle is really deep in next year's draft class!

i'm so sick of okc blatantly tanking in such a huge measure that i hope they pick in the top 5 for the next decade.

he lists so many folks as "nhl average" that it makes me wonder which nhl games he's been watching. maybe its because ive been watching too many red wings games?

Pronman ranks the wings #2 in under 23 talent. seider and raymond on top, of course. he put sebrango way too low for me. #13. seider raymond edvinsson kasper zadina soderblum veleno berggren cossa buium wallinder johannson sebrango mazur niederbach top 4 ranked as top line players. players through berggren ranked as middle line players. cossa seen as a backup goalie now. everyone from buium on down ranked as "projected to play nhl games." i think that's way too low for mazur and sebrango. disappointing for cossa but not unexpected because NEVER DRAFT A GOALIE IN ROUND ONE. but he's young and still a big project. he could come good eventually.

two guys almost sure to be on the practice squad.

i see the jazz have been scouting the drew league.
